Vendors are motivated and ready to move on

A magnificent stately homestead has bedded itself in nicely to its new surrounds in semi-rural Wanganui after being moved from town four years ago. The six bedroom, two storey home is an integral part of the rich tapestry that is Wanganui's history.
The house, now on one hectare of ground at Westmere, began life as the home and doctor's surgery of Mollie Christie, who later lent her name to the Mollie Christie Maternity Ward at Wanganui Hospital. Dr Christie built the homestead in 1932 in Wicksteed St , to be later divided up into eight sections in 2007 and trucked to the lush pastures of Westmere and reassembled with additions. Firstly, the piles that formed the new foundations were designed to meet the strict criteria of the Wellington provinces earthquake standards. Once reassembled renovations, including two new en suites, were carried out to meet today's living environment. Secondly, the surrounding grounds were landscaped and even after just four years the gardens are taking shape. The sections either side of the driveway are fenced into two paddocks and a two bay garage was constructed with two carports attached. A woodshed and a chook run were also built. The interior of the home boasts two lounges, including a cozy living/dining area adjacent to the modernized kitchen that features gas hobb bench top elements and
an electric oven. On the lower level, what was once the doctor's surgery, has been redesigned to accommodate a two bedroom, self-contained apartment suitable for lease or a small home for family and friends. The house also boasts six bathrooms (including the ensuites) - five with showers and one with a bath. There are six separate toilets. Toward the rear of the lower level is a children's games room, with a small bedroom and an en suite adjacent. The upper level contains five spacious bedrooms and ample window space to take in the stunning surrounding rural views.

The current owners are highly motivated to sell.
