38A Straven Road, Riccarton, Christchurch City, Canterbury

Art and architecture converge in this striking new residence by the award-winning team at JTB Architects, developed by LARK Developments and constructed by Holmes Construction - a name synonymous with enduring quality. Thoughtfully designed and impeccably executed, this four-bedroom standalone home is a confident addition to this sought-after location.

Privately positioned as the rear of two high-end homes, the spacious residence is defined by restraint, balance, and craftsmanship. Inside, timber flooring, muted tones, and tactile finishes set a calm, refined mood, while double-height and raking ceilings lend a sense of volume and architectural drama. A north-west orientation ensures the open-plan living domain is flooded with natural light throughout the day.

The kitchen is both sculptural and practical, anchored by a generous island and supported by a well-appointed scullery - designed for everyday living and effortless entertaining. Large sliders and stacker doors extend the living space outdoors to a deck, wrap-around garden, and secluded alfresco areas, blurring the line between interior and exterior. A separate media lounge offers a more intimate retreat.

Downstairs, a guest bedroom or alternative master suite features a walk-in wardrobe and fully tiled ensuite, while provisional lift access future-proofs the home. Upstairs, the primary suite delivers understated luxury with a walk-in wardrobe, a beautifully tiled ensuite with underfloor heating, freestanding bath, and twin wall-hung vanity. Two further double bedrooms, a family bathroom, and a dedicated study complete the upper level.

Comfort and performance are embedded throughout, with ducted heating and cooling, a gas fire, under-tile heating, guest powder room, separate laundry, extensive storage, sleek custom cabinetry, double internal-access garaging, and additional off-street parking.

The location is equally compelling. Zoned for Boys' and Girls' High Schools and close to excellent private schooling options, the home sits within a vibrant inner-urban neighbourhood. Westfield Riccarton's cafes and boutiques, Hagley Park, Mona Vale, the Riccarton Bush Farmers' Market and the CBD are all effortlessly within reach.

Architecturally grounded, meticulously crafted, and intuitively liveable, this is a home that elevates everyday life. As completion approaches, so too does the opportunity to secure something truly special.

Viewings by appointment - this home must be experienced in person to appreciate the scale, finishes, and natural light. Contact Andrea or Cameron to arrange a private viewing.
