Deadline Sale: all offers to be presented by 1:00 pm, Wednesday 22 April 2026 (unless sold prior)

Welcome to 21 Defoe Place, a private retreat positioned at the end of a leafy cul-de-sac. Set on a rare 548sqm of Residential Medium Density (RMD) land, this character home offers an exciting blend of charm, warmth, and opportunity - ideal whether you're stepping onto the property ladder, wanting to restore a character home, or exploring development potential.

Step inside to find a surprisingly spacious open-plan layout that feels instantly welcoming. A woodfire and heat pump provide year-round comfort, while the enclosed back porch opens to a sun-soaked backyard framed by mature plantings. The sizeable double garage with independent doors offers excellent storage, workshop space, or room for future projects.

The home presents a fantastic canvas for those who appreciate character and want to enhance it further. With scope to refresh, modernise, and add value, this is an opportunity to tailor a classic home to your taste. At the same time, the flat section and desirable RMD zoning create attractive prospects for future redevelopment in a location where land is becoming increasingly scarce.

Convenience is a major highlight here. You're just a short walk from The Colombo Mall, supermarkets, cafés, bars, and boutique shopping. The property is also well-connected to major transport routes, making city access incredibly easy.

Adding even more appeal, the home sits within proximity to Christchurch's major new infrastructure investment - One NZ Stadium - which is expected to boost surrounding suburbs, hospitality, and central city vibrancy.

Whether you're dreaming of restoring a character home, searching for a project with strong upside, or looking to secure an RMD site in a rapidly growing location, 21 Defoe Place is an opportunity not to be missed.
