4A Garnett Avenue, Spreydon, Canterbury

This cool, contemporary home offers the ultimate in easy-care living with low-maintenance modern construction, an incredibly easy-care garden (no lawns to mow!) and a location so unbelievably handy that you can leave the car at home and walk to the supermarket or drive just a few minutes to a huge array of amenities and leisure activities. Situated on a freehold rear section of 483 sqm, the privacy is hard to beat, and there's even a view of the hills from the upper level. Zoning for highly regarded Cashmere High is the icing on the cake for this gem. An expanse of open-plan living is cleverly designed to create zones so that family members can be together and still enjoy their own space. At one end is a well-proportioned kitchen, incorporating an abundance of counter space and storage, and modern appliances including under-bench oven and two dish-drawers. The island breakfast bar makes it easy for guests to chat with whoever's cooking, and windows on two elevations ensure plenty of natural light. A practical tiled floor flows through to the dining area where French doors open to north-facing decking. At the western end, the room opens out to a generous sitting area with cleverly positioned skylights to maintain privacy while letting the sun flow in and bi-fold doors on two aspects create seamless indoor-outdoor flow to wraparound decking. Ideal for entertaining, it's a layout that would work equally well for family living or executives. Established specimen trees add colour and movement, while the garden is planted with easy-care shrubs and grasses. The light and bright upstairs master bedroom has an en suite bathroom, while two more double bedrooms share a family bathroom with separate bath and shower. Double internal-access garaging is a plus, and additional off-street parking is a welcome bonus. Zoning for Addington School, Christchurch South Intermediate and Cashmere High ensures a good fit for growing families and the convenience of this location is ideal for busy modern lifestyles. With all the shops and cafés of Barrington Mall within walking distance, along with Barrington Park and playground, and an array of amenities at Pioneer Recreation Centre, Lincoln Road, Tower Junction, Westfield Riccarton and the central city, all within a few minutes' drive, the living couldn't be easier. Even the Adventure Park and Port Hills walking tracks are within easy reach. Don't miss the opportunity to secure a superb new lifestyle in an easy-care home.
