20 Bayliss Drive, Kaiapoi, Waimakariri, Canterbury

Large on land but light on maintenance, this three-bedroom home brings single-level spaciousness and established ease to Sovereign Palms.

The ownership advantages start with the exterior, where permanent-material construction keeps upkeep to a minimum, while feature wallpapers introduce individuality to the neutral interiors.

The kitchen has capacity well covered, pairing newly installed benchtops with a spacious scullery that shifts storage and preparation comfortably behind the scenes. An integrated study slots seamlessly into the open-plan living and dining layout, giving work central convenience, while a second lounge reserves valuable space for a change of pace.

Three sets of stacker doors give the living spaces an open invitation outdoors, where a pair of connected patios give greater ground to entertaining and downtime.

The master brings greater scale to the three-bedroom line-up, accompanied by a walk-in wardrobe and direct access to the family bathroom, where a spa bath and tiled shower take the specification well beyond the basics.

Comfort comes with considerable coverage, combining a ducted heat-pump system with the fireside appeal of an Escea gas fire, while a dedicated laundry and separate WC give the practical workload quarters of their own.

Presentation and productivity share the 831sqm grounds, combining established landscaping and a sizeable vegetable garden with two sheds, giving gardening gear serious storage with space to spare.

Vehicle accommodation is equipped for more than the daily fleet, extending from the internal-access garage and ample off-street parking to a dedicated boat or caravan space with its own entrance.

Sovereign Palms keeps leisure local, with parks, playgrounds and Kaiapoi Lakes within walking distance, while Kaiapoi’s shopping and everyday essentials are three minutes by car. Christchurch and the airport remain less than 25 minutes away, adding city reach to a property particularly well pitched for first-home buyers and downsizers.
