Tucked away in a private, beautifully established setting, 12 Selwyn Road is a thoughtfully designed family home that perfectly balances seclusion with sweeping Lyttelton Harbour views. Built in the early 2000s, the home carries subtle mid-century influences and has been carefully planned to maximise space and connection to the outdoors.
The open-plan kitchen, dining and lounge form the heart of the home - spacious and designed for easy living. From here, doors open seamlessly to a sunny deck, creating excellent indoor/outdoor flow for entertaining or relaxing while taking in the outlook. A log burner, heat pump and gas heating provide warmth and comfort year-round.
Accommodation includes three generous double bedrooms (all with robes), including a main bedroom with ensuite, plus a dedicated and spacious study. Uniquely, the main bedroom and ensuite are set on their own level, complete with a separate lounge and entrance - ideal for working from home, extended family, a teenager or parental retreat, or potential extra income.
Native gardens, vegetable plots and mature planting surround the home, offering exceptional privacy and a peaceful setting. Additional features include a separate studio, workshop, off-street car parking, separate laundry, guest toilet, and a main bathroom with both shower and a separate bath.
Versatile, private and full of character, this is a home that adapts beautifully to changing needs in a sought-after Lyttelton location. A special property not to be missed.
