Nestled in the heart of Akaroa, this beautiful Victorian Colonial Cottage, constructed in the 1870s, is a true embodiment of the town's heritage charm. Set on a freehold title of 341sqm, this property is just a short stroll from the waterfront, offering a blend of historic elegance and enviable location.

Thoughtfully enhanced by renowned architect Colin Pilbrow, resulting in a stunning property that unlocks panoramic views of Akaroa Harbour, framed by a canopy of cherry blossoms during the spring that beautifully complement the lush, manicured gardens.

The upstairs sundeck is the perfect retreat to relax and unwind, offering an outlook that must be seen to be believed. The main bedroom upstairs enjoys spectacular views, with a cleverly designed en-suite toilet and basin for added convenience. French doors provide easy access to the deck, making it a seamless space to enjoy the beauty of the surroundings. Additionally, a spacious loft bedroom serves as a perfect guest retreat, currently set up with a double and two single beds, also opening to the deck.

The layout offers multiple living and accommodation possibilities, making it easy to customize the space to suit your needs. A third double bedroom on the ground floor is easily accessible for family or guests.

Downstairs, two interconnected living spaces offer natural light and a wonderful sense of space. The main living area features a beautiful open fireplace and seamlessly opens to the garden, extending your living space outdoors—ideal for long lunches in the shade or evening gatherings. The gorgeous, sun-drenched kitchen has been upgraded with modern appliances and boasts bi-folding windows that open up to guests, creating the perfect pass-through for al fresco dining and entertaining.

This Victorian Colonial Cottage is more than just a home; it's a piece of Akaroa’s heritage with a modern twist. Offering unparalleled views, a thoughtfully designed layout, and a prime location, this property is truly one-of-a-kind. Don’t miss the opportunity to experience the beauty and serenity of this remarkable residence.
