It’s no exaggeration to say that opportunities like this may only come once in a lifetime. This is the original Tankerville Homestead. Constructed when there were no other houses in any direction for many, many kilometers, this is a slice of Christchurch history. The landmark home has been lovingly maintained and improved over the years, always with the careful touch of owners who knew how precious it is. With post-quake Christchurch having lost so many character properties it’s a real boon to find one in such brilliant condition and with a back story you will want to hear.

• A covered veranda with intricate woodwork frames three sides of the house.
• Other architectural features reflecting the era of the home include, stained glass feature doors, high stud ceilings with plaster cornices and ornamental ceiling roses, archways in the main entrance hall, and extra deep skirtings throughout.
• Living, dining and kitchen are spacious and open plan, connecting out to the veranda via stained glass French doors.
• The U-shaped kitchen has loads of bench and storage space, a Miele wall oven and gas hob.
• Three bedrooms and a spacious bathroom with full size bath and separate shower.
• The separate laundry is bigger than many kitchens with built-in cabinetry and benches making it a utility room with multiple potential uses.
• A study is adjacent to the laundry.
• Separate double garage with off-street parking in front

Sitting on a beautifully landscaped 887m2 private section the home is well positioned for sun and enjoys fantastic privacy. This has been a home much loved and admired over the years and as time progresses that’s only likely to increase. Who will write the next chapter in the history book here?
