29 Sturrocks Road, Casebrook, Christchurch City, Canterbury

In a market where the old needs a full reno and the new all looks the same, finding something that strikes the right balance is rare. But here it is! - Modernised, renovated, and recently extended, this 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom, 2-living home offers the best of both worlds with just the right amount of charm.

Step inside and you'll feel the difference. The spacious, light-filled kitchen anchors the home with its engineered stone benchtop (rumoured to cost a small fortune), flowing seamlessly into open-plan living and dining areas designed for connection and ease. Two north-facing living zones give everyone their space to unwind, while a family-favourite wood fire, heat pump and partial double glazing ensure comfort year-round.

The master suite? A total showstopper. Room for a Californian king, a walk-in robe, and a luxurious fully tiled ensuite straight out of a design magazine-complete with underfloor heating and an over-sized shower. The two additional double bedrooms come with built-in storage and are serviced by a central family bathroom with a full-size bathtub

Outside, the fully fenced section is both functional and low-maintenance, with spots for the kids to play, space for a spa, room for the toys-and yes, the vendors assure me this backyard is elite for tanning. Summer is sorted.

After lovingly transforming this home, my vendors' growing family means it's time to move on. Opportunities like this are few and far between-act fast before someone else snaps it up.
