Description
Set beyond an electric gate at the end of a graceful, meandering driveway, this exceptional residence offers a rare combination of scale, style, and location. On a 7122m2 parklike section, the property delivers both privacy and convenience, with Burnside Park, clubs, public transport, Christchurch Airport, and major arterial routes just minutes away.
Lovingly cared for, modernised, and extended in recent years, the home blends enduring architecture with contemporary enhancements, courtesy of David Smith Architects. The cedar and Hebel cladding, double glazing, and aluminium joinery ensure timeless appeal and durability. Inside, natural light fills generous living spaces, including a sunroom, formal lounge, and open-plan kitchen/dining with a sleek butler's pantry and breakfast bar.
Accommodation comprises four double bedrooms - two up, two down - with the master suite privately positioned upstairs. Additional features include four toilets, a further two bathrooms, a separate shower room, a modern laundry, and abundant storage. Triple car garaging with loft space adds flexibility.
Outdoor living is equally impressive - a sheltered entertainment courtyard with permanent outdoor fire, an established orchard, a separate paddock, and a playground that create a true family haven.
Multiple heating options keep you comfortable year-round, while an alarm/security system provides peace of mind.
Zoned for Roydvale Primary, Merrin Primary, Cobham Intermediate, and Burnside High, this is a premium address offering an unrivalled blend of lifestyle freedom, urban access, and educational excellence.
Your family's next chapter begins here - large-scale, private, and utterly captivating.
