24 Leitch Street Somerfield, Christchurch City

From the street, this home keeps its secrets. But open the front door and everything changes, the real magic begins inside. What lies beyond is a delightful surprise of character, colour, texture and warmth, with the best features revealed room by room and a charm that wins you over instantly, straight through the heart like Cupid's arrow.

Behind a modest facade lies a character lover's dream, brimming with high ceilings, colour, texture, and those irresistible little nooks and crannies that make older homes so special. It's a house with personality, warmth, and a sense of fun - the kind that reveals something new each time you wander through.

Inside, you'll find two generous double bedrooms, including a master with ensuite, plus a light-filled sunroom that comfortably doubles as a third bedroom, creative space, or cosy retreat. The heart of the home is the spacious open-plan kitchen, dining, and living area, brought together beautifully and kept comfortable year-round with a heat pump. Upgrades including wiring, and plumbing mean the hard work has already been done.

Out back, the story continues with a surprisingly lovely, family friendly section complete with a vegetable patch, a reminder that this home really does save its best bits for those who look a little closer.

Conveniently located near the Beckenham shops and Barrington Mall, and zoned for Somerfield Primary School and Cashmere High School, this is a location that continues to impress long after first glance. Wander around the Heathcote river or take a more serious hike up the Port Hills, however active you are there is something for everyone in this location.

The sellers have already secured their next move subject to the quick sale of this home, so this must be sold at or before auction! If you're someone who values character and believes the best homes are the ones that surprise you, this could be your perfect match.
