Originally constructed as a show home, 49 Vernon Drive is a residence that immediately stands apart. Designed to showcase quality, comfort, and functionality, it remains a shining example of why Lincoln continues to be one of Canterbury's most desirable places to live.
Positioned on a beautifully established 682m2 section, this post-earthquake home delivers the perfect balance of space, style, and practicality. From the moment you arrive, the handsome Hebel exterior, aggregate concrete driveway, manicured gardens, and welcoming street presence create a lasting first impression. Step inside and you'll discover a home that has been thoughtfully designed for modern family living, where every detail has been carefully considered.
Generously proportioned throughout, the dwelling offers approximately 248m2 of well-configured living space. The heart of the home is undoubtedly the kitchen, a place where family and friends naturally gather. Complete with ample bench space, quality storage solutions, and a highly functional scullery, it caters effortlessly to everyday living and larger occasions alike. The adjoining open-plan dining and family living area creates a warm and inviting hub, while the separate lounge provides valuable flexibility for entertaining, relaxing, or escaping with a good book at the end of the day.
Accommodation is equally impressive. Four genuine bedrooms ensure room for growing families, guests, or those working from home. The master suite enjoys the privacy of its own ensuite, while the remaining bedrooms are well serviced by a spacious family bathroom. The inclusion of three toilets further enhances convenience for busy households.
Comfort has been prioritised in every season. A ducted heat pump system provides efficient heating and cooling throughout the home, ensuring a pleasant environment year-round. Gas hot water and solar power generation contribute to the home's efficiency, while additional heating options offer further flexibility when required.
Storage is often overlooked in modern homes, but not here. A substantial walk-in storage cupboard, designated laundry area, excellent cabinetry, and internal access double garaging provide practical solutions for everyday family life. Ample off-street parking ensures there is space for additional vehicles, trailers, boats etc.
Outside, the home truly comes into its own. Established gardens frame the property, creating a peaceful and private environment that feels worlds away from the pace of modern life. The expansive deck is perfectly positioned to capture the sun and serves as a natural extension of the living areas. Whether hosting summer barbecues, enjoying family celebrations, or simply unwinding with a morning coffee, this outdoor space is destined to become a favourite gathering place.
Location has always been one of Lincoln's strongest attributes, and Vernon Drive is no exception. Families will appreciate the proximity to excellent educational facilities, while parks, reserves, walkways, and cycleways are all nearby. Lincoln's thriving township continues to evolve and offers an enviable array of amenities including supermarkets, cafés, restaurants, recreational facilities, a gymnasium, and the renowned Lincoln University. Everything you need is close at hand, allowing you to spend less time commuting and more time enjoying life.
The current owners have thoroughly enjoyed their years here. They have nurtured the gardens, embraced the lifestyle, and created countless memories within these walls. However, a new chapter now awaits, and their motivation to move forward presents an exciting opportunity for the next fortunate owners.
Combining show home pedigree, quality construction, generous proportions, modern comforts, and an exceptional location, 49 Vernon Drive represents real estate with enduring appeal. It is a home that offers immediate enjoyment today while providing confidence for tomorrow. Opportunities of this caliber are always in demand, and discerning buyers will quickly recognise the value on offer.
