201 Purau Avenue, Purau, Banks Peninsula, Canterbury

This beautifully presented home offers a rare combination of coastal calm, sun-filled living and everyday comfort and is ideal for families, holiday-makers or anyone seeking a relaxed coastal lifestyle.

Entry at the ground floor opens into a generous living room where large picture windows frame sweeping views across Purau Bay and the surrounding hills. Natural light pours in throughout the day, while a freestanding wood burner offers warmth during cooler months. From here, doors extend the space outdoors to a timber deck, perfect for morning coffees, evening drinks or simply soaking in the ever-changing outlook. The kitchen features modern cabinetry, tiled splashbacks and ample bench space, with a wide window overlooking lush greenery, while the dining room is well positioned for shared meals with a view. A generous double bedroom, the family bathroom that includes a toilet, shower and freestanding bathtub, a separate WC, and a dedicated laundry complete the floor.

On the first floor, the master bedroom enjoys leafy outlooks, excellent storage including a walk-in wardrobe and ensuite. The lower ground floor adds impressive flexibility, featuring an additional bedroom and a spacious recreation room, both opening directly to a covered deck and patio. This level is ideal as a guest suite, teenage zone, home office or second living space.

Outdoors, the grounds are lush and well established, with level lawn, winding brick pathways and space for kayaks, paddleboards or garden projects. A garden shed provides storage, while the sheltered decks and patio create multiple options for relaxed outdoor living throughout the seasons.

This location captures the essence of coastal living, while still just a short, scenic drive from the city or easy access to the ferry for a quick trip across to Lyttelton. With seaside charm, local cafes, library, medical centre, supermarket and so much more, every day here feels like a getaway.
