541B Manchester Street St Albans, Christchurch City

If apartment living feels too restrictive and maintaining an older home no longer appeals, this substantial 185 sqm townhouse offers the perfect middle ground.

Upon entering, a long hallway draws your eye towards the open-plan kitchen and living domain. A natural canvas for art lovers, the gallery-like entry sets the tone for what follows. Floor-to-ceiling windows bathe the main living area in natural light and frame the north-facing courtyard.

Upstairs, the impressive master suite becomes your own private retreat, ideal for slow mornings and relaxed evenings. Complete with an ensuite, generous walk-in wardrobe and a north-facing dual access balcony, it invites you to step outside with your morning coffee, soak up the sunshine and enjoy a quiet moment away from the pace of everyday life. Three additional double bedrooms, a well-appointed main bathroom with underfloor heating and automatic skylight (as is the ensuite) with an abundance of storage completing the upper level.

Every detail has been thoughtfully considered, from the generous double garage and off-street parking to the discreetly concealed laundry and ground-floor powder room. Heat pumps ensure year-round comfort, while a private service court provides an unobtrusive space for bikes, recreational equipment and everyday essentials.

Perfectly positioned to embrace the best of Christchurch living, this home places you close to the city's vibrant restaurants, bars, theatres and attractions, with the CBD within comfortable walking distance. St Albans Park and Abberley Park provide beautiful green spaces nearby, while Merivale's boutique shopping, cafés and dining are just moments away. With everyday amenities, sought-after schools and an array of leisure options close at hand, this is an enviable location that puts the very best of the city within easy reach. The new One NZ Stadium and Te Pae Christchurch Convention Centre are also within easy reach.

Importantly, this is one of just six freehold residences, offering the distinction of individual freehold ownership with no body corporate fees.
