Due to a recent change of circumstances, this much admired Lyttelton character home is once again available, offering buyers a rare opportunity to secure a property with genuine heritage and heart. Homes of this calibre seldom return to the market, and this one makes an immediate impression.
From the moment you step inside, the home feels warm, inviting, and full of personality. It offers four well sized bedrooms along with a separate lounge/office or optional fifth bedroom, providing excellent flexibility for families, guests, or those working from home. A bright, sun room adds valuable extra space, while the open plan kitchen, dining, and living area creates an easy, social hub ideal for everyday living and relaxed entertaining.
The front veranda, framed by the established gardens, provides a peaceful spot to take in the ever changing harbour activity below. Elevated and positioned to capture natural light throughout the day, the home enjoys a strong connection to its surroundings - a hallmark of Lyttelton living.
Although the next owner may wish to modernise, the potential here is unmistakable. Character features, elevation, harbour views, and a sought after location combine to create an exciting opportunity for those wanting to personalise and add value.
Practical elements further enhance the appeal, including off street parking, mature gardens, and multiple living areas that adapt easily to changing needs. For buyers drawn to charm, history, and possibility, this home represents a truly special find.
*Please note, the Lyttelton side (off Brittan Tce) is currently closed due to road works, please use the Corsair Bay side (Park Tce) to enter Cressy Terrace.
*Photos were taken late last year. Some small changes may have been made.
