25 Piko Crescent, Riccarton, Christchurch City, Canterbury, 8041, New Zealand

Prudent purchasers in search of an affordable entry into the city’s favoured educational quarter will be delighted by this quaint 2-3 bedroom classic, which also holds interest for astute land bankers due to its mouth-watering 784m2 parcel with an enviable north-western orientation and park outlook.

The traditionally styled, single level home is neatly presented and has enjoyed partial updates, the modern kitchen being a shining example, however continued evolution of the interior would expand both its comfort and ultimate worth.

The sensible floorplan encompasses open plan dining and separate living, with all-important climate considerations addressed thanks to a heat pump and consented log fire.

Both bedrooms are furnished with built-in wardrobes and supported by a family bathroom, and further attributes include a separate room off the back porch, and a single garage with additional off-street parking.

Ringed by the retail magnets of Westfield Riccarton and Bush Inn, the amenity-rich location is in zone for both Christchurch Boys’ High and Christchurch Girls’ High Schools, and makes for an easy commute whether by bicycle or on foot for students and faculty of the University of Canterbury

Currently leased until June, this solid performer would represent an easy addition to your potential investment portfolio, courtesy of its Healthy Homes Compliance endorsement.
