With 643m² approx of land and a substantial 235m² approx floor area, this exquisite four-bedroom, two-bathroom plus office Russley residence is built for modern households needing more than just extra bedrooms. You’ve got two levels to work with, a proper entertainer’s deck, and a layout that lets everyone in the family find their own corner without feeling miles apart.

The separate lounge is tucked away enough for movie nights or a quieter end to the day, with doors opening straight to the deck so it never feels cut off. The kitchen and dining zone is open, bright and easy to move through, with long bench space, generous cabinetry, a breakfast bar for hurried breakfasts and after-school chats, and wide windows that pull in garden outlooks. A heat pump here keeps the day-to-day comfortable, while the connection outside makes barbecues and summer dinners feel like the natural default.

The master bedroom is a genuine retreat, with its own heat pump, balcony access and an outlook over the garden. The remaining bedrooms are light, well-proportioned and flexible for children, guests or work-from-home use, while the bathrooms are arranged to keep mornings moving. A separate laundry with good shelving helps ease busy routines.

Outside, the deck is the hero. It’s broad, sun-washed, and partially covered beneath a pergola-style roof, so you can use it for long lunches, evening drinks, and family gatherings all year round. The lawn is flat and usable, framed by established planting and fencing for privacy, while the double garage and off-street parking keep the daily shuffle straightforward.

Russley is a favourite for families, with Russley School nearby and zoned for Riccarton High, parks, Jellie Park’s pools and gym, plus easy access to the airport, main routes and the city.

If you’ve been waiting for a family home with genuine breathing room in a well-connected part of Christchurch, Chelsea Palmer would love to show you through.
