Don't Wait Until It's Too Late

Twenty years of memories and one exceptional opportunity. This much loved family home comes to market for the first time in two decades, offering the kind of space, presence and enduring appeal that makes a house feel like home.

Delivering the complete family package, this substantial two level home offers five bedrooms, two living areas, two bathrooms, a dedicated office with plenty of room for everyone to spread out without ever feeling disconnected.

And for the enthusiast, the three car garage is a serious drawcard. Whether your pride and joy is a collection of classic cars or simply a few toys that deserve more than a cramped carport, there's room here to accommodate them properly.

The location does plenty of heavy lifting here. Cafes, parks, Kaiapoi township, Waimakariri Junction and the ever-popular Silverstream retail precinct are all within easy reach, making the morning coffee, weekend wander or last-minute shopping run refreshingly uncomplicated. It's the sort of location that makes life just that little bit easier.

A generational family home that will flex and adapt to ever-changing family needs over time. It is easy to see why the current owners have enjoyed this home for two decades. The vendors are committed to family opportunities elsewhere and would like to see the property sold. Savvy buyers will recognise the combination of location, income potential and future upside, with the flexibility to shape the property around their own ambitions. Ideal for first home buyers, this opportunity is firmly on the table; all that remains is for someone with the vision to take it forward.

What is rental yield?

Gross rental yield is a year’s rent as a share of what the property is worth: $605 × 52 weeks = $31,460, against the council valuation of $630,000. It is before rates, insurance, maintenance, management and vacancies, so what an owner keeps (the net yield) is lower.

How we worked this out
EvidencePoints toCounted
From its value what rentals in the area typically yield$604100%

We read this property as a house. Rentals advertised nearby count most when they are close, recent and alike; the more of them there are, the less the area’s bond figures count. Bond figures are rents agreed in new tenancies, from Tenancy Services, placed within the area by how this property’s council valuation compares with similar homes there.

These are computer-generated guides only, not a rental appraisal.

Nobody is tracking this property yet

If it is yours, claiming it puts the council record, the title and what it costs you to hold in one place — and lets you put your lending, insurance and power out to people who compete for them.

Free. Takes about a minute.

We check your name against the registered owner on the title before a claim is accepted. Nothing on this page changes for anyone else, and no provider is contacted until you ask.

What could you build here?

See whether a granny flat fits beside the house: the Building Act exemption, the national granny flat rules and the zone’s own. Then ask builders to price the shape you pick.
