Our owners are officially over being landlords, offering you an entry-level opportunity in the loop!

Polished timber floors that tell a story, leadlight windows that catch the light just right, bay windows, timber paneling, and a fireplace that earns its place as the heart of the home.

A tastefully updated kitchen and bathroom. The result is a home that lives beautifully today without sacrificing an ounce of its original character.

The open-plan living area flows naturally out to a deck and easy-care garden. Three bedrooms, a practical laundry space, and a garage mean nothing has been compromised on the practical side either.

And then there's the street. Birdwood Avenue sits at the quiet end of the ever-popular Beckenham Loop - close to local shops, great walks, and some of the city's most sought-after schools, including Beckenham Primary, St Peter's, Hillview, and Thorrington, with zoning for Cashmere High. It's easy to see why Beckenham remains one of Christchurch's most loved pockets.

Character homes with this level of integrity don't come along often. When they do, they don't last.
