The 1970s — one of the the best decades ever.
When homes were built to last, life felt simpler, and every house had its own personality and charm.
Well… here’s your chance to step back in time.
This much-loved 1978 Summerhill Stone home has been beautifully preserved in near-original condition, proudly showcasing its retro wallpaper, chrome fittings, classic kitchen and vintage bathroom. Sweet, nostalgic and full of character, it’s the kind of home that instantly makes you smile and one you genuinely won’t want to change.
Inside, the home offers three generous bedrooms, two featuring striking vaulted timber beam ceilings with high sky windows that fill the rooms with natural light. Built-in wardrobes provide excellent storage, while the sunroom creates the perfect reading nook, daybed space or welcoming entrance retreat.
The retro-style kitchen is packed with charm, complete with laminate and stainless-steel bench top, a pass-through breakfast bar and open-plan dining area — the true heart of the home where family and friends naturally gather. Ranch sliders open onto a covered deck for easy indoor-outdoor living. All that’s missing is the fondue pot.
Comfort is well catered for with a wood burner on wetback, heat pump and heat transfer system, while excellent storage throughout includes wide hallway cupboards, a rare coat closet near the sunroom entrance and a large linen cupboard. The separate laundry is conveniently positioned close to the clothesline and offers additional storage space as well.
Set well back from the road and privately positioned beside the church grounds, the property enjoys a peaceful setting with mature trees, established shrubs and lovely mountain views. Across from the golf course, the separate single garage also includes workshop space or room for the golf cart and clubs.
And then there’s the lifestyle. A friendly rural town where people still wave as you drive past, stop for a chat, and community truly matters. Enjoy nearby lakes, fishing, hiking and an easy drive to larger centres including Oamaru and Timaru. Even the doctors still do house calls.
Homes like this are incredibly rare — untouched, authentic and filled with heart. I can’t wait to show you through.
