19 Zephyr Terrace, Governors Bay, Banks Peninsula, Canterbury

Nestled in this mature beautiful garden in a very private and picturesque setting is this charming character filled 4 bedroom home. Set on a stunning 1692m2 site, this home has grown from a humble turn-of-the-century farmer’s cottage to this warm sunny and inviting family home. Set over 3 easy levels, extensive use of native timber and large windows ensure lots of sun and natural light and a lovely ambience. Wonderful garden and harbour views from throughout the house, prolific bird-life and really a gardener’s paradise. The large open plan kitchen/dining area is the heart of the house which has 3 separate living areas with 2 wood-burners and a heat-pump for those winter evenings. The more recent extension leads through a glass filled staircase to a traditional elegant sitting room with French Doors out into the garden. The master bedroom also has French Doors to access the outdoor bath area with its sheltered verandah. Numerous meandering paths lead to an Artist’s Studio, fully insulated and with more garden and sea views. Families, Artists and Bird Lovers will be captivated by this tranquil and peaceful setting. The house just blends seamlessly into the garden with its mature trees, fruit trees, roses, vege patch, just perfect and all this only 15 minutes’ drive from town. If you have been dreaming of a different lifestyle and want to be part of a community in Governors Bay this one will be hard to beat. With very few owners over the past 100 odd years and located in such a prime position our vendors reluctantly feel it is time to move on.
