14 MacMillan Avenue, Cashmere, Christchurch City, Canterbury

Price by Negotiation

Proudly taking its place on the lower slopes of Cashmere, this character residence carries an unmistakable presence, lifted by its secluded swimming pool and a cinematic outlook that draws the entire city into view.

Built in the early 1900s and set against lovingly maintained gardens, the weatherboard profile and 290sqm (approx) layout reflect the architecture of the era, while renovations draw modern convenience and design flair seamlessly into the fold.

An expansive formal entrance sets the tone, leading into a series of large-scale living rooms that highlight the home’s authentic and original grandeur.

Living begins with a sweeping modern kitchen that turns its focus to a wide window seat overlooking the city and the Southern Alps beyond. Supported by a walk-in pantry and discreet study space, it links to a second room that can serve as a formal dining area, an additional living space, or a fourth bedroom with its own ensuite.

Across the hall, the formal lounge brings its own measure of stature, defined by a built-in bookcase that positions the room as both a living space and library. A central sunroom steps forward as the home’s wind-down space, opening to the terrace where a front-row panorama of Christchurch forms a breathtaking backdrop for outdoor occasions.

A set of steps descends the terraced 1,174sqm section, guiding you to the summertime-centrepiece swimming pool, which basks in privacy and secures the most intimate outlook of all.

Back inside, the top floor turns to accommodation, where the master suite claims its own dressing room and en-suite, with two further double bedrooms, the family bathroom and a laundry, all arranged off the landing.

Comprehensive heating options include multiple gas fires, a log burner and heat pumps, joined by extensive storage and a detached double garage, completing a home that leaves a lasting impression well beyond its architecture.

Placed within easy reach of Cashmere’s cafés and walking trails, and securing zoning for premier local schools, this property sits just 15 minutes from the city, adding the final advantage to a home of quality, character and calibre.
