Historic Character, Modern City Living!

A rare slice of Christchurch history has arrived on the market! Tucked elevated above the road, this character-filled early 1900s gem offers a blend of vintage charm, recently refreshed but with ability to add further upgrades, and prime location convenience. Having served as a cherished property for our overseas owners, the tough decision has been made to sell. Make no mistake: the vendors are highly motivated, and the hammer is set to fall on or before auction day.

Key Highlights & Features:

• Spacious Living & Home Office: Enjoy a light-filled, generous living room featuring a dedicated study nook-perfect for remote work, study, or creative hobbies.

• Sun-Drenched Decking: Step out onto the north-west facing deck, perfectly positioned to soak up afternoon sun, host family gatherings, or take in spectacular evening sunsets from your elevated vantage point.

• Generous Accommodation: Two spacious, comfortable bedrooms are serviced by a functional central family bathroom.

• Multi-Level Outdoor Potential: The backyard is a blank canvas awaiting your landscaping vision. Multi-tiered and full of potential, this space could easily be transformed into an urban oasis.

• Unbeatable Prime Location: Situated just on the outskirts of the Four Avenues, you are moments from the heart of the CBD, the new Te Kaha (One NZ Stadium), local cafes, and city amenities.

• An Opportunity Not to Be Missed: Whether you are looking for an affordable entry onto the property ladder, a character-filled city-fringe project, or a smart investment in a rapidly growing precinct, 498 Gloucester Street demands your immediate attention.
