This exceptional residence offers 207sqm (more or less) of elegant living space that transcends time and trends. Built-in the 1960s, 25 Ilam Road stands as a testament to mid-century modern architecture. Its meticulous design places an emphasis on natural light and sunshine, ensuring the home exudes warmth and radiance throughout.

The interior is a curated symphony of well-proportioned rooms, showcasing the rich beauty of native timbers while the upper-level features soaring raked ceilings that enhance the sense of space. The home's thoughtful layout flows effortlessly, designed to offer a harmonious blend of private and social areas.

Upstairs, three double bedrooms offer serene retreats, complemented by two newly renovated bathrooms, adding both luxury and practicality to everyday living. The ground floor is equally impressive, with versatile spaces to suit your lifestyle needs: the second bathroom, separate laundry, and office, as well as dedicated dining and kitchen areas. The two formal lounges provide exceptional space to entertain, one with a mezzanine floor that adds an artistic flair, the other with a window seat offering serene views over the tranquil in-ground swimming pool.

The residence also offers year-round comfort with three strategically placed heat pumps, ensuring every room is perfectly tempered regardless of the season.

Situated on a 506sqm freehold land parcel with fully fenced areas, established gardens and the ultimate outdoor entertaining area surrounding the swimming pool. Positioned just a short walk from the Bush Inn Centre, University of Canterbury and transport links. Local schools include Ilam School, Kahikatea Kirkwood Intermediate, and Riccarton High School. It is also within walking distance to Villa Maria College, making it an ideal location for students or those seeking proximity to excellent educational facilities.

With a home rich in history and character, there is ample opportunity to enhance and modernise the interiors or simply bask in the legacy of a home that has been lovingly cared for by its current owners for over 20 years.

Offered with vacant possession, this is an opportunity not to be missed for those seeking an architectural gem in one of the city's sought-after and convenient locations.
