A Fabulous Family Home in a Golden Location.

Family homes seldom come up for sale in College Avenue so to get one that was built post-earthquake, is a certified “Passive House Plus” and only moments to St Andrew’s College is a rare opportunity indeed.

This is a home that gives away little of its magic from the street, revealing its secrets only once you step inside. Offering four bedrooms and three bathrooms, its specifications only begin to tell the story of this beautifully considered, exceptionally well-built home.

Built and certified to rigorous Passive House Plus standards, the home’s insulated floor slab, 215mm SIP wall and roof panels, air-tight envelope, triple glazing, mechanical heat-recovery ventilation and a substantial solar PV system work together to deliver something quite remarkable: exceptional year-round comfort, fresh filtered air, outstanding energy efficiency and an extraordinarily quiet interior that will be a joy for you and your family to live in.

Enter through the front door and you will immediately notice the stunning Matai timber flooring and the calm, private and quiet interiors. There are plenty of walls for your favourite art. The main living room provides dining and relaxation zones, and the contemporary kitchen and walk in pantry sit at the heart of the living space, keeping cooking, dining and entertaining naturally connected. The second living room can be separated when required.

Plenty of doors open to the outdoor areas which include an Escea gas fire, louvre roof systems and a spa pool. The verdant lawn and gardens are splendid and promise colour and variety throughout the seasons.

Back inside, there is a spacious downstairs primary bedroom with a soaring ceiling, a walk-in robe, two further built-in robes and an ensuite. This bedroom has access to its own outdoor area.

Ascend the floating stair case to find three further bedrooms (all with built-ins) including the second primary suite and a family/third bathroom.

The Passive House design maintains a remarkably stable and comfortable indoor environment year-round, with air-conditioning available for additional heating or cooling when desired.

Generous garaging provides excellent storage, including attic storage, with additional off-street parking. There is a separate laundry and separate guest toilet.

Named College Avenue due to its proximity to the highly regarded St Andrew’s College (offering preschool through to high school) - the school run will be a breeze! This property is also zoned for Waimairi Primary School, Heaton Normal Intermediate, Christchurch Boy’s High and Christchurch Girls’ High.

A short walk to the vibrant Normans Road shops and eateries and easy access to Merivale, the city and the airport.

The Vendors have adored their time here in this quality home in the heart of Strowan however with their children having completed their studies and flown the nest – they are excited for new adventures themselves!

This home is immaculately presented and superbly located. Discerning purchasers will immediately appreciate that this sort of home is the exception and not the norm. Please do not delay in contacting Gerard for scheduled viewing times.

Deadline Sale closes at 12:00 noon on Monday, 14 September 2026 (unless sold prior).
