RIVERSIDE
When there is a mention of the name James Walter Chapman-Taylor the audience hush wanting history on this imminent architect, builder, photographer and furniture maker from the early 20th century. Chapman Taylor built approx 97 homes in New Zealand, several in the Taranaki to the Arts & Crafts style of the time. One such home Riverside sits on 3712 sqm in native and exotic trees with a bubbling stream running through the property. The home is pure Chapman-Taylor style constructed of plaster finish, concrete slab floors, beams and outstanding Inglenook fireplace all creating an atmosphere honouring the man. The floor plan exemplifies open plan living to a large conservatory for all day sun. Three bedrooms, two bathrooms and a modernised kitchen complete the package. The vendors have upgraded the décor to a high standard however there is still scope to employ your personal taste and add value. The long tree lined drive creates an anticipation of what is to be found at the end and the home and garages plus carport and original gardeners shed wont disappoint. Built in 1922 and enduring to this day in practicality so please take the time to visit and consider negotiation to buy.
