57 Canterbury Street Lyttelton, Christchurch City

Welcome to one of Lyttelton's most genuine treasures: a lovingly restored and maintained character home in a gorgeous garden setting, perfectly placed in an elevated position, just above the bustling town centre.

Built in 1904 by Albert Thomas Mutton (a resident of Lyttelton since he arrived on the 'Steadfast' in 1851) as his family home, the condition of this property today is a tribute to his foresight, specification and skills followed by 118 years of care and attention since its completion. The welcoming entrance has a lacework framed verandah entrance leading into a central hallway or around the house to side and rear access. Spacious open plan living at the rear of the house has brilliant views complete with amazing sunsets over gardens and hillsides stretching away to the Harbour.

Both front bedrooms are doubles overlooking the front verandah and there is a seperate study with a sunny northerly aspect. The modernised bathroom has attractive character features. The lower story offers two large, functional utility rooms, serviced by a seperate toilet, with access to those expansive gardens. Whether as a work from home option, creative studio, media centre or teenagers' retreat, it could offer many practical options.

With positioning of the house near to the eastern boundary, the usable space of its 652 square meter section is impressive. The invitation to the 'Good Life' is even more compelling with tree framed lawn areas in a micro climate inviting year round cultivation of vegetable and orchard crops. Another charming link with the past as part of this fabulous family enjoyment opportunity.
