22 Simeon Quay,
Lyttelton, Christchurch City

This is your chance to secure a slice of Lyttelton history and experience the charm and warmth of this fabulous 19th century family homestead, set amongst some well-known historic homes. This period residence, with its double-hung sash windows and kauri timberwork, is timeless in design and offers exceptional views over the harbour and Te Ana Marina, both just a short stroll away. You are right on the doorstep of some exceptional coastal walks and hillside tracks.
Arranged across two floors, the layout is practical and includes open plan kitchen and dining, leading into a cosy living space with a wood burner on the ground floor, complemented by 2 good-sized bedrooms and a modern bathroom. A further bedroom with commanding harbour views, a second bathroom and a study with open access to extensive terraced gardens are located upstairs. The unique layout provides for highly flexible working, entertaining, and living spaces with a seamless indoor/outdoor flow. A single lockup garage completes all the "I wants".
Timber floors, stripped panel doors, leadlight windows, the charming veranda and the home's high ceilings all serve as elegant reminders of the past. While it has been extensively updated, due to the home's era it could naturally benefit from further upgrades, and buyers will appreciate that they can live incredibly comfortably while deciding how they might refresh the decor and ultimately add value to the property.
The location is a major plus, you are tucked away from the hustle and bustle of the Lyttelton village but only a short stroll from London Street with its bespoke shops, cafes and eateries, as well as comfortable walking distance to Lyttelton Primary School.
This property is well-recognised in the community and has been home to many locals, so if you wish to secure a distinctive slice of history, then you are advised to act quickly.
