47 Waiwetu Street, Fendalton, Christchurch City, Canterbury

Hewn of Oamaru Stone, this impressive contemporary home conveys a sense of timeless luxury further enhanced by a magical setting with a Wairarapa Stream boundary to the north. Exceptional indoor-outdoor living, beautifully styled interiors exuding refined elegance, and an abundance of space and light combine here for a truly magnificent home. Occupying 1,270 sqm of blue-chip real estate in one of the city's most highly regarded streets, this is quintessential Fendalton in a quiet enclave of high-calibre homes just moments from amenities. A choice of living areas make entertaining effortless and family living a pleasure. The open-plan casual living and dining space opens to the north, with bi-fold doors pushing back to effortlessly connect manicured gardens and a view of the river against a backdrop of mature trees. A gas fire in a stone feature wall provides ambient warmth and the kitchen alongside is a high-spec workspace with a well-appointed scullery to make light work of catering for a crowd. An east-facing patio opening off the dining area is ideal for morning coffee or weekend brunches. Positioned alongside the casual living space is a more formal lounge, also north-facing, and flowing to a covered al fresco entertaining area and stunning sun-drenched barbeque zone with outdoor kitchen. A separate media room provides yet another living option, while a downstairs space, currently utilised as a gym, could equally serve as a wine cellar or rumpus area. The upstairs master bedroom is a five-star retreat with its own gas fire, treetop views, WIR and tiled en suite bathroom with separate bath. Two more large double bedrooms on this level share a 'Jack 'n' Jill' en suite and a fourth bedroom downstairs also has direct bathroom access. A fifth bedroom upstairs (or extra living) is served by an additional bathroom. Triple internal-access garaging completes a beautiful illustration of luxurious contemporary living.
