THE FLUFF:
You've spent months scrolling through property listings and walking through open homes that just didn't quite feel right. They were too dark, too dated, too drafty. But as you step through the front door of the freshly renovated brick unit, something shifts. The light. The air. The sense of cosiness.

You make your way into the newly renovated, modern kitchen, running your finger along the sleek cabinetry and taking in the sparkling appliances. Your eyes scan the ample bench space, where you can spread out on Sunday or plan for weekday chaos.
Sun streams through the sliding doors, spilling onto the private north-facing deck. Your mind slips into pictures, drinks on the deck, laughter, and a dog curled in the corner. Leave the landscaping as is for fresh low maintenance outdoor space, or add planting of choice to create your own private outdoor oasis.

Three bedrooms mean options: a nursery someday, a guest room for parents or flatmates, or the perfect setup for working from home. The fully renovated bathroom is a first-home buyer's dream, it's all clean lines and contemporary finishes. You let out a relieved exhale, glad that you can move right in and don't have to stress about anything, but there is still room to add value.

You love the location. Riccarton Mall is just a few blocks away, university life is buzzing nearby, and zoning for Christchurch Girls' and Christchurch Boys' High adds future-proofing without even trying. A short stroll to the bus or a leisurely bike ride into the city, this property is perfectly positioned for convenience.

As you stand in the living room on your first night, pizza boxes on the bench, keys on the counter, you grin. It is the perfect first home.
