About this property

Light filled townhouse. Stroll to river, Te Pae and central city.

The perfect base for your Christchurch Stay, located truly in the heart of the city. A sleek contemporary townhouse with the added bonus of a courtyard garden. Leave the car at home and simply step out the door - a vast array of eateries, shops and other amenities is just a short stroll away. Wander to the Avon river and follow the riverside walking trail to Te Pae, Oxford Terrace or further to the Botanic Gardens or the burgeoning Arts Precinct.

The north facing open-plan living is cleverly designed to bring the outdoors in. Large bifold doors can be pushed back to connect the securely fenced wraparound courtyard garden extending the living area and creating a superb sense of space. A gas fire lends ambience to the sitting area and overlooking the dining area is a beautiful high spec kitchen with a gas cooktop and stainless steel counter.

Upstairs, arranged along a light-filled gallery, are three double bedrooms, including a spacious master with WIR and tiled en suite plus a family bathroom with separate bath.

Off street parking is either inside the internal access garage (small cars only) or in front of the garage.

NB The open staircase makes this home unsuitable for babies, toddlers and the less mobile.

Wonderful home and location

Our group of six, which included two kids, thoroughly enjoyed our stay - the house was modern, clean, and comfortable. The house is warm and has a gas fireplace in the lounge which we really appreciated. The kitchen is great to cook in - spacious with high-end appliances and a six-burner cooktop and two ovens. The location is great - walkable to a Christchurch tram stop and Margaret Mahy Park. Highly recommend!

Modern, clean, walking distance to city center

Even though it was next to a busy street it was quieter than expected. Had everything we could need and we felt warmly welcomed when we arrived to the property. Use of garage was nice— it fit our Toyota hilander just fine. Nice walk to town to experience Christchurch. Thank you!
