36 Marcoola Drive, Rolleston, Selwyn, Canterbury

Set on a 722m² section with a substantial 245m² floor area, this four-bedroom home blends open-plan living, quiet retreats and a backyard that invites time outdoors. Solar panels add energy efficiency for power, hot water and ev charger, while the design itself centers around comfort and connection.

The kitchen anchors the main living zone, with a generous island bench, sleek appliances and a walk-in pantry keeping everything organised. From here, the dining and living area stretches out in one cohesive sweep, filled with natural light from large windows and sliding doors. Tucked between the main living area and the separate lounge is a handy study nook, an ideal spot for working from home, keeping an eye on homework, or setting up a gaming station. The lounge itself offers a quieter setting for movie nights or relaxed evenings. A heat pumps keep the interior comfortable through Canterbury’s changing seasons, while the indoor-outdoor connection means great entertaining on sunny days.

The bedrooms are arranged along a central hallway. The master sits at one end, complete with a walk-in wardrobe and a sleek ensuite. The remaining three bedrooms provide flexibility for family, guests or a home office. The main bathroom includes both a bath and shower, with a separate WC nearby for convenience. The standalone laundry has plenty of storage and a good folding bench.

Outdoors, the fully fenced section offers a tidy balance of lawn and easy-care planting. There’s room for kids to kick a ball, space for raised planter boxes if you enjoy growing vegetables, and a sunny patio that naturally becomes the setting for weekend barbecues or morning coffees.

Rolleston continues to draw people who appreciate its modern neighbourhoods and easy commute into Christchurch. Parks, a new school just opened at the end of the street, local shops are all within easy reach, creating a lifestyle that feels both relaxed and connected.

If this feels like the kind of home you’ve been hoping to find, I'd love to show you through.
