3 Deans Avenue, Christchurch

Quietly positioned at the end of a sought-after cul-de-sac, this exceptional family home delivers space, privacy and lifestyle on a scale rarely found so close to town. Set on a generous 5,211sqm (approx.) section, the modern 377sqm (approx.) residence has been lovingly enjoyed by the current vendors for the past seven years and is now offered for sale as they relocate.

Designed for families who want room to move, the heart of the home is the expansive open-plan kitchen, living and dining area - a welcoming space perfect for everyday living and effortless entertaining. Large sliding doors create seamless indoor-outdoor flow to the sunny deck and expansive lawn beyond. The kitchen is a true standout, featuring a substantial stone island bench with breakfast bar, abundant storage, stone benches, a walk-in pantry and the added bonus of a gas hob, making it ideal for those who love to cook and entertain.

A second, separate lounge provides a quiet retreat for movie nights or a space for teenagers to relax, while a dedicated home office positioned off the entranceway is perfect for working from home or study.

Accommodation is generous, with six well-proportioned bedrooms, all fitted with built-in robes. The master bedroom enjoys the convenience of direct access to a Jack-and-Jill bathroom. Family living is well supported by three bathrooms in total, one being a shower and toilet located off the laundry for everyday practicality.

Comfort is assured year-round with full insulation, double glazing, a log burner with wetback feeding a radiator, two heat pumps and a heat transfer system, ensuring warmth, efficiency and ease of living.

Outdoor living is equally impressive. A large entertaining deck captures the sun beautifully and is complete with a shade sail, smart-wired speakers, a spa pool and pizza oven. Children will love the expansive lawn area with play equipment and an in-ground trampoline, while a robotic lawn mower keeps maintenance effortless (all of these chattels are included in the sale). There is also a small fenced paddock beyond the lawn area.

Those needing serious shedding and storage will be well catered for, with multiple sheds suitable for tools, hobbies, caravans or boats in the concreted backyard, one shed with three phase power, one with caravan plugs plus an internal access double garage with EV charging and excellent off-street parking.

All of this is just a short walk to Leeston township, with shops, cafes and local amenities close at hand. Schooling is provided for by Leeston Primary School and Ellesmere College, which are both within walking distance.

A truly special property where space, comfort and convenience come together in perfect harmony.
