Presented to the market as a deceased estate, this much-loved 1970s townhouse is ready for its next chapter. It's tucked at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac among well-kept neighbours and zoned for some of Christchurch's most sought-after schools, so opportunities like this don't come along often.

The rear of two, built from permanent materials and set in a sun-drenched private garden, the home has been well cared for over the years. A smart modern kitchen and updated bathrooms give you a comfortable starting point, with plenty of scope to add your own touch, and your own value. Open-plan living and dining faces north to soak up the sun and sits at the heart of the home. It opens to the garden, a wonderfully warm tiled conservatory and the kitchen, where sleek white cabinetry, stainless-steel appliances, a gas cooktop, under-bench oven and generous storage keep things practical. A sliding door reveals a separate lounge that flows onto a sheltered veranda overlooking the manicured lawn. A ground-floor bedroom with its own ensuite is ideal for guests or those wanting single-level convenience. Upstairs, two further bedrooms share the main bathroom, and one enjoys its very own sunny balcony. Partially covered outdoor living downstairs means you can enjoy the garden whatever the weather. The beautifully landscaped garden offers privacy and plenty to enjoy, complete with a glasshouse for keen growers and a handy utility area. A single garage and carport provide secure parking and extra storage.

Zoned for Fendalton School, Cobham Intermediate, Burnside High, Christchurch Boys' High and Christchurch Girls' High. It's a 10-minute stroll to Fendalton Village's supermarket, cafés and eateries, with Fendalton Library and Jellie Park close by. Merivale, Riccarton, the airport and the CBD are all an easy drive. This is your chance to secure a home in a blue-ribbon pocket. Contact us today to arrange your inspection.
