Auction Wednesday 11 November 2026 from 6:00pm (not selling prior)
Perfectly positioned on the sought-after St Albans/Mairehau border, this newly renovated home combines the timeless character of a quintessential Christchurch bungalow and the ease of refined contemporary design.
Throughout, its traditional charm is thoughtfully paired alongside modern finishings. Character Rimu cabinetry, colonial skirting, brass hardware and leadlight windows sit alongside solid modern European Oak flooring, sculptural designer feature lights, matte black electrical points and, boucle; curtains on black statement rails. The result is timeless, sophisticated and quietly distinctive.
Practical improvements are equally impressive, including a new roof, renovated bathroom with underfloor heating, updated kitchen, new underfloor insulation and moisture barrier, fresh weatherboard and interior paint, LED lighting and generous storage. Together, these upgrades offer peace of mind and a home ready to be enjoyed for years to come.
On entry, soaring raised ceilings and a craftsman-panelled entrance hall set the tone, flowing through to the open-plan kitchen, living and dining area. The renovated kitchen features a large freestanding induction oven and a stylish blend of classic native rimu and modern minimalist cabinetry. A cleverly concealed European-style laundry has also been thoughtfully renovated for everyday functionality.
Three generous bedrooms each feature double wardrobes, while additional storage is conveniently provided throughout the living areas and hallways.
The beautifully appointed bathroom showcases floor-to-ceiling tiling, a spacious tiled shower with twin rain and handheld showerheads, and a refurbished original clawfoot bath with double-faucet tapware and a hand mixer. English-style tapware, underfloor heating and a heated towel rail complete the space, with the added convenience of a separate toilet.
To the outside, each end of the living area is framed by South-East and North-West ends decks for sun-drenched morning and evening outdoor entertaining. French doors open to the formal North-West deck and hedged courtyard, while the South-East facing kitchen window admires a large securely fenced lawn framed by white hydrangeas, perfectly suited to minding children, pets or summer entertaining. Behind the garage, a versatile area offers space for a vegetable garden, fire pit, children's play area or dog run, with potential for a future garage extension, sleep out, home office or gym.
The location is hard to beat for families, with Mairehau Library just 170m away, a preschool directly across the road and the newly renovated St Francis Catholic School only two streets away.
Renovated with the intention of being a long-term home, the property balances considered style, enduring quality and the practicalities of everyday living. Materials and finishes have been chosen with care and sit comfortably above the ordinary. Thoughtful, distinctive and made for living well - this is one to experience in person.
