Set behind its gated entrance on a generous 822sqm family-sized section, this beautifully presented character home is one that truly reveals itself once you step inside. Offering exceptional space, superb outdoor living and a wonderfully flexible floorplan, it delivers the kind of family environment that is increasingly hard to find - all within the coveted Burnside High School Zone.
First impressions begin at the driveway, where extensive off-street parking provides an immediate sense of convenience. There is room for multiple vehicles, generous turning space and easy access to the substantial double garage, making everyday arrivals effortlessly practical.
Step inside and the home's impressive proportions begin to unfold. A welcoming front lounge provides the first of three living spaces -an ideal retreat for teenagers, a quiet reading room or simply somewhere to relax away from the main family hub. At the centre of the home, the expansive open-plan kitchen, dining and living area creates a wonderful sense of connection. The light filled kitchen is thoughtfully appointed with a breakfast bar and enjoys a lovely outlook across the driveway, while the adjoining living space opens beautifully to the outdoors.
This is where the home truly comes into its own. Bifold doors extend the living environment onto a sun-soaked, north-west-facing deck, complete with a louvred system providing shade and shelter when required. Designed for effortless outdoor entertaining, it is the perfect place for summer barbecues, morning coffee or relaxed evenings with family and friends. Beyond, the fully fenced backyard unfolds as an idyllic family haven, with a generous lawn, established gardens and a dedicated spa courtyard area providing plenty of space for children and pets to play freely. The seamless connection between the home and garden creates an exceptional outdoor lifestyle that can be enjoyed throughout all seasons.
Back inside, timber paneling brings warmth and character, complementing the home's inviting personality. A third living area adds yet another layer of flexibility, while two double bedrooms, including the well-appointed master, are positioned on the ground floor alongside a beautifully updated bathroom and laundry zone. Double glazing has been thoughtfully introduced throughout the ground floor...enhancing both comfort and efficiency.
Upstairs, two further generous bedrooms and a second bathroom provide excellent separation and space for the family to spread out. Each bedroom enjoys leafy outlooks across the surrounding neighbourhood, creating peaceful private retreats for children or guests.
Comfort has been carefully considered with two heat pumps, an HRV system, night-store heating and insulation, ensuring the home remains welcoming throughout the cooler months.
The substantial double garage offers considerably more than secure parking, with additional vehicle capacity and a highly appealing studio at the rear. Complete with generous bench space and extensive storage shelving, this versatile space is ideal as a home workspace, creative studio, hobby room or simply additional storage - a valuable bonus for a busy family.
Location completes the picture. Zoned for Burnside High School, Cobham Intermediate and Wairakei Primary School, the educational foundations are firmly in place for growing families. With shopping centres, bus stops and Christchurch Airport all conveniently accessible, everyday connections are equally well catered for.
Behind its character facade lies a modernised impressive family package of space, flexibility, exceptional outdoor living and genuine lifestyle appeal. A home to grow into, enjoy and cherish for years to come - and one that is very much worth stepping inside to appreciate.
