9 Hope Street, Westmere

After moving to Christchurch eighteen years ago, our seller has refused to 'give up hope', stubbornly holding on to her Auckland ties through two decades. Purchased twenty three years ago, she identified this quiet street and pounced when this elevated sun-drenched villa came on the market. Snowballing in popularity over the last twenty years, this is a winning location on the city fringe, and regardless of the increasing demand, this remains a family community with a big heart. Just a few minutes' walk from the vibrant West Lynn Village where you are spoilt for choice for your morning coffee and evening dining and socializing at Lilian, Gypsy Tea Room, and Malt. In the other direction is Farro, Ozone Coffee Roasters, Countdown supermarket and Mitre 10. This is a classic quintessential villa, typical of the area, with many authentic features, including Kauri floorboards, timber fretwork inside and out, and even an original finial proudly in place. Comfortable and very livable right now, it is immediately apparent there is enormous potential here to add value and give this lovely old lady the upgrade she deserves! Sitting on an established 392 sq m there is room to expand, and in this prime position your efforts would be well rewarded. Meanwhile, you can enjoy spectacular sunsets from the rear north-west facing deck in perfect privacy surrounded by verdant greenery. If schooling is a priority, Westmere Primary is an easy and safe six or seven minute walk, and highly regarded, newly rebuilt, Western Springs College is in zone. Get ready to 'pounce' as this is a limited opportunity, and our seller is finally 'Giving Up Hope'. Boundary lines indicative only. Auction: Closes 12:00 p.m. Saturday 10 December 2022 (unless sold prior)...
