Created more than twenty five years ago by the late, visionary architect Peter Beaven, this remarkable complex stands as one of his finest achievements. Designed with elegant references to the rich heritage and named in honour of the historic convent that once occupied this site, the development beautifully blends timeless architecture with serene modern living.

Two quadrangles form the heart of the community — tranquil, light-filled courtyards that create a sense of calm and connection rarely found today. Stylish yet effortlessly timeless, this enduring landmark stands as a tribute to vision and the lasting beauty of thoughtful design and will appeal to those who seek a home that is anything but ordinary.

This apartment offers modern effortless living, with a balcony overlooking the main courtyard and captures the changing beauty of the seasons — from delicate spring blossoms to lush green summer foliage.

Ideal as a serene home for singles or couples, a rental investment or a lock-and-leave city base combining smart design with effortless everyday living. Step through the architectural front door into a thoughtfully designed space where compact, modern living meets comfort and style.

The open-plan kitchen, dining, and living area creates an inviting space for easy everyday living. The spacious double bedroom with generous built in storage features a large picture window, framing tranquil views of trees and greenery enhancing the home’s sense of calm and connection to nature. A well-appointed bathroom incorporates a combined laundry for added convenience, while an allocated basement car park completes this appealing package.

The location is superb, with the city centre just 1 km away and all its attractions within easy reach. The Town Hall and Te Pae Christchurch Convention Centre are less than a 15-minute walk, while the new Christchurch Stadium is a 25 minute stroll. Hagley Park and the Margaret Mahy Playground are close by, offering green space and recreation at your doorstep.

This contemporary apartment has been my vendor’s first step onto the property market and has proven to be an excellent rental investment. With new plans on the horizon, they now offer the opportunity for the next owner to secure a property within a safe, secure community steeped in history.
