Description
Auction: Thursday 24 September 2026 at 11:00am (USP)
Positioned in one of Christchurch's most sought-after educational and residential enclaves, this exceptional property offers a rare combination of prime location, generous landholding, versatile living, and future potential.
Set on a substantial 741sqm freehold corner section, the home sits just moments from the University of Canterbury - an enviable base for families, students, professionals, and investors alike. Westfield Riccarton, the CBD, and a full range of amenities are all within easy reach, placing convenience at your doorstep.
Inside, the 232sqm home is thoughtfully designed for comfortable family living. The open-plan kitchen, dining, and living area features soaring ceilings, abundant natural light, and seamless indoor-outdoor flow. Full-height stacking sliders open onto the front decking and landscaped gardens, leading to an impressive 40sqm+ swimming pool - where crystal-clear water mirrors the surrounding greenery and blue Canterbury sky, creating a spectacular setting for summer entertaining or quiet relaxation.
The home offers three bedrooms, three bathrooms, and three toilets across two levels. Upstairs, the master suite featuring soaring ceilings, a generous walk-in robe, tiled ensuite, and private balcony overlooking the gardens. Another bedroom and a study provides additional flexibility. Downstairs, a further bedroom features a walk-in robe and ensuite, with sliding doors opening directly to the pool and garden. A spacious family bathroom with a spa bath. Separate laundry, and double internal-access garage (9.7m x 6m approx), ample off street parking secured by electric gate complete the layout.
Designed for year-round comfort, the home features double glazing to most areas, heat pumps, and underfloor heating in the master bedroom. The in-ground swimming pool is solar-heated, and two separate hot water cylinders service the upper and lower levels for added efficiency.
The location is particularly compelling - adjacent to the University of Canterbury, with a seamless education pathway from primary schools such as Westburn School and Avonhead School, through to secondary schools including Riccarton High, Villa Maria College, and on to university. The freehold TC1 site, corner positioning, double frontage with widths of 18.8m and 28.8m, and Medium Density Residential Zone (MDRZ) status also offer future development potential (subject to council approval).
Whether you seek a beautiful family home, a strategic investment, student accommodation, or a property with future upside, this is an exceptional opportunity in a tightly held Ilam location.
