7 Watson Street, Akaroa, Banks Peninsula

Sold under the hammer

This splendid home combines charm, location and robust construction to provide a seamless holiday retreat or an easy care permanent residence.

The current owners have achieved a fantastic cosmetic makeover of the living spaces that enjoy an effortless flow between the open plan kitchen and dining area to the adjoining lounge. Basking in all day sun, these warm and inviting spaces are also cosy and relaxing in the cooler months courtesy of its modern wood-burner. Future enhancements such as an expansive deck or removing a wall to create an even more magnificent open-plan living space could be considered.

Two sunlit double bedrooms with built-in wardrobes are positioned to capture the warmth of the northern sun. A third, versatile single bedroom—ideal for a bunk room or work from home space—offers endless possibilities.

The bathroom features a shower-over-bath combo and vanity, with a separate toilet for added convenience. A generous laundry area further complements the residence and provides additional space for storage.

The 612sqm freehold section offers unparalleled drive-on access for boats, caravans, or additional vehicles, with single-car garaging under the dwelling, alongside a spacious storage room and abundant extra space. The outdoor grounds are a blank canvas for gardeners, featuring both front and rear lawns and a tiled barbecue area.

Positioned at the bottom of Watson Street and only a stone's throw away from Rue Balguerie, this superb location situates you only a short walk from the vibrant town center, trendy cafés, amazing bakery, restaurants, supermarket and boat ramp.
