Overview

Campus on One Side. Comfort on the Other.

Auction on site Wednesday 22nd July at 2:00pm (unless sold prior) Built in 2007 and set on a single level, this is the kind of home that asks very little of you and gives back plenty. Inside, it's warm and easy to live in. Two living areas plus a sunroom give you room to spread out or settle in, and two heat pumps, underfloor heating and double glazing keep things comfortable through a Canterbury winter. Three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a double garage with internal access round out a layout that suits everyday living without fuss. The sunroom is the kind of spot you'll use more than you expect — morning coffee, an afternoon read, somewhere warm to sit when the rest of the city is reaching for a jacket. 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, and buses run straight into the central city. For families, you're zoned for Westburn Primary and Riccarton High, with Villa Maria College within walking distance. It's a setup that works for more than one kind of buyer. Anyone with ties to the university — staff, academics, or parents buying for students — gets a comfortable home you can walk almost everywhere from. And for downsizers, it's modern, single-level living with everything close at hand. Key details: – Built 2007 – Single-level living, 187m² approx. – Two living areas plus a sunroom – Three bedrooms, two bathrooms (including ensuite) – Two heat pumps, gas fire + underfloor heating – Wall and ceiling insulation, double glazing – Double garage with internal access – 472m² section, low maintenance The owners have moved on to a retirement village, so this one is selling.
