Overview

Huge New York-Style Heritage Loft

Properties like this are almost impossible to find in Christchurch. Offering almost 200sqm across four levels, this remarkable heritage property brings the feel of a New York loft to the heart of the Central City. Raw industrial character, soaring architectural height and flexible living spaces create a home that feels completely removed from the conventional. Set within one of the city's most distinctive heritage complexes, brickwork, industrial detailing, balconies and an upper mezzanine give the property a genuine loft-style feel and a strong sense of individuality. For those who want to live differently, the versatility is exceptional. The mixed-use nature of the property creates options well beyond a traditional home. The ground floor could operate as a consulting room, studio, creative space, office or boutique commercial premises, while also offering potential additional accommodation. For professionals, business owners, investors or those wanting to combine work and home, the flexibility is difficult to replicate. Above, the residence unfolds across multiple levels with three established bedrooms, generous living spaces and an impressive upper mezzanine. Additional areas could easily serve as further bedrooms, offices, studios or creative spaces depending on your needs. Equally compelling as an inner-city home, Airbnb, investment or live-and-work property, this is real estate that offers its next owner genuine long-term flexibility. Property Features: • Distinctive New York loft-inspired interior • Heritage and industrial character throughout • Mixed-use zoning with residential and commercial flexibility • Ground-floor space suited to an office, consulting room, studio or boutique business • Three established bedrooms • Potential fourth bedroom or additional accommodation downstairs • Upper mezzanine with potential as a fifth bedroom, office, studio or retreat • Multiple living and working zones • Three toilets • Two balconies • Two exclusive off-street car parks, including a single garage and carport • Potential as an owner-occupied home, Airbnb or investment • Exceptional work-from-home potential An Inner-City Pocket With Its Own Identity Positioned within Christchurch's sought-after Four Aves, this section of Chester Street has a character all of its own. Heritage buildings, brickwork and industrial architecture give the neighbourhood a distinctive inner-city feel that is increasingly hard to find. Pomeroy's Pub is virtually next door, Margaret Mahy Playground is an easy stroll away, and One NZ Stadium at Te Kaha is within walking distance. The CBD, restaurants, cafes and some of the city's biggest new developments are all close at hand.
