Positioned on a quiet, tree-lined street within one of Fendalton's most consistently prized enclaves, this substantial family residence sits on an impressive 1,083sqm (more or less) freehold site. A sense of scale and privacy is immediately apparent, offering an opportunity to secure a significant landholding in a location where demand remains enduring.

Designed by David Hill of Wilson and Hill Architects and solidly constructed and clad with plaster over concrete block, the home speaks to longevity and understated quality. At its heart, an expansive open-plan kitchen, dining and living zone forms the central hub of daily life. Polished timber floors ground the space, while generous proportions allow for both relaxed family living and effortless entertaining. The kitchen features a walk-in pantry and excellent workspace, supported by a separate laundry with direct outdoor access for everyday practicality. A separate formal lounge provides an additional living option, enhanced by high ceilings and a skylight that draws natural light deep into the home. Both living spaces connect seamlessly to the outdoors.

Accommodation is thoughtfully configured across two levels. The primary suite is located on the ground floor, offering a private retreat complete with a walk-in wardrobe, dedicated study area and ensuite. Upstairs, three further bedrooms are well supported by a tiled family bathroom, while a separate powder room on the ground floor adds convenience for guests.

Comfort has been carefully considered, with two heat pumps, zoned in-slab heating throughout the ground floor, and under-tile heating in the upstairs bathroom ensuring year-round ease.

Outdoor living is equally well resolved. A patio oriented to the north-west extends from both living areas, creating an ideal setting for entertaining, while the fully fenced lawn and garden provide a safe, sun-filled environment for children and pets. An attached double garage with attic storage provides secure parking and excellent additional storage, reinforcing the home's functional design.

The location is exceptional with easy access to the city centre and close proximity to some of Christchurch's most valued green spaces, including Mona Vale and Hagley Park. Zoning for Fendalton School, Cobham Intermediate, and Christchurch Girls' and Boys' High Schools further underpins the long-term appeal, with Christchurch Boys' High School within easy walking distance.

A home of grandeur and opportunity in a blue-chip setting, this is a compelling offering that balances scale, comfort and enduring value. For further information or to arrange a viewing, contact Sarah Eastmond or Chris Jones.
