Want to buy your first home? Would you like to downsize for retirement? Buy a rental property? Then this sunny, private townhouse is what you are looking for.

You would be away from the traffic, yet close to public transport and main arterial roads. Close to the Bush Inn Centre and the Upper Riccarton businesses, and not far from Westfield Shopping Centre. Doctors, dentists, schools, the University of Canterbury, the bus to Lincoln, and many workplaces are all within reach. The CBD will return, and you won’t be far away.

While this upgraded property is ready for you to move into and enjoy, there is potential for you to add value by altering it to suit your lifestyle. It is ideally located, being the rear townhouse of two, with an internal access single garage, in a quiet cul-de-sac near Middleton Park. The private grassed area is of a good size. The patio and lounge are ideally positioned, receiving the afternoon sun.

The earthquake damage was of a minor cosmetic nature, and has all been repaired. As a result, the purchasers will acquire a property which has been recently redecorated.

A residential valuation report is available, as is the LIM, a building inspection report, and the EQ scope of work.
