Opportunities like this land well when you can see the shape, the setting and the upside straight away. Held by the same owner for 26 years and now offered as they move into aged care, this multi-level Riccarton townhouse gives you a 100m² floor plan, two bedrooms, one bathroom, an internal garage and the do-up potential that lets you add value in your own way.

The main living level already has the ingredients that matter. Large sliding doors pull in the light and open to a tiled balcony, while the lounge and dining area feel open, relaxed and easy to reimagine. The kitchen is well laid out with generous bench space, good cabinetry and a leafy outlook, and a separate toilet on this level adds everyday practicality.

Upstairs, the main bedroom has real presence with its pitched ceiling, built-in wardrobe and doors opening to a Juliet-style balcony above the treetops. The second bedroom is well proportioned with its own distinctive arched window, while the bathroom includes a shower, vanity and good natural light. Downstairs, the garage and utility area give you useful storage, laundry space and a solid base for daily routines.

Outdoor living is simple, private and easy-care. The balcony off the lounge is a great spot for a morning coffee, and the fully fenced paved courtyard at ground level gives you a sheltered area for plants, a barbecue or a seat in the sun. With the internal garage and shared forecourt, the practical side is well covered too.

Riccarton keeps daily life well connected, with Westfield Riccarton’s shopping and dining within easy reach, Hagley Park and its wide open spaces handy for walks and weekend time outdoors, and the University of Canterbury nearby for study or work. The city is an easy commute from here, which adds even more appeal to a townhouse you can truly make your own.
