47 Jollie Street, Linwood, Christchurch City, Canterbury

In a market where many first homes feel like a compromise, this one stands out for one simple reason: it gives you more. More land. More privacy. More potential. From its 626sqm freehold section to its solid 90sqm footprint and bonus double garage, you’ll find that coveted mix of practicality, add-value opportunity and comfort all in a city-fringe location that keeps life simple.

The open-plan living and dining area is light, warm and welcoming, with sliders opening to the front entry for easy connection to the outdoors. The kitchen sits alongside tidy, functional and ideal for daily routines, or ready for the buyer who sees the benefit in modernising to lift long-term appeal.

Three bedrooms offer flexibility for families, flatmates or work-from-home needs. The bathroom includes a shower-over-bath combo, with a separate toilet to keep busy mornings running smoothly. A heat pump and good natural light help keep the home comfortable year-round.

Outside is where this property really comes into its own. The large, fully usable section gives you room to garden, play, landscape or extend you choose. The standalone double garage, wide driveway and gated entrance add serious practicality, while mature greenery brings privacy and a sense of calm that’s increasingly hard to find this close to the CBD.

While the home is perfectly liveable as is, a little spruce-up whether cosmetic updates, fresh décor, or minor improvements could unlock immediate value and elevate both comfort and long-term potential.

For investors, the numbers make sense. For first-home buyers, the potential is obvious. For downsizers who still want a bit of space, the easy-care construction and generous allotment tick every box.

Close to schools, parks, shops and major transport routes, this location delivers convenience without the price tag of neighbouring suburbs.

Smart buyers recognise opportunity when they see it.
