53b Edward Avenue, St. Albans, Christchurch City, Canterbury

Offering 165m² of well-designed living on a 339m² section, this four-bedroom home blends resilience, sustainability & Scandinavian-inspired simplicity into one cohesive architectural statement. Perfect for professionals, design-conscious families, or those wanting a space with real substance, it’s immaculate, future-focused & effortlessly liveable. Clean architectural lines, cedar detailing & expansive glazing set the tone, while the interiors feel calm, considered & impeccably executed.

The ground floor delivers generous open-plan living, where a central kitchen anchors the layout. Floor-to-ceiling cabinetry in warm timber tones pairs beautifully with stone benches & a substantial island with breakfast bar. The minimalist Nordic aesthetic is softened by natural light streaming through full-height sliders, with the living zone flowing seamlessly to a sun-drenched deck for true indoor-outdoor harmony.

Above, 64 PV solar panels power this solar-smart home, feeding surplus energy back for credits & building savings during sunnier days to help offset energy costs year-round.

Upstairs, the master suite enjoys a park outlook, built-in storage & access to a sleek fully tiled ensuite. Three further double bedrooms provide flexibility for children, guests or ideal as a 2nd living area. A second beautifully appointed bathroom mirrors the same contemporary detailing, while a separate laundry downstairs keeps daily routines neatly tucked away.

Outdoors, the landscaping strikes a careful balance, lush yet low-maintenance. Raised planter boxes, climbing greenery & a private lawn create a sheltered courtyard feel. The covered carport & additional off-street parking for up to 3 vehicles are discreetly integrated beneath the striking cantilevered upper level, while an electric gate enhances privacy & security.

Positioned at 53b Edward Ave, just minutes from Merivale Village, Edgeware shops, Hagley Park & the CBD, this is refined, forward-thinking living in a tightly held, highly desirable setting.
