Offered to the market for the first time in nearly three decades, this 1950s brick home proudly occupies an exclusive 1,287sqm (more or less) section zoned Residential Suburban under the Christchurch City Council District Plan. Showcasing the enduring appeal of solid mid-century construction and a substantial landholding classed as TC1, seldom available in today's market. 5 Bucknell Street presents an exceptional opportunity for buyers seeking space, potential, and a convenient location.

Lovingly maintained by its long-term owners, the home delivers a practical and inviting layout. The open-plan kitchen, living and dining area form the heart of the household with a log burner and heat pump offering a welcoming and comfortable environment to relax. Three double bedrooms provide ample accommodation, while a separate laundry, with outdoor access, adds everyday functionality.

Bathed in natural light, the home's conservatory becomes a sun-soaked haven throughout the day, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. Adaptable to your lifestyle, this space can easily adapt to your needs, whether as a bright and inspiring home office, a peaceful second sitting room, or a lively rumpus area for teenagers to enjoy.

A tandem garage, complete with a mechanic's pit and dedicated workshop space with a workbench, will appeal to hobbyists and car enthusiasts alike. Beyond, the expansive backyard offers a secure and private setting for children, pets or future development ambitions.

Positioned for lifestyle convenience, the property is just moments from Bush Inn Centre, the University of Canterbury, and Riccarton Park, placing shopping, education, and recreation within effortless reach. Families will also value the excellent schooling options, including Avonhead School, Villa Maria College, St Thomas of Canterbury College, and Riccarton High School.
