The One You've Been Waiting For
With exceptional entertaining and outdoor living options, the focus on quality and attention to detail is evident throughout this executive home which boasts strong architectural lines and a unique, contemporary, 'U-shaped' design. Sitting at the heart of the incredibly low maintenance 225sqm home, a fantastically sheltered courtyard forms a central axis from which two wings - one for bedroom accommodation and the other housing the home's living zones -unfold. Every living space and all 4 bedrooms open out to, or enjoy views of, the home's pivotal outdoor courtyard and the surrounding, understated and simply landscaped gardens (which feature an effective and ambient outdoor lighting plan).
The large open plan casual living area and dining space create a vibrant centre of functionality and activity, with an easy flow between these two spaces and the stunning kitchen seamlessly accommodating a busy family life. A second, separate living area (which can be accessed through sliding doors) presents options for use as a formal lounge or media room. This living room is bathed in light and opens out through large sliding doors to a north facing courtyard. Three of the four bedrooms are doubles and both the family bathroom (with both shower and bath) and master bedroom ensuite are endowed with high quality fixtures and fittings. The master bedroom also includes a large walk-in wardrobe, double shower and double vanities. A guest powder room adjacent to the impressive entrance lobby adds further convenience and vehicles are well catered for with double garaging (with drive-through access for a trailer, caravan or boat) and excellent off-street parking.
Set well back from the road on a private and quiet, rear 558sqm section, the home relishes a fast appreciating location only a few hundred metres from Riccarton road. Centrally positioned between the University and Westfield Shopping Mall, the situation offers zoning for Riccarton High and prestigious Christchurch Boys' High as well as proximity to Bush Inn, Church Corner, gorgeous Deans Bush and the popular weekend markets at Riccarton House.
