30th October 2008: Exclusive homes generate strong buyer demand

Fletchers lists more top quality Canterbury properties
Spring is upon us and traditionally this is a time when many properties come on the market as owners take advantage of the warmer weather, flowering gardens and leafy surrounds to sell their homes. This year is no exception and Fletchers is already seeing top quality homes coming up for sale in this tightly-held blue chip area.
Being such an exclusive area, buyers anxious to purchase need to move quickly if they are going to secure a first class property. With interest rates tipped to fall at the end of this year, Fletchers is already seeing signs that the market is turning. The agency has already noted investors snapping up properties as they try to maximise future capital gains.

Two properties that will undoubtedly attract buyers have just been listed by Fletchers Canterbury.

The first at 24 Selwyn Street, Canterbury is a beautifully proportioned Edwardian timber home priced at $1.3 million. Just about to celebrate its centenary, the home is in outstanding order.
Fabulous modern period style fully tiled ensuite and family bathrooms and a modern kitchen with quality fittings, stainless steel appliances and a large pantry mark this as an exceptional home. The property also offers a splendid formal living and dining room, 4 excellent bedrooms (or 3 plus drawing room) and a superb family room with high ceilings.
The property's abundantly exquisite period features include Marseilles roof tiles and decorative pinnacles, a return verandah, coloured leadlights and high ceilings with tasteful cornices and roses.
