Framed by intimate, sweeping water views over Moncks Bay, this substantial family home enjoys a prized lower-slope position on 803sqm of level land, offering a rare balance of outlook, space and ease in a highly desirable hillside setting. Built in 2001 and enhanced in 2006 with the addition of a second-floor bedroom and ensuite, the home reflects a considered approach to space and longevity. Spanning approximately 360sqm, its generous layout brings together scale, flow and flexibility to support refined yet practical family living. A grand entrance with over-height ceilings and a striking staircase introduces a well-considered layout, featuring four bedrooms upstairs and a versatile ground-floor fifth bedroom or home office. Two bedrooms include ensuites, complemented by a family bathroom and guest toilet, providing comfort and functionality for everyday living and hosting. At the heart of the home, open-plan kitchen, living and dining spaces have been redesigned post-quake and remain timelessly contemporary while providing a welcoming hub for family life and entertaining. Partial underfloor heating, a double-sided gas fireplace and quality finishes create warmth and cohesion, while the well-appointed kitchen with induction cooktop and dual ovens is designed to bring people together. Bi-fold doors extend the living outdoors to a west-facing terrace, connecting to a level lawn and low-maintenance gardens - an easy, usable outdoor space for relaxing or entertaining. Year-round comfort is enhanced by extensive double glazing, two heat pumps, excellent storage and an oversized internal-access garage. Just minutes from Redcliffs village, Sumner Beach and with easy access to the Christchurch CBD, this is a home where location, outlook and liveability align with ease.
