42 Grierson Avenue, Amberley Beach, Hurunui, Canterbury

This four-bedroom, two-bathroom home in Amberley Beach gets the balance right with 261sqm of well-planned living on an 809sqm easy-care section, permanent materials, and the kind of garaging setup that is getting harder to find.

The main living areas are generous without feeling oversized, giving you two separate lounges plus open-plan kitchen and dining at the centre of daily life. The kitchen is well laid out with a broad breakfast bar, quality appliances and great connection to the rest of the home, while the large sunny conservatory adds another place to relax, host friends or simply follow the sun through the day. Two heat pumps keep things comfortable year-round.

The bedroom layout is equally well considered. The main bedroom has its own ensuite, a large walk-in wardrobe and doors opening out, while the remaining bedrooms are well-sized and supported by a family bathroom with both bath and shower, plus a separate toilet for everyday practicality.

Outside, the easy-care grounds mean your weekends aren't tied up with upkeep. There is internal-access garaging as well as a separate standalone double garage with workshop area and its own toilet, giving you real room for projects, storage, extra vehicles or the gear that usually has nowhere good to go. A water softener is also fitted, adding another layer of everyday comfort.

From here, you are just a short stroll from Amberley Beach and the Amberley Golf Course, with local shops and amenities around 5km away.

Steve Collier would be glad to show you through.
