Prepare to fall in love before you even step inside. Framed by beautifully established gardens, showcasing heritage colours and offering irresistible street appeal, this exceptional character home has the presence, warmth and unmistakable X-factor that will make coming home feel special every single day.
Lovingly maintained by its current owners for more than three decades, the home has been beautifully preserved while thoughtfully enhanced for modern living. Its enviable coastal location places the beach within easy reach, while flourishing gardens offer a rewarding grow-and-eat lifestyle. Raised vegetable beds, established fruit trees and a dedicated potting shed invite you to harvest fresh produce from your own backyard and enjoy the satisfaction of knowing exactly where your food comes from.
Step inside and the home's exceptional craftsmanship immediately takes centre stage. Stunning native timbers, rich wood panelling, high-stud ceilings and exquisite original leadlight windows evoke the timeless elegance of a bygone era, while an ornate fireplace surround adds a romantic focal point to the master bedroom. Warm, welcoming and steeped in history, every detail tells a story and creates an unmistakable sense of home.
At its heart, the modern kitchen delivers generous storage and abundant bench space, flowing effortlessly into the open-plan dining area. Designed for easy family living and relaxed entertaining, this inviting hub connects naturally with the spacious lounge, where the glow of the wood fire promises cosy winter evenings, memorable conversations and precious time together.
Bathed in natural light, the sunroom (or fourth bedroom) is a peaceful retreat overlooking the picturesque front gardens. Whether enjoyed as a sunny spot for morning coffee, an inspiring home office or a quiet reading nook, it is a space you will treasure throughout the seasons. Three generously proportioned bedrooms, each enjoying soothing garden outlooks, continue the home's welcoming character, complemented by a practical bathroom, separate laundry and the convenience of a separate toilet.
Outside, the fully fenced section provides privacy, peace of mind and a secure haven for children and pets. The private, sheltered rear courtyard is made for long alfresco lunches, summer barbecues and relaxed evenings with friends, while a single garage and additional off-street parking add everyday practicality.
And then there is the lifestyle. Just moments from the shoreline, your days can begin with beach walks and end with sunset strolls. Enjoy weekend surfs, visits to the iconic New Brighton Pier and restorative soaks at He Puna Taimoana, with the New Brighton Library, Whale Park playground and Rawhiti Domain also close at hand. Local cafes, Southpaw Brewery, The North Beach Beer Garden and essential shopping are all nearby, while sought-after school zoning includes Shirley Boys' High School, Avonside Girls' High School, Rawhiti School and New Brighton Catholic School.
Rich in character, immaculate in presentation and treasured for more than 30 years, this is far more than a home - it is a rare piece of New Brighton history waiting for its next chapter. Homes with this much heart, heritage and lifestyle appeal are tightly held for a reason. Once you experience it, you will understand why - and you will not want to let it go.
Auction: To be held from 11am, 5th November 2026 at Ray White City Office, 76 Hereford Street, City Centre, Christchurch (unless sold prior)
