816 Old Tai Tapu Road Tai Tapu, Selwyn District

Radiating all the historic charm & enduring beauty of yesteryear, this character-filled villa is nestled in an idyllic village setting just a short walk to Tai Tapu school, popular eateries & Tai Tapu's renowned 9-hole golf course. Offering a tasteful combination of old & new thanks to sympathetic renovations that cater to modern family living, this remarkable home is set on 954sqm of established gardens with uninterrupted vistas of lush, green farmland.

Radiating warmth & character, the interior boasts a spacious lounge with wood burning fire plus two sets of French doors opening to a large wooden deck, creating the perfect place for alfresco dining & entertaining. The adjoining dining room is open plan to the generous modern kitchen, complete with freestanding Delonghi oven, large bench tops, double fridge space plus bi-fold windows to the deck. With all the quality features expected of a home of this era such as over-height ceilings, large sash windows, wooden floors & doors, this home also features modern comforts such as built-in robes in the three double bedrooms plus a spacious family bathroom which also has access off the master bedroom. A standalone garage has been thoughtfully converted to a large workshop with a connecting yet separate multi-functional room, both with independent access allowing for some great options: work-from-home, hobby spaces, man cave or guest accommodation. Perfectly complimenting the home, the lovely gardens feature a multitude of fruit trees such as apple, plum, apricot & peach plus strawberry & raspberry patches, & a gas heated outdoor bath & shower provides an ideal spot to relax & enjoy the rural views.
