Two Carparks, Two Bedrooms, One Smart Move

<p>Set behind locked gates a few minutes from the four avenues, this two-bedroom apartment offers the kind of low-maintenance buying that's getting harder to find this close to town — and at 66sqm, with noticeably more room than most apartments in its price bracket.<br /><br />Sitting one level up with its own private stairway, the apartment opens onto a tiled, covered balcony that wraps the corner of the building. Glass balustrading holds the sun and keeps the wind off, and there's comfortable room out there for a BBQ, a couple of chairs and a table, with a storage cupboard off to one side. It's a genuine second living space rather than a token ledge.<br /><br />Inside, the open plan layout is double glazed throughout, with kitchen and living flowing out to that balcony through a full-height slider. The kitchen is compact but properly equipped — under-bench oven with ceramic cooktop, stainless rangehood, built-in microwave and dishwasher. The benchtop wraps into a breakfast bar that seats two. Beyond it the living room is a room in its own right, with space for a full-length sofa, an armchair and a media unit, and still room to move around them.<br /><br />Both bedrooms are doubles that take a queen comfortably, with floor-to-ceiling sliding wardrobes, curtains over roller blinds and their own wall heater. The bathroom is tidy and practical with a separate shower, vanity storage, heated towel rail and full-height mirror, and the laundry tucks in behind bifold doors alongside — dryer stacked above the washing machine and out of sight when it isn't needed. Three wall heaters across the apartment keep things simple and cheap to run.<br /><br />What sets the complex apart is the parking. Two dedicated carparks inside the secure gated grounds, when most apartments at this level give you one if you're lucky. There's secure bike storage and a shared outdoor seating area down there too, all behind the gates.<br /><br />The address does a lot of the work too. Zoned for Christchurch Girls' and Boys' High, Heaton Normal Intermediate and St Albans School, a short walk to the Edgeware shops, and a quick run into the CBD or Papanui Road.<br /><br />Vacant possession means you can move in, or have a tenant in place, from day one. First home, downsizer or rental — at this level it stacks up all three ways.<br /><br />Deadline Sale closes Wednesday, 30th of September, 2026, unless sold prior. Call Harsh to arrange a viewing.</p>
