Interior spaces seamlessly connected to the outdoors. Open-plan living that unfolds beautifully for daily life, with light pouring in as the sun rises and sets. This stunning new residence by LARK Developments and award-winning JTB Architects epitomises the sense of flow that luxurious contemporary living demands. Expertly crafted, it is a home for the ages.
An expanse of living and dining is elevated by a gas fire, timber flooring, muted tones and tactile finishes, while raked ceilings add visual drama. In the high-spec kitchen and scullery, sumptuous details meet careful design for that rare combination of beauty and practicality. A separate lounge offers an intimate alternative to open space. Wrapping around both living areas, landscaped 466 sqm grounds are a restful backdrop, with a choice of al fresco entertaining zones accessed through expansive glass sliders.
Upstairs, the primary master enjoys a northwest aspect, enhanced by a palatial WIR and tiled ensuite with bath. A second master with ensuite on the ground floor offers comfortable guest accommodation, while two more double bedrooms and an office share a family bathroom. A separate laundry, powder room and double internal-access garage, combined with generous storage, the comfort of ducted heating and cooling with individual room settings, and provisional lift access, future-proof the home and ensure the utmost liveability in a home of style and substance.
Zoned for Fendalton School, Kirkwood Intermediate, Boys' High, Girls' High and Burnside High, with private options nearby, families are well catered for. Stroll to cafes, eateries and the Farmers' Market, and enjoy the ease of living within minutes of Hagley Park, Westfield Riccarton and the central city. This is your opportunity to secure a home of exceptional quality.
Best appreciated in person, the scale, finishes and natural light elevate this home beyond expectation. Contact Andrea or Cameron without delay to view.
