One owner since new, this three bedroom townhouse is well positioned to offer a retreat from the city bustle. A home, an investment or an ideal city base.

Set well back from Riccarton Road this property has a double garage, with attic storage, which opens to a paved courtyard.

Surprisingly spacious with three bedrooms and two bathrooms (bath, shower and WC up, and shower and WC down) adjoining kitchen and dining, and with the living opening to a beautifully planted, north facing courtyard. Separate laundry.

It is easy to understand why you'll love this location with a huge array of popular amenities only a short distance away. On the bus route, walk to Westfield Riccarton and its surrounding businesses in one direction or to Church Corner and Countdown in the other, and the University of Canterbury is around the corner.

The current owner has loved living here for the last 25 years, but is moving to a retirement village before Christmas so early possession available.
