5 Webb Street, Merivale, Christchurch

Priced well below R.V - highly motivated sellers

Eye-catching charm and unrealised potential hold the limelight at this inspiring character residence.
This wonderful family home must now be sold. Constructed in the 1910s and extended in the '70s the expansive double-level layout blends interior upgrades with original finishes to offer modern comfort and charisma while also presenting an inviting canvas for further renovation and personalisation.
Beyond the weatherboard facade is a 274sqm (approx) footprint that honours the past with its significant scale, offering five top-floor bedrooms, including one with an adjoining study space. Two top-floor bathrooms in original condition are complemented by a ground-floor laundry, shower room and w/c for day-to-day functionality.
Character has been superbly retained in the aesthetically enhanced living spaces, notably in both grand lounges, while the sunroom is suited for leisurely relaxation. The open-plan kitchen and dining area is a visually appealing hub, with wooden floors elegantly offsetting pastel cabinetry and quality stainless steel appliances, including a steam oven, a conventional oven and a gas hob.
A nod to tradition manifests in the home's ample storage options and the diesel oil-fired boiler, which efficiently heats the radiators and water supply.
The garden is planted for privacy and tailored to family life, with extensive decking, a well-sized lawn, planter boxes and a designated BBQ zone, rendering it an ideal backdrop for outdoor enjoyment.
A detached double garage with an auto door completes this thoroughly compelling property.
Beautifully placed between Merivale Mall and the inner city, this property puts you close to social hotspots, shopping boutiques, entertainment precincts and Hagley Park. Its exceptional location, combined with its placement in premium school zones, Christchurch Boys', Girls' and Burnside High Schools and proximity to private education, adds another layer of indisputable value.
