A timeless property with undeniable aesthetic appeal, well proportioned, flowing spaces and perfectly positioned in one of Fendalton's most popular streets will always have an unfair advantage.

This is a home that is undoubtedly going to attract a good deal of interest from those looking for a home that will not only stand the test of time but also places them firmly in the Christchurch Boys and Christchurch Girls High School zones.
