Visit, Love, Buy, Enjoy

Located in a unique pocket of Christchurch just 200m outside the Four Avenues, and nestled in a delightful street filled with historical workers cottages built over 100 years ago.

We proudly present 'Harper Cottage' named after William Edward Harper who lived there in the 1890s. Our current owners are the perfect combination - one a heritage builder, the other a leadlight window artisan. Together they have meticulously restored the house from the foundations up during their 17 year tenure. Be further encouraged knowing his 'day job' has included restoration work of Godley House, Provincial Chambers, Mona Vale Bath House and Rose Chapel.

While retaining the original charm of high ceilings and ship-lap weatherboards, the structure has been extensively re-built encompassing; new piles, framing, insulation of walls, ceiling and underfloor, new plumbing and wiring.

The simple floor plan works perfectly and offers flexibility to be configured as 3 bedrooms or 2 bedrooms plus home office or snug. You will love the outdoor bath with instant hot water (the original from inside) and generous decking conducive to quiet relaxation or fabulous fun with family and friends. Freehold title of 450sqm with a 85sqm dwelling allows exciting possibilities - maybe a garden studio or hidden retreat, or perhaps you will leave history untouched.

Just a 10 minute river walk from the CBD gives underlying strength to your investment. Total commitment to selling means early inspection recommended.
