There is a certain feeling you get when you step into a true 1910s villa, and 127 Tancred Street captures it beautifully. Set back from the road on one of Linwood's most character-filled stretches, this is a home that proudly wears its history - from the soaring ceilings, chandeliers and original fireplaces to the brass door fittings and period light features that speak to another era of Christchurch living.
This part of Tancred Street remains a rare pocket of the city where many of the original villas still stand, built during a time when Christchurch professionals and families made their homes here. Quiet and established, the neighbourhood retains a warmth and sense of community that is increasingly hard to find so close to the central city.
Combined with off-street parking, a fully fenced section and the home's private position set back from the street, the property offers both character and practicality in equal measure.
Thoughtfully updated over time, the home includes a renovated kitchen, heat pump, separate laundry, raised vegetable beds and even a chicken coop providing fresh eggs - creating a lifestyle that blends heritage charm with a touch of modern urban homesteading.
A short walk to Woodham Park offers an enviable extension of the backyard - complete with mature trees, an aviary, children's paddling pool and wide open green spaces.
The revitalised residential red zone has become one of Christchurch's most unique recreational spaces, with wide running and cycling trails, peaceful river walks, community gardens, weekend markets and a vibrant Saturday morning Parkrun culture followed by coffee at the local café. All of this, while still being within cycling distance of the CBD and walking distance to Christchurch's new stadium, creates a lifestyle that is uniquely Christchurch - where city living and green space sit side by side.
Don't wait and wonder - opportunities like this don't last. Secure your future and make this beautiful home yours on auction day!
