Classic Ilam Art Deco Home - Casa Deco

Tucked into a quiet residential pocket of Ilam, Casa Deco blends classic Christchurch character with modern comfort. This spacious three-bedroom home features subtle art-deco styling, generous living spaces, and a sunny private courtyard — creating an easy, relaxed base for families, visiting academics, business travellers, or guests wanting to experience Christchurch like a local.

Ilam is one of Christchurch’s most established suburbs, known for its leafy streets, wide sections, and close proximity to the University of Canterbury. From here you’re well positioned between the airport, the CBD, and many of the city’s best parks and outdoor spaces that make Christchurch the Garden City.



The Space

Step inside and you’ll find a light-filled open-plan living and dining area designed for comfort and connection. Large windows bring in the Canterbury sunshine, while comfortable seating and a large TV create the perfect space to unwind after a day exploring the city or heading into town for dinner.

A heat pump ensures year-round comfort — keeping the home warm during crisp Christchurch winters and cool through sunny Canterbury summers.

The kitchen sits at the heart of the home and is fully equipped for longer stays. With full cooking facilities, modern appliances, generous bench space, and breakfast bar seating, it’s ideal whether you’re preparing a quick breakfast before heading out or enjoying a relaxed dinner at home.
