Nestled at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, this nearly rebuilt townhouse at 8/96 Poulson Street, Addington, Christchurch, boasts a fresh and inviting ambiance. The 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom unit with a single carpark, built in 1988, sits on a level contour with roughcast walls and an iron roof, both in good condition. It's a cross-lease property, covering a floor area of 70 square meters, and features a central heat pump for efficient climate control. The galley-style kitchen with brand new appliances and the open-plan living and dining areas lead to a paved courtyard garden, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor flow. The property has seen a CV increase of 62.96% from $270,000 in 2019 to $440,000 as of 2022, with a HouGarden AVM of $422,500. Notably, the latest sale was for $260,000 in 2023, following a sale in 2016 for $265,000.
For families, the property falls within the zone of several high-performing schools, including Villa Maria College (decile 9), St Thomas of Canterbury College (decile 8), Middleton Grange School (decile 9), and more. This home offers the benefits of a prime location, privacy at the end of the block, and a touch of luxury without the new price tag.
Living here means being part of an attractive, tree-lined neighborhood, less than 3km from the CBD, where the townhouse lifestyle offers an appealing alternative to traditional suburbia. It's a unique opportunity that may not come again, so it's truly a case of now or never.
