That one small question from our three-year-old set a big plan in motion. When his grand garden dreams outgrew our section, we did what any slightly mad parents would do - secured a new home just days before Christmas and spent the holidays preparing this much-loved house for sale. Crazy? Maybe. Worth it? Absolutely.
This was our very first home, and we have loved it deeply for six years. Was it perfect when we bought it? No. Have we thoughtfully improved it? Yes. Has it been an incredible stepping stone into home ownership, meeting almost every need along the way? Without question. Would we buy it again as a first home? In a heartbeat.
The renovations have been completed for our own enjoyment, guided by an excellent Designer to add flair, warmth and distinction. Much of the hard work has been done, while still leaving scope for the next owners to add their own touch - or simply move in and enjoy from day one.
The location has been a standout. So good, in fact, that we're not moving far at all. This is one of Christchurch's fastest-regenerating suburbs, prized for its proximity to the Health Precinct, the city, and key arterial routes. Cycling to town is easy, storage is well catered for with a lined shed, and practical extras include a carport plus additional off-street parking.
What truly sets this home apart, though, is its charm. It's warm, welcoming, and full of character - a refreshing alternative to the "same-same" cookie-cutter homes. If you're a first-home buyer wanting something with soul, this is a must-see.
And while others hesitate, Addington continues to rise. Secure your place now, while capital growth is still firmly on the table.
