Modernised 60's Classic

Step into this classic 60's home, where mid-century design meets modern comfort, offering both intrigue and privacy behind a gated entrance. The architecture of the era is unmistakable, with the bold lines and simple forms that define the mid-century aesthetic. The vaulted ceilings in the living, kitchen, and dining areas create a sense of space and openness, characteristic of 60's design, where form followed function, and every element felt intentional. Large windows allow natural light to flood the home, enhancing the connection between indoor and outdoor living, a hallmark of this architectural period. The clean, angular lines and open layout not only invite a flow between rooms but also bring a certain timelessness to the space. A separate study and laundry complement the overall practicality of the design. Updates including the roof, insulation in the ceiling and under the floor, a log fire, two heat pumps, and some double glazing, have brought this mid-century gem into the modern day, ensuring year-round comfort while preserving its original character. Outside, the spacious section mirrors the mid-century preference for ample outdoor space, perfect for children, pets, or cultivating your own garden oasis. Situated within walking distance to Russley Primary, Avonhead Park, and various local amenities, this property is also zoned for Riccarton High, St. Thomas's, and Villa Maria schools. With convenient access to public transport and an easy commute to the city and airport, Russley continues to be a popular area.
