Lovers of good design, this one’s for you. Sitting peacefully at the rear of a block of three on a quiet St Heliers street, this striking and spacious two-bedroom unit is a gorgeous example of mid-century modern; designed to endure by lauded architect Neville Price, built to last and beautifully refreshed for modern living.

The exterior is distinctly 1960s, featuring solid concrete block construction (freshly painted) and walls of full-height windows that let light pour in. When you step through the zen-like, fully enclosed north-facing courtyard (this is a wonderfully private alfresco space akin to an extra room), you’ll fall in love with the stylish sanctuary inside.

A striking windowed hallway and entrance create a gallery-like transition between the living and sleeping zones — a clever architectural detail adding natural light and drama.

Crisp white walls and gorgeous board-and-batten ceilings with exposed beams form a timeless base, while the architect-owner’s thoughtful updates bring a fresh and contemporary edge. SPC plank flooring complements new carpet, the sleek white kitchen and open-plan layout are perfect for entertaining, and the brand-new bathroom is a luxurious touch. You’ll appreciate:

• A private-use rear lawn
• Garden shed for extra storage
• Off-street parking
• Easy access to transport, Eastridge shopping and the beaches and cafes of Kohi and St Heliers

Whether you’re a downsizer, seasoned investor, taking your first step or an architecture buff seeking a home with heart - this one is special. And its zoning for St Thomas’ School and Selwyn College makes it an appealing option for a small family too.

Welcome to timeless design and effortless living, in a great St Heliers location.
