Built in 2016, designed with all the charm of a classic cottage, 69 Oxford Street is a warm, rare find behind a classic white picket fence, on one of Lyttelton's most character filled streets. This one bedroom, one bathroom home with a loft has everything you love about a cottage and none of the upkeep.
With just 50m² of living space on a 197m² section, this is a little home with a big heart. It's small on purpose, a simple, low maintenance way to live that leaves you free for the things that matter to you, and it's within reach for buyers who want to be part of Lyttelton.
Push open the French doors and you're straight onto your own veranda, the kind you'll actually use, rain or shine, whilst hearing the native birds sing. Inside, the living and kitchen space opens right up under a soaring, exposed rafter ceiling that makes this little home feel twice its size. And the kitchen? Solid timber cabinetry, a Belfast sink you could bathe a toddler in, dark stone benches and a freestanding gas range. This is a kitchen for those who love to cook.
Climb the timber ladder and you're in the loft. Call it a guest nook, a reading hideaway, or just the best storage you've ever had.
Your bedroom gets its own French doors out to a private, tucked away deck (hello, morning coffee spot), and your bathroom is fully tiled.
Lyttelton isn't just a place to live. It's a community. A blend of historic charm, artistic culture, and coastal living, where people choose the slower, more connected lifestyle over the city rush: morning coffee on London Street, fresh produce from the weekend farmers market, harbour walks, evenings at local eateries and live music venues. And when you need the city, it's just a quick 10 or 15 minute drive via the tunnel to the heart of Christchurch.
First home, downsizer, or lock up and leave, a holiday home or rental. This is an opportunity that does not come around every day in sought after Lyttelton. If it's calling to you, come and see it for yourself.
