17 Sayers Crescent, Ilam, Christchurch City, Canterbury

How could you not fall in love with the classic English heritage look of this big, handsome gabled haven in the heart of Ilam? Promising sweet family memories forever, it is perfectly located on a large, fully fenced, low maintenance 639sqm site among other smart well-established homes in a lovely quiet street. The 270sqm (approx), 5-bedroom beauty offers the fantastic space and many great practical contemporary features a family desires.

The expansive, double glazed home was built in the 1980s and designed to bring the sun inside. Interiors are beautifully presented with living areas that extend on either side of the entry. Warmed by a heat pump, a large open-plan kitchen has a large scullery with loads of storage and bench space. It also provides convenient access to internal double garaging. Beyond the breakfast bar, a dining and sitting area open out to a patio. Relax and soak up the sun watching the children play on the sweeping lawn. A separate formal lounge also opens to the lawn.

While there are four generous bedrooms and a study nook upstairs, a further large bedroom, shower room plus separate toilet on the entry level is handy for guests. Enjoying views from upstairs, the master bedroom has a walk-in robe plus en-suite and the other bedrooms are serviced by a spacious family bathroom which includes a bath.

If you like to entertain, your visitors will appreciate the huge off-street parking area in front with space for 4 cars or even a boat or caravan. Next to Upper Riccarton Domain, this property is zoned for Avonhead School and Riccarton High, an easy stroll to the University of Canterbury, cafes and shopping malls. My Auckland owners are highly motivated to liquidate their Christchurch home and their instructions are clear. Make viewing your priority!
