Oozing mid-century charm in a truly special setting, this Henning-Hansen home is a rare opportunity to own a unique piece of Christchurch history. On the market for the first time in 31 years, it is a property that needs to be experienced in person to be fully appreciated.

Set on just over 1000m² beside a quiet Waimairi River off-shoot, the grounds feel more like a private botanical garden. Established planting provides year-round colour, texture and privacy, creating a backdrop that changes beautifully with the seasons.

Inside, the home remains largely original and full of the design features that define the era. Exposed rafters trace the cathedral ceiling, a striking mid-century fire surround anchors the living space, and solid concrete block construction gives the home a reassuring sense of permanence.

The primary suite is tucked away toward the rear of the home and is exceptionally generous in size. A fully tiled shower, separate toilet and ample room for storage and furniture make this a restful and private retreat. Two further bedrooms share a family bathroom, with a separate guest toilet ensuring daily convenience.

This is a home with soul, presence and a setting that is simply unmatched, with an unbelievably large amount of upside and an opportunity to own something truly unique.
