Beautifully Enhanced. Built To Last.

There is something quietly special about a home that simply gets so much right. Solidly built, beautifully updated and wonderfully positioned, this Papanui classic offers the kind of easy, established living that is increasingly hard to find. With a generous 210m² floor area and a freehold section, there is space, substance and flexibility here for years to come.

Behind its timeless brick and tile exterior, the home opens into generous, light filled spaces with a lovely connection to the garden beyond. The kitchen is bright and practical, with excellent storage and plenty of room to make it your own, flowing naturally into the dining area. French doors open into a separate lounge, while a sunroom adds another layer of versatility, a peaceful spot to enjoy the morning sun, work from home or simply unwind. From here, ranch sliders lead outdoors to a sheltered terrace and an established, easy care garden that feels private and beautifully settled.

Two generous double bedrooms, both with built-in wardrobes, are thoughtfully positioned alongside the family bathroom, with one bedroom enjoying its own private toilet and an outlook to the garden, while a second separate toilet provides added convenience. The generous floor plan also presents scope to create a third bedroom, should your needs evolve over time. A separate laundry and an oversized double garage (with lots of storage) add the everyday practicality that makes this home so easy to live in.

But it is the combination of position and potential that makes this property particularly compelling. Zoned High Density Residential and sitting in one of Papanui's most convenient pockets, you're within easy reach of parks, public transport and Northlands, while Merivale and the CBD are only a short drive away. Families will appreciate the zoning for Paparoa Street School, Heaton Intermediate and Papanui High, with a number of highly regarded secondary schools also close by.

Beautifully refreshed without losing the character and substance of its original construction, this is a home with a genuine sense of permanence, equally appealing for those looking to settle in, simplify or make the most of its future potential. Our vendors are motivated, and opportunities like this in such a connected Papanui position deserve your attention.
