With Mona Vale as its backdrop, uninterrupted and entirely private views across the gardens, and the Wairarapa Stream tracing its boundary, Linburn has a presence few can claim, covering 1,318sqm and coming to the market on an 'as is, where is' basis.
Architecturally designed in 1911 by Cecil Wood for Judge Oscar Alpers, the home has been a long-standing private residence aside from a short time as a boarding house in 1933, this property holds both legacy and limitless possibilities.
Set within an authentic park-like landscape, its grand proportions remain intact, spanning four bedrooms, a separate office, and three distinct living areas, as well as an intimate snug.
The master suite reflects the home's generous proportions, offering a dressing room, a walk-in wardrobe and a recently renovated modern ensuite bathroom, while an open-plan kitchen and dining area serve as a social anchor.
A celebration of character, the interiors showcase period-rich details, from decorative fireplaces and tongue-and-groove features to leadlight windows and timber floors, each element preserving its timeless appeal.
Daily demands are met with a separate laundry, a double garage, and ample storage, but it's the setting, spectacular in scale and scenery, that defines this home's distinction.
A true sanctuary, the picturesque grounds run down to the riverbank, where mature greenery provides shelter, and a patio naturally extends the space for entertaining.
With Mona Vale as your neighbour, Hagley Park just up the road, and Fendalton and Merivale Malls within effortless reach, this coveted position places you moments from local cafés as well as esteemed public and private schooling.
The path ahead presents two possibilities—restore and revive its legacy or reimagine its future through reinvention in one of Christchurch's most privileged locations.
