Description
Set along the Heathcote River with direct access to its walkway, this home offers a rare combination of privacy, space and outdoor connection. Hansen Park sits next door, and the Port Hills are an easy walk away, placing recreation and nature within immediate reach.
Inside, large windows illuminate the split-level layout. The main lounge features high ceilings and views toward the river, while the tiered configuration creates practical areas for work, play, or quiet retreat. The top floor contains the master bedroom with ensuite, alongside a second living space and study nook. The lower level includes three double bedrooms and a full family bathroom with bathtub.
The established grounds will appeal to gardeners and families alike, with mature trees, flower beds, a vegetable patch and generous lawn areas. A substantial rear section currently used for chickens offers further potential for future use. There is a double carport plus an internal-access double garage hosting a private office. Heating is provided by a central log burner supported by a heat pump, DVS and an automated heat transfer system, the solar gain heating this provides through both in spring and autumn keeping the house cozy warm in the evenings prior to sunset. The kitchen and dining area open directly to a west-facing deck that captures the afternoon sun and provides an ideal setting for outdoor meals under a canopy tree for shade and comfort.
Schooling options are close by, including Opawa School, Hillview Christian School, Rudolf Steiner School and St Martins School. Positioned down a quiet lane and bordered by green space, this home delivers practical family living in a peaceful riverside setting.
