THE FLUFF:

As you pull into the garage, the last blush of the afternoon spills gold across the tidy West-facing façade of your new home, and you smile. It is perfect.

There are many new builds on the Christchurch market, but nothing quite like this. Designed by Ben Pentreath Architects, you love how it draws inspiration from early 1800s Georgian Colonial cottages in Hobart, Tasmania, offering the old-world charm of the past, yet with all modern amenities.

As you step inside, the warmth of timber tiled flooring greets you, sunlight still clings to the corners of the living room, spilling in through the West-facing windows and casting a golden glow on the kitchen's high-spec finishes. You place your market flowers in a glass vase on the stone counter and smile. This is yours. The open-plan kitchen, the fresh paint, the brand-new appliances that fill your mind with images of shared meals and slow Sunday breakfasts.

Outside in the sheltered patio, the last birdsong filters in through the glass sliders, open just enough to carry in the scent of pine. In the private garden, you picture a cherry tree blooming in spring. Perfect for weekends spent hosting guests, or on the greens at the nearby Waitikiri or Bottle Lake Golf Course.

Upstairs, the master bedroom waits in the cleverly designed architectural attic space. You move towards the extended window, its view bathed in golden light. With a deep exhale, you look out at your new life here.

The neighbours are quiet, and the community has a serene atmosphere. However, you know there are parks, golf, beaches, and cafes just down the road. Pushing open the window, you breathe in the evening air. This is the perfect next chapter.
