Grand family entertainer with panoramic views

Auction (unless sold prior) From 12pm, Thu 11 Dec 2025 3 Deans Avenue, Christchurch Designed for living large and entertaining in style, this substantial three-level home combines generous proportions, everyday comfort and resort-style vibes. Two of the five bedrooms enjoy their own ensuites (with generous walk-in robes) complemented by a completely new family bathroom, making mornings easy for busy households. There is also excellent flexibility for working from home, with multiple spaces that can be configured as offices, studios or breakout areas. At the heart of the home is a striking kitchen with marble benchtop and a true butler's pantry, flowing effortlessly to a spacious dining area and multiple living zones - plus a classic bar that's perfect for weekend hosting. An indoor solar-assisted saltwater pool and spa provide year-round leisure, while a sunny extra room/sunroom, flat lawn and expansive decking make family time and entertaining a breeze. Thoughtful extras include a separate laundry and excellent storage throughout. Practicality meets performance with eighteen solar panels, three heat pumps, a gas fire and mostly double glazing delivering efficiency and comfort in all seasons. The exterior features plaster over cavity and cedar cladding, along with reroofing and other modernisations, including significant upgrades undertaken in 2009 by John Chaplin and further upgrades in 2014 after the earthquake. Full EQC repairs have been completed and signed off, giving buyers added confidence - yet there is still scope to further enhance and add your own value over time. With five bedrooms, four bathrooms and flexible spaces, this home is ideal for large or extended families, multigenerational living or those who simply love to host. Triple-car internal-access garaging and additional off-street parking - a prized asset on the hill - add everyday ease. Positioned on a rare, level 783sqm hillside section opposite a reserve and just moments from Mt Pleasant School, you'll enjoy sweeping views across the Alps, city, estuary and ocean. The owners are now downsizing after enjoying this much-loved family home for over 40 years - presenting a special opportunity to secure a truly iconic hillside entertainer with room to make it your own.
