Sometimes the best discoveries are tucked quietly behind the drive. Here, in one of Ilam's most convenient pockets, you'll find a beautifully maintained late-1990s home with architectural flair, excellent proportions and a surprisingly private sense of sanctuary. Step inside and you'll immediately appreciate just how lovingly this home has been cared for. It remains in wonderfully pristine original condition - comfortable, stylish in its era and eminently liveable. And then there's the opportunity. For those with an eye for design, this is a chance to take an already appealing home and give it your own contemporary signature. A sophisticated refresh could lift it beautifully into the 2020s, creating something genuinely individual rather than another cookie-cutter renovation. Or simply move in, unpack and enjoy it exactly as it is. SUN, SPACE & SECLUSION The living is exceptionally well considered, with separate living areas oriented to capture the warmth of the north and west. Both open naturally to a delightful private courtyard and easy-care gardens - an inviting setting for morning coffee, long lunches with friends or effortless alfresco entertaining as the afternoon sun settles in. It's private without being secluded, established without being demanding THE HEART OF THE HOME The kitchen is practical, generous and perfectly positioned within the living environment - allowing the cook to remain part of the conversation while family and friends gather around. Both bedrooms are genuinely generous doubles. The main bedroom enjoys the luxury of its own ensuite and walk-in robe, while a well-appointed full family bathroom services the second bedroom and guests. And because everything is on one level, life here is wonderfully uncomplicated. LOCATION THAT DELIVERS This is where the address really earns its keep. Shopping, cafés and everyday conveniences are just a stroll away, including the Fendalton shopping precinct and New World Fendalton. For recreation, Jellie Park and Fendalton Park are close enough to make walking, cycling and spontaneous outdoor time part of everyday life. And for families, the address sits within a highly sought-after collection of school zones, including Christchurch Boys' High School, Christchurch Girls' High School, Burnside High School and Wairarapa Cobham Intermediate. The esteemed University of Canterbury is just a block away. DECISION IS MADE Our owner has made her decision and is heading towards her next adventure. She is committed to selling before Christmas. That makes the opportunity very real. A single-level Fendalton home. Beautifully maintained. Private, sunny and secure. Superbly located. Already very easy to love - with the potential to make it something even more special. Don't let this be the one that got away.
