Perched above Lyttelton Harbour, this exceptional residence delivers a front-row seat to one of the most captivating outlooks in the city a view that evolves with the light, the weather, and the seasons, yet never loses its magic.
Designed by Tobin Smith of TS Architects, the home makes an immediate statement with its striking scoria board-and-batten exterior, setting the tone for what lies within. Light-filled, spacious and effortlessly inviting, this is architecture that enhances everyday living.
At the heart of the home sits a stunning open-plan kitchen, dining and living zone, crowned by a soaring cathedral ceiling. Sliding doors extend the living space out to expansive decks, where frameless glass balustrades ensure the harbour remains uninterrupted, whether you're entertaining guests or enjoying a quiet morning coffee.
Motorised skylights with rain sensors flood the interior with natural light and fresh air, while a cantilevered bay window creates a breathtaking panoramic perch, the perfect place to pause and take in the surrounding landscape.
Accommodation is both generous and refined, with three double bedrooms and two beautifully tiled bathrooms featuring underfloor heating. The master suite is the undeniable hero, enjoying western hill vistas, a walk-around wardrobe, and a luxurious ensuite complete with a tiled shower and indulgent bathtub.
Comfort has been carefully considered year-round including a low-emission log burner, integrated ducted heating, and a discreet heat pump in the master suite.
Offering level access from the driveway, the home includes an internally accessed single garage, additional off-street parking, landscaped grounds, and the peace of mind of a freehold title. Just a short stroll downhill brings you to the heart of Lyttelton, from weekend farmers' markets to its vibrant mix of cafés, eateries and boutique shops while Christchurch's city centre is an easy 20-minute commute.
Opportunities to secure a brand-new, beautifully finished home in this tightly held location are rare. Early inspection is highly recommended, with pre-auction offers invited. Rebecca & Co - where exceptional experiences are the standard, let's get you home!
