148 Rangiora Woodend Road, Ravenswood, Waimakariri, Canterbury

Set in the heart of Ravenswood, where everything’s new, tidy and well thought-out - this three-bedroom beauty nails the balance between design and down-to-earth living. The reserve on the side means you get semi- rural feel with less homes around and uninterrupted sun in the mornings to the bedrooms.

You walk in and it just makes sense. The open-plan living feels bright and easy, and the kitchen’s a bit of a show-off, with dark benchtops, warm timber and pendant lights. Like a modern café, but with no queues.

Slide open the doors and you’ve got a sunny deck and pergola calling for Sunday brunches, lazy reading or a sneaky afternoon nap. The backyard’s low-maintenance but has enough personality for a few planter boxes, a barbecue, maybe even a hammock if you’re feeling optimistic about summer. It’s the kind of space that lets you do as much or as little as you like - garden a bit, entertain a bit, or simply watch the sun wander across the lawn.

The master bedroom’s got all the perks - ensuite, walk-in robe, peace and quiet. The other two rooms? Perfect for kids, mates, guests or your new work-from-home setup. The main bathroom earns extra points for the freestanding tub (soak, scroll, repeat) and a separate WC that keeps the morning routine smooth.

Double glazing, a heat pump, and an internal-access garage tick off the practical list, while the full insulation and modern build mean low maintenance and comfort all year round.

And location-wise, it’s spot on. Ravenswood Central’s shops and cafés are just down the road, Woodend School’s close by, and you can be in Christchurch in about 25 minutes - far enough to escape the traffic, close enough for the Friday night dinner plans. There’s a real sense of community here, with playgrounds, parks and friendly streets that remind you why people love calling this area home.
