Set in a quiet cul-de-sac, this solid permanent material property presents a rare, highly versatile opportunity on a substantial 898sqm RSDT freehold section. Featuring two independent dwellings on one title, it offers an unbeatable entry point for first-home buyers, space for growing families, or a multi-option site for investors and developers.

The primary home is warm, practical and well suited for everyday family living, offering three bedrooms, a sunny separate lounge with log burner, and year-round comfort with a DVS system. The kitchen provides ample storage, while the bathroom includes both a bath and shower, complemented by a separate toilet and separate laundry. A new roof and hot water cylinder, both installed in 2023, add valuable peace of mind.

Outside, the established and fully fenced garden provides a private retreat, complete with raised veggie beds and a garden shed. Privately positioned to the rear, the self-contained one-bedroom unit adds another dimension to the property, ideal for extended family, guests, a home office or generating rental income to help offset the mortgage.

For first-home buyers, the opportunity to secure a property with an additional dwelling is compelling. For investors, the potential for dual income provides flexibility. And for developers and landbankers, the substantial 898sqm site, 15.25m street frontage and RSDT zoning provide an exciting platform for future development, (subject to council consent).

With a double garage, generous off-street parking already in place and both dwellings offering scope to add further value, this is a property where you can make the most of what is here today while considering what could be possible tomorrow.

Conveniently located just minutes from local shops, public transport and the vibrant Tannery hub, with an easy commute into Christchurch CBD, this location combines a quiet suburban setting with excellent everyday convenience.

Whether you're seeking your first home, a dual-yield investment, or a substantial development opportunity with holding income, this is a property with genuine potential that delivers on every front.
