After nearly 23 years, the time has come for a changing of the guard and for the current owner to say goodbye and move forward with new and exciting plans for 2026. So what will you look to do here at 180 Matsons Avenue, situated in one of the most popular suburbs of Christchurch, Papanui.

Set on a generous 799m² section, sits a classic Papanui opportunity that blends character charm with genuine upside. With four bedrooms, one bathroom, studio and a double garage, this is the kind of property that works for families wanting room to grow and investors chasing a strong long-term rental hold. It might also attract buyers that are looking for land for their next project as it sits within the Christchurch City District plan and is currently zoned as HRZ (High residential zone) land.

But lets focus on this wonderful home. Inside, you'll appreciate the warmth of polished timber flooring, a welcoming lounge complete with gas fire, and a well-made kitchen that supports easy everyday living. The home has great flow and "good bones" - comfortable as-is, yet perfectly suited for a renovation project that could add significant value over time.

Outside, the established, well-kept garden creates a private, family-friendly setting - and with the size of the land, there's also exciting scope to explore future enhancement or extension potential.

Completing all of this is the location. Local transport is just down the road. St James Avenue park is just around the corner combined with local shops, cafes, what more could one possibly want, except to say the educational opportunities here are fabulous.

This is a smart buy for those who see the potential - a character home, a rewarding project, or a long term hold in a proven location. A must to view as it is time for the new guard!
