25C Montrose Street, Sydenham, Christchurch City, Canterbury

Freehold Homes that give you choice in how you live day to day are rare but this one manages it with ease. With outdoor spaces on both levels, bedrooms that adapt to whatever stage of life you’re in, and a spot that keeps you minutes from the heart of the city, it’s a home designed for easy life.

Downstairs, two bedrooms both spill directly outdoors, perfect for flatmates, teens, or simply having fresh air at your doorstep. One opens to a private courtyard framed with built-in seating and leafy planting, already set up as an easy entertaining zone. Add in a full bathroom on this level, internal-access garage, and a separate laundry, and you’ve got a floor plan that’s practical without ever feeling cramped.

Head upstairs and the vibe shifts to light and elevation. The kitchen, dining and lounge sit together in a sun-filled open plan, with the kitchen offering modern appliances, plenty of storage and a bench that doubles as a breakfast perch. Views of porthills from kitchen, living area upstairs is cherry on top.

Sliding doors extend the living onto the balcony - your second alfresco area, ready for coffee catch-ups or evening drinks.

The main bedroom is also upstairs, spacious and restful with built-in storage, while a full bathroom with both shower and bathtub keeps mornings (and evenings) running smoothly. Neutral finishes with fresh paint job throughout mean you can move in, style it your way, and be settled from day one.

Step outside the front door and Sydenham living unfolds. You’re a five-minute stroll to The Colombo with its cafés, dining and boutique shopping, handy to Sydenham Park for sport and play, and just around the corner from Waltham Pool. Addington and the CBD are a quick ride away, with easy access to Brougham Street making commutes simple in every direction.

For 1st home buyers, young families or investors, this is a property that balances ease with opportunity, and in Sydenham, homes like this don’t linger.

1 internal access garage + 1 dedicated parking slot.
