Property details

Listing # ARZ15946 | Listed on 26 February

To be sold by auction 2:30pm, 25 March 2026 onsite (unless sold prior).

Tucked away on a generous 1,082m² section in the heart of Avonhead, this substantial approx. 300m² residence delivers the ultimate combination of scale, flexibility, & effortless family living.

Double glazed & thoughtfully designed with multiple living zones, the home offers 4 double bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, plus a powder room for added convenience.

The main living area is a true architectural highlight. High angled ceilings & exposed beams create drama & character, while natural light pours in year-round. A log burner & heat pump enhance the warm & welcoming atmosphere.

This is a home that feels inviting, open & wonderfully spacious, while still retaining that essential sense of privacy. Generous proportions never overwhelm — instead, they create room to breathe, gather, & retreat.

The expansive kitchen anchors the home beautifully, offering abundant storage, extensive bench space, & plenty of room for everyone to come together. The bedrooms are positioned at one end of the home, creating a dedicated family wing. The master suite enjoys a walk-in robe, ensuite, and direct access to the deck.

Upstairs, a large open living area provides exceptional flexibility — perfect as a games room or teen retreat.

A north-facing wraparound deck flows effortlessly from the main living area, creating seamless indoor-outdoor connection & all-day sun. Established easy-care plantings & a thriving vegetable garden complete the outdoor setting.

Ample off-street parking easily accommodates caravans, teenage cars, & visitors.

Superbly positioned near Avonhead Mall, with Merrin School just across the road, zoned for Burnside High School, & an easy commute to the University of Canterbury, the location is as compelling as the home itself.

Properties of this size, versatility, & presence are rarely available. Ideally suited to large or blended families, or savvy investors who recognise the long-term value on offer.
