66 Glenmark drive, Waipara, Hurunui, Canterbury

Morning coffee on the front veranda, roses in bloom by the gate and a home that has been renovated with real care. Here, you get the charm character buyers are chasing, with the everyday ease that makes life simpler. This three-bedroom home sits on a well-kept 773m² section and brings together high ceilings, timber floors, sash windows and double glazing in a way that feels true to the home’s era while working beautifully for modern living.

The living area is nicely proportioned, with polished wooden floors underfoot, a heat pump for quick comfort and a compliant wood burner for the colder months. The kitchen has clean modern finishes, good storage and a practical connection to the dining space, so meals, homework and catch-ups all sit naturally together. From here, doors open straight out to the covered deck and patio, giving you an easy indoor-outdoor flow.

All three bedrooms are a good size, each with the same sense of character that runs through the rest of the home. High ceilings keep them airy, while the tasteful light fittings sit well with the home’s vintage styling. The bathroom has been modernised, giving you a move-in ready setup in every sense.

Outside, the front veranda gives the home standout street appeal, while the rear deck and patio create a sheltered spot for entertaining in any season. There is a single garage with an automatic door, plenty of off-street parking and a near-new eco septic tank system already in place. The lawn offers room for kids to kick a ball, a bit of gardening, or simply enjoying the breathing room.

Waipara is a spot people choose for its village feel, vineyard surrounds and easy connection north or south via State Highway 1. You are close to Glenmark Domain, Waipara School and well-known local cellar doors including Black Estate, making day-to-day living feel nicely grounded with a few good extras nearby.
