11 Nayland Street Sumner, Christchurch City

Some homes are simply renovated. This one has been thoughtfully restored - carefully, comprehensively and with genuine respect for the character and craftsmanship that made it special in the first place.

Behind its timeless period detailing and classic proportions lies a home that has been extensively renewed from the ground up. A new roof and partial re-cladding is complemented by recent relevelling, while beautifully re-sanded timber floors, brand new carpet and sympathetic interior updates ensure its original charm remains firmly at the forefront.

From the moment you step inside, the home's character is unmistakable. A beautiful stained-glass window casts colour across the entranceway, while the solid timber staircase creates an immediate sense of warmth, nostalgia and timeless appeal.

The versatile layout offers excellent flexibility for modern family living. Upstairs are two exceptionally spacious bedrooms, complimented by a sun-filled study or sunroom and a beautifully modernised family bathroom. On the main level, a further bedroom and bathroom provide an ideal separation for guests, teenagers, extended family or those seeking additional privacy.

The newly installed kitchen creates a stylish and welcoming focal point, combining contemporary convenience with a sympathetic connection to the home's character. Generous dual living areas provide both connection and separation, offering the flexibility families need for everyday living and larger gatherings. Refreshed interiors throughout offer all the comforts expected of modern living while preserving the warmth and personality that make character homes so enduringly desirable.

French doors from the kitchen open effortlessly to a sunny north-facing patio and newly landscaped lawn, creating a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living. Whether entertaining friends, enjoying long lunches in the sun or watching children play, this is a home designed to be enjoyed.

Designed for year-round comfort, the home features the warmth and ambience of a classic log burner, an efficient heat pump, extensive insulation and the convenience of continuous gas hot water. Practical living extends further with the inclusion of a single garage and off-street parking.

Then there is the location. Positioned just one block from the beach and moments from the cafes, restaurants and amenities of Sumner Village, this is coastal living at its finest. Morning walks on the sand, coffee at your favourite local, and everything Sumner has to offer right at your doorstep.

Beautifully restored, comprehensively renewed and perfectly positioned, this is a character home that delivers the charm of the past with the comfort and confidence of modern living.

Character homes of this calibre, in this location, are rarely offered in such beautifully restored condition. Don't miss viewing, out of town owner wants sold.
