64 Cressy Terrace Lyttelton, Christchurch City

This comprehensively refurbished, 1960's classic in an elevated 961m2 setting, with adjoining rural land at the rear boundary, and sensational harbour views has an enviable checklist of desirable features.

Although quality materials were a hallmark of mid 20th-century house construction, warmth and energy efficiency were not always high on the list of priorities. It's refreshing to find a property that not only enjoys those original construction features, but also the benefits of insulation (both ceiling and external walls) and double glazing elevating thermal efficiency to the levels demanded for contemporary comfort.

Although many Lyttelton properties suffer from lack of vehicle accommodation, this property with its large double garage offers generous utility space. Its solid concrete construction has resulted in an equivalent sealed area above that could offer many possibilities.

This superbly presented home invites enjoyment of a harbourside lifestyle, within easy reach of the city and only minutes from the heart of Lyttelton. There is much more, however, with its semi-rural lifestyle adjoining the Port Hills rural areas and associated reserves creating a peaceful backdrop that almost feels like a step back in time.

Prospective purchasers should be aware that, as this property is for definite sale, registrations of interest are advisable as it may be sold at any time.
