49 Princes Street, Waikari, Hurunui, Canterbury

In Waikari, a character home on a gated, flat 2316m² section is a hard combination to secure. Held by the same family for many years, 49 Princes Street is now on the market, offering four bedrooms, a big central living hub, a covered patio and the kind of backyard space that makes day-to-day life easier.

Inside, the home centres around a generous open-plan living, dining and kitchen. The wood burner with wetback provides winter warmth, while wide windows bring in natural light and outlooks across the garden. The kitchen is practical and well positioned, with long bench space, ample cabinetry and a natural connection to the dining area, making it easy to cook, serve and stay involved. This central hub flows directly out through sliding doors beyond the dining area to the covered patio, extending the living space outdoors.

The patio is sheltered, private and north-facing, well suited to barbecues, relaxed meals or simply enjoying the outlook. From here, the section opens out into established planting, mature trees and open lawn, offering space that’s increasingly hard to find.

There are four bedrooms in total, made up of three doubles and one single, providing flexibility for families, guests, hobbies or a home office. The bathroom is well laid out with a bath, vanity and separate shower, while the separate laundry adds everyday practicality with direct access outside.

Garaging is generous, with room for vehicles, tools and storage, supported by plenty of off-street parking. The grounds are already set up for easy use, with woodsheds for firewood, established border planting and a large, flat lawn that suits kids, pets and future garden plans.

Positioned close to the Waikari Domain, local school, community pool and village shops, this address offers genuine small-town convenience with a relaxed rural pace. Daily needs are close by, and the setting supports an easy-going, family-friendly lifestyle.
