Wigram Real Estate

Deadline Sale: all offers to be presented by 1:00 pm, Wednesday 22 April 2026 (unless sold prior) Welcome to 21 Defoe Place, a private retreat positioned at the end of a leafy cul‑de‑sac. Set on a rare 548sqm of Residential Medium Density (RMD) land, this character home offers an exciting blend of charm, warmth, and opportunity - ideal whether you're stepping onto the property ladder, wanting to restore a character home, or exploring development potential. Step inside to find a surprisingly spacious open‑plan layout that feels instantly welcoming. A woodfire and heat pump provide year‑round comfort, while the enclosed back porch opens to a sun‑soaked backyard framed by mature plantings. The sizeable double garage with independent doors offers excellent storage, workshop space, or room for future projects. The home presents a fantastic canvas for those who appreciate character and want to enhance it further. With scope to refresh, modernise, and add value, this is an opportunity to tailor a classic home to your taste. At the same time, the flat section and desirable RMD zoning create attractive prospects for future redevelopment in a location where land is becoming increasingly scarce. Convenience is a major highlight here. You're just a short walk from The Colombo Mall, supermarkets, cafés, bars, and boutique shopping. The property is also well‑connected to major transport routes, making city access incredibly easy. Adding even more appeal, the home sits within proximity to Christchurch's major new infrastructure investment - One NZ Stadium - which is expected to boost surrounding suburbs, hospitality, and central‑city vibrancy. Whether you're dreaming of restoring a character home, searching for a project with strong upside, or looking to secure an RMD site in a rapidly growing location, 21 Defoe Place is an opportunity not to be missed.
