Overview

Ignore the RV — Owners Now In Retirement Village

Auction on site Wednesday 22nd July at 2:00pm (unless sold prior) The owners have moved into a retirement village. The decision is made. This home is on the market and is seriously selling. The door's open in every sense. Here's what's behind it. It's a modern, single-level home in Ilam, a short walk from the University of Canterbury. Built in 2007 and well looked after the whole way through. Warm with it, too: two heat pumps, a gas fire, full insulation and double glazing hold the heat through winter. Three bedrooms. Two bathrooms. A double garage with internal access. A 472m² section that stays low-maintenance and out of your weekends. Then there's where it sits. You're between the University of Canterbury's Dovedale and Ilam campuses, with Ilam Gardens a short stroll away. New World is less than a kilometre down the road. Buses run straight into the central city. Zoned for Westburn Primary and Riccarton High, with Villa Maria College within walking distance. Work at the university? You can walk to it. If there's a student in the family, this is a base you own instead of rent. And for anyone scaling back the upkeep, it's single-level living with everything close by.
