28 Cunningham Terrace, Lyttelton, Banks Peninsula, Canterbury

Built as an adorable workers cottage with fretwork across the front veranda, this late 1800s home could tell so many tales of lives well lived, here in Port. Today, this home presents an opportunity for enthusiastic buyers, to step onto the property ladder.

Lyttelton homes are much sought after, and the neighbourhood is renown for its strong community vibe. Located on Cunningham Terrace, this home provides an easy walk to the shops, restaurants, entertainment, library, Lyttelton Primary and within proximity to walking tracks, beaches and Te Ana Marina. Talk about location. Why buy a city home to look at a fence, when a 15min commute from Central Christchurch, provides views like this!

Internally the layout is highly functional. Semi open concept lounge, dining and kitchen. Two double bedrooms and an oversized sunroom is utlised as a third bedroom. The galley styled bathroom connects to the laundry, and out onto the large west facing entertainer’s deck. While completely liveable in its current form, the potential to add value here with simple decor changes (paint, carpet, drapes) is very real.

Externally the homeowner is in the process of replacing the front windows and some deferred maintenance to weatherboards. On the plus side, these changes have created an opportunity to enhance the street appeal. For those who can appreciate the home appears structurally sound, but requires a slice of 'can do' attitude - anything is possible.

If you’re tired of looking at homes with décor that isn't your style, odd design choices or low-grade improvements, and know you can achieve a better result - here’s your chance to design your home, your way. Experience the satisfaction of transforming a house into your first dream home; and bask in the pride that comes with creating a home that is uniquely yours.
