Some homes need you to finish what someone else started. This isn't one of them.

Thoughtfully transformed from two adjoining flats into one practical, single-level home, 41 Major Hornbrook Road offers the kind of easy living that's becoming increasingly hard to find in Mount Pleasant.

With an elevated outlook and a generous 825m² section, there's a lot to like.

The transformation was extensive. Completed with building consent and structural engineering involvement, the work included new plaster cladding over a cavity system, a new long-run steel roof, new joinery, bathrooms, laundry and a detached garage. The council's final inspection was passed in June 2020.

Inside, 121m² of single-level living provides three generous bedrooms, including a main bedroom with its own ensuite, a family bathroom complete with bath, a separate laundry and heat pump heating.

It's a home that's easy to live in, with a practical layout that makes just as much sense for a growing family as it does for someone looking to simplify life without compromising on space.

Outside, the large hardwood deck with its glass balustrade is a real highlight. There's room for the outdoor table, a few friends and a long afternoon enjoying the outlook. The generous section offers easy-care gardens, lawn for the kids and plenty of breathing room.

A detached garage and ample off-street parking complete the picture.

Mount Pleasant has always been one of Christchurch's favourite hillside neighbourhoods. You're approximately 300 metres from Mount Pleasant School, with the village, McCormacks Bay, the estuary and Ferrymead all close by. Sumner Beach, the Port Hills walking tracks and the city are all within easy reach.

For downsizers, it's an opportunity to keep the neighbourhood, the views and the outdoor space while leaving the larger home and its upkeep behind. For families, it's a chance to establish themselves in a sought-after location with room to grow.

Easy living. Great views. No fuss.

Come and see for yourself.
