Final Week! Heritage Elegance Meets Modern Ease

Step inside this beautifully transformed 1920s cottage to find a home that perfectly blends timeless character with modern comfort. Originally built in the early 20th century, the current owners underwent an extensive renovation and extension in 2015, resulting in a property that feels new while still honouring its heritage. The classic facade features Linea cladding and thermally broken double-glazed joinery, offering both style and practicality.

Inside, the home is immaculately presented, showcasing beautiful rimu flooring, leadlight windows, and elegant timber detailing. Every room exudes warmth and charm with the spacious open-plan living area flowing seamlessly to a generous deck - the perfect place to entertain or relax while enjoying the hillside and harbour views.

At the heart of the home lies a beautifully reimagined kitchen that displays granite benchtops, generous storage, and thoughtful detailing which bring character origins to the fore, while French doors open to a separate, private sheltered deck, the ideal spot to savour your morning coffee.

Upstairs, a dedicated primary suite provides a peaceful retreat, complete with a spacious ensuite featuring underfloor heating. Downstairs, a flexible office or fourth bedroom adds to the home's versatility, ideal for guests or as a work from home space. The main bathroom includes a feature clawfoot bath, adding a touch of old-world elegance, while a separate laundry and excellent under-stair storage ensure functionality is not forgotten.

Comfort is assisted by a log burner in the main living area and four heat pumps strategically placed throughout the home, with the added benefit of solar hot water heating adding to the overall appeal. Outside, the property continues to impress with a double garage and additional off-street parking, a rare find in Lyttelton. An established citrus orchard and a flat, easy-care lawn bring charm and practicality to this enduring home.

Our owners have truly cherished this home and created something truly special, but a new adventure awaits giving a new buyer a unique opportunity.
