Substantial in size and exceptional in setting, this 1,396sqm property leads with its land, location, and long-term potential.

With dual access and Medium Density Residential zoning, it opens the door to multi-unit development, subject to council approval.

As it stands, this late-1930s weatherboard home is liveable but offered strictly on an “as is, where is” basis, where original finishes remain, and the opportunity to enhance is clear. Insured, yet holding unrepaired earthquake damage, borer damage, and with a roof due for replacement, the scale of improvement by repair could be extensive but rewarding.

Covering 280sqm, the layout is expansive and adaptable, offering up to five bedrooms, multiple living zones and practical utility spaces, with several rooms able to shift between bedroom, study or additional living as required. Partial double glazing is an advantage, supported by a heat pump and wood burner to secure comfort.

Within the well-maintained grounds is a detached double garage and a swimming pool, providing an appealing foundation for family life; however, the standout proposition lies with investors, builders, and developers ready to unlock its full potential.

Positioned less than 200 metres from Medbury and Canterbury University, this address also claims premium school zones, including CBHS and CGHS. Beyond its education-leading location, this exceptionally well-connected pocket of the city has direct routes to the airport and CBD, cementing its long-term desirability with buyers across the board.

Defined by position and possibility, this property will attract those with an eye for strategic gain in a part of the city where demand is consistently strong.
