Some homes capture the imagination the moment you arrive…and this is one of them.
Set back from the road, quietly behind classic white picket fencing and beautifully established gardens, this enchanting property feels like a private sanctuary, a place where the charm of a storybook setting meets the practicality of modern family living.
Positioned on an exceptional 1,668m2 of manicured grounds, mature trees, lush lawns and carefully tended hedging create a peaceful sense of seclusion that's increasingly rare this close to the heart of Papanui.
Inspired by the grace of traditional villas, the home was thoughtfully built in the 1990s with a nod to timeless architecture. Since then, it has been tastefully refreshed, ensuring the warmth and character remain while delivering the comfort and convenience expected of modern living.
Inside, the generous north facing living spaces unfold effortlessly. The open-plan kitchen and dining area forms the heart of the home, flowing naturally into the expansive lounge where large windows frame the garden outlook and invite the outdoors in.
Doors open to the verandah and surrounding grounds, creating beautiful indoor-outdoor connection, the perfect setting for relaxed entertaining, quiet mornings with coffee, or long summer evenings with friends.
A light-filled conservatory adds yet another place to retreat, offering year-round enjoyment of the garden setting.
Comfort is well considered, with ducted heating, double glazing and the ease of single-level living, creating a home that feels warm, welcoming and easy in every season.
Accommodation includes three generous double bedrooms, with the master enjoying tranquil garden views and its own ensuite, while a well-appointed family bathroom services the remainder of the home.
For those who value space and flexibility, this property truly delivers. There is excellent storage throughout, along with a double garage complete with a large studio with a separate toilet and dedicated storage room- all enhanced by the addition of a heat pump in both the studio and garage, making this space comfortable and usable year-round. Whether it's working from home, a creative studio, guest overflow or a retreat for teenagers, the options here are endless.
A separate single garage adds even more practicality, ideal for additional storage, hobbies or secure parking.
All of this is perfectly positioned just moments from Papanui's vibrant amenities, with excellent schooling nearby including Paparoa Primary, Heaton Intermediate, Papanui High, St Joseph's School, St Bede's College and Marian College, and easy access into the city.
Homes that deliver this level of space, privacy, versatility and classic charm - behind a white picket fence no less - are becoming increasingly rare.
And once you step through the gate, you may never want to leave.
Lets get you home!
