9 Hawkhurst Road, Lyttelton, Banks Peninsula, Canterbury

Harbour light, hillside character and a genuine sense of elevation define this three-bedroom Lyttelton home, offered for sale on an as-is, where-is basis. Set on a 352m² section with a 120m² floor plan, this two-storey home includes one bathroom, an additional upstairs toilet, a garage and off-street parking. Presenting an exciting opportunity in one of Lyttelton’s sought-after hillside locations.

Full of charm, the home features leadlight windows, timber panelling and traditional sash windows, while thoughtful updates over the years include an updated kitchen, newer carpet and a second-storey addition completed in the 1990s with partial double glazing.

The lounge features a timber ornate fireplace, generous sash windows and a decorative stained-glass front door, while the kitchen and dining remain connected for practical everyday living.

Upstairs, the loft-style main bedroom features exposed beams, a pitched ceiling, dormer walk-in wardrobe and French doors capturing leafy outlooks and views across the port. There is exciting potential to further enhance the space with a future deck to soak in the afternoon sun and harbour views.

A standout feature is the enclosed verandah or sunroom, wrapped in windows and perfectly positioned for morning coffee, a quiet read or simply taking in the ever-changing harbour landscape.

Outside, the covered entertaining area offers scope to create seamless indoor-outdoor flow from the dining space and add further value over time.

Located close to Lyttelton Primary School, cafés, the Saturday Farmers Market and local walking tracks. This home combines character, lifestyle and potential in a vibrant community.

Bursting with opportunity, this property is seriously for sale, with the owner committed to downsizing and retirement. All offers to be presented by 4pm, Thursday 25 June (unless sold prior).

Buyers are encouraged to complete their own due diligence regarding the property and any associated repairs or remediation.
