Tucked away on a generous 1081sqm section in the heart of Glentunnel, this is a home with genuine character and a layout that makes the most of its sunny garden setting. The distinctive curved roofline sets it apart from the moment you arrive, and inside, an arched feature window floods the living area with light while framing views out to the established gardens.
Three comfortable bedrooms with two doubles and a single offer flexible space for family, guests or a home office, with one bedroom and the living space opening out to decking and the wider grounds. The modern kitchen is a real highlight - crisp white cabinetry with quality soft-close drawers and doors, an induction cooktop and Fisher & Paykel appliances make everyday cooking a pleasure, while the tastefully updated bathroom matches the same fresh, contemporary feel. A handy boot and utility room keeps the muddy boots, coats and country clutter out of the way - exactly what you want for the semi rural living on offer.
Warmth and ambience come courtesy of a classic Pioneer wood burner alongside the heat pump, so the home stays cosy through the Canterbury winters and cool over summer.
Outside is where this property really comes into its own. The grounds are beautifully established - expansive level lawn, mature trees and thoughtfully planted gardens lovingly maintained over the years, with plenty of room for kids, pets, the family dog or a productive vegetable patch. For the practically minded, the property is exceptionally well set up: a self-contained workshop ideal for the hobbyist, tradesperson or home business, two garden sheds, a dedicated wood shed, and a carport for additional covered parking. Everything has its place here.
This is country living at its most appealing-a tight-knit village in the Canterbury foothills where life moves at a gentler pace, yet you are never far from what you need. With walking, biking, and open-space opportunities right on your doorstep, plus the Hororata Golf Course and Selwyn River just minutes away, outdoor recreation is always within reach, all complemented by the genuine rural friendliness of the Glentunnel community.
The location perfectly balances lifestyle with practical convenience. You are just moments away from an excellent local primary school, while Darfield is handy for all your shopping and service needs. When you need the city, Christchurch remains an easy and accessible commute.
Homes with this much character, space and lifestyle appeal are a rare find. Whether you're a growing family, downsizers seeking room to potter, or buyers chasing that slower country pace within easy reach of town, 4 Victoria Street deserves a place at the top of your list.
