AI summary
A landmark 1880s Georgian-style house in Christchurch's Cranmer Square is for sale. Following the 2011 earthquake, the home underwent a supreme post-quake restoration, strengthening the structure while preserving its historic character and Parisian elegance.
This exceptional 290m² city residence features:
- Five bedrooms and two living rooms
- A terraced courtyard with a heated pool and spa
- Modern refinements like solar-powered blinds
Marketed by Jilby Thomas of Ray White Metro, this is a unique opportunity to own a significant piece of Christchurch history.
The property has an enviable location opposite the park and close to key schools.
Sun streams into the north-facing sunroom, which maximises the leafy outlook.
There are two sitting rooms, one study and five bedrooms.
The house reflects a designer’s eye.
The current owner, who restored the house, opted for a long, galley-style kitchen in the family living area, which opens to a courtyard.
White blinds rather than traditional curtains keep the look sleek and uncluttered.
A heated pool, spa, outdoor fireplace and alfresco dining area are features of the rear courtyard.
