128 Rutland Street, St. Albans, Christchurch City, Canterbury, 8052, New Zealand

A family-sized sanctuary that’s all set to go, there’ll be a queue around the block for this one. Prime privacy. Sublime sun. Large, light living. Plus a café and park a stroll away and excellent school zoning… this St Albans sweetheart raises the bar!

A stunning spacious family home on a sun-blessed 627m² section, this property has been renovated to an immaculate standard. Faultless on the family-flow front, you’ve got four bedrooms (master double with ensuite & built-in robe) and two bathrooms delivering the kind of family space the market craves. The same goes for the heart of the home – the gorgeous open plan area. With an upgraded kitchen and extension (2018), you’re in for a treat. Ushering in so much natural light with timber oak floors lightening things up even more, the dynamic between the kitchen/dining gives you a lovely, liveable space. Cook during the week while the kids do homework, then at weekends, open the doors to the deck and get your friends around. Just off here, you’ve also got a large living zone that has doors outside too, so there’s nothing stopping you throwing that big get-together. To finish, there’s a study nook and separate laundry, while underfloor heating, two heatpumps and partial double glazing delivers clear-cut comfort.

In the north-west facing gardens you’ve got it all. Sun, privacy and manicured greenery. The adults will gravitate towards the raised deck while the kids will love the play hut and lush lawn. The full fencing is fab for pets too, and double garaging (new 2012) plus off-street parking meets storage needs.

Just steps from Rugby and Malvern Parks, Meschino Café, Merivale Precinct and Northlands Mall are a short drive away. The school run is easy too – and aren’t the zonings amazing? Walk to Paparoa St. Primary, while other desirable zoned schools include Heaton Int. CBHS, CGHS & Papanui High. Take your pick! St Andrews College is also an easy stroll away.

A refined Rutland retreat with absolutely everything a family could want, properties with these credentials are red hot.
