514 Manchester Street, St Albans, Christchurch, Canterbury

Holding court on a commanding corner site in St Albans, this two-storey bungalow offers an inspired take on timeless design.

Traditional elements, including a carved timber staircase, original brass hardware and leadlight windows, pay homage to its 1920s origins, while meticulous renovations redefine what a character home can be.

Purchased in 2022, the property has undergone an exceptional transformation, with repainted and wallpapered interiors bringing a renewed sense of style and cohesion.

Striking dark panelling gives the lounge a confident identity, complementing the openness of the dining and living zones, all anchored by a kitchen that balances sleek presentation with the practical accompaniment of a scullery-laundry duo.

Upstairs, the intelligently reimagined master suite now boasts a spacious walk-in wardrobe and a luxuriously appointed ensuite. In the two remaining double bedrooms, bespoke cabinetry ensures that practicality finds its place within a superbly streamlined aesthetic.

A tiled bathroom on the ground floor and extensive storage solutions completes a layout that balances day-to-day ease with long-term practicality.

Framed by established greenery, the 629sqm section reveals a collection of outdoor spaces that extend an invitation to socialise, unwind, or recharge.

Utility takes centre stage with a double carport, two large sheds, and off-street parking, all secured by an automated gate for added privacy.

Set within easy reach of Edgeware Village, Merivale, the inner-city, and sought-after school zones, this is a residence where preserved heritage finds clarity and comfort in the precision of contemporary design.
