About this property
Auction From 11am, Thu 24 Sep 2026 (unless sold prior) 3 Deans Ave, Chch English-colonial in character and comprehensively modernised, this four-bedroom home takes a confident stance on family living, with space, style and schooling forming its strongest suit. Built by Replica Homes in the 1980s, the English influence extends well beyond the façade, with extensive Rimu detailing, tongue-and-groove finishes and white shutters retaining all-important interior charm, while the renovated kitchen and tiled bathrooms add modern polish to its traditional personality. Generous proportions come with considerable choice, moving from naturally light open-plan kitchen, dining and family living to formal dining and a sunken lounge with a feature window seat, accommodating the full swing of family life. A covered stone verandah provides a sheltered connection outdoors, overlooking private cottage-style gardens before the rear lawn opens up on a considerably larger scale, leaving ample land for family life and future additions such as a swimming pool. Bedrooms are distributed across both levels, giving changing family dynamics valuable flexibility and allowing the layout to adapt as readily to children as it does to guests, extended family or working from home. A dedicated laundry room gives the weekly workload its own workspace, while a detached double garage adds practical depth, with mezzanine storage putting the volume overhead to valuable use. Schooling is a headline advantage, with zoning for Burnside High, Christchurch Boys' and Christchurch Girls' High reinforced by proximity to the University of Canterbury, while Jellie Park, the airport and everyday essentials keep family logistics exceptionally well covered. Character and privacy give the property its personality, while its size and location put it squarely on the radar of families and education-minded investors.
