Overview

University and Family Appeal

Enquiries Over $1,249,000 Designed for flexibility and positioned for demand, this substantial Ilam property achieved $1,470 per week in 2025 prior to renovation and now, following a comprehensive refresh, presents exceptionally well for both investors and owner-occupiers. Set on 948sqm down a long driveway, the home offers five bedrooms, an office, and a separate study/games room off the main living area, providing excellent flexibility for families, guests, student living or working from home. The accommodation is supported by two bathrooms and a separate toilet, creating practical separation for larger households. Constructed in the 1960s and extensively updated throughout, the home pairs permanent-material reliability with a significantly sharper standard of modern living. With a north-facing aspect, the floor plan is arranged to capture the day’s sun while keeping routines, downtime, entertaining and shared living moving easily in every direction. For investors, the address is immediately compelling. Positioned within a 2-minute walk of the University of Canterbury and close to Church Corner and key transport connections, the property sits in the heart of a proven rental catchment. With Healthy Homes re-certification completed in 2026. Rapidly growing student numbers and limited housing supply place investors directly in the path of consistently rising demand. For families, the layout has genuine longevity. At the heart of the home, the contemporary kitchen sits within a generous open-plan living and dining area, complemented by a separate lounge and study/games room. These spaces connect easily with the patio and rear deck, extending the living outdoors to the in-ground pool and entertainment area where summertime living takes over. Year-round comfort is well catered for with a log burner with wetback and three heat pumps, while a separate laundry, extensive storage, detached double garage and generous off-street parking add everyday practicality. Beyond the home, established gardens, fruit trees, planter boxes and broad stretches of lawn create a private and well-balanced setting, with the scale of the property and poolside environment offering a home that can comfortably adapt through every stage of family life. The long-term appeal of this location is clear, with in-zone Westburn School a short walk away, Ray Blank Park nearby, local shops within easy reach and the university only minutes from the door. Whether held as a university investment or occupied as a substantial family home, this is a property that offers scale, flexibility and proven performance in one of Ilam’s most consistently demanded locations.
