Designed for privacy
For our vendor, the building of his family home was about 'playing with simplicity' to achieve an end result that was practical, functional and 'pleasing to the soul'. A feat which appears to have been effortlessly achieved. One of the key challenges of the 2015 build was the balance between north and south. The south side of the newly subdivided 1,675sqm* section opens up to a tributary of the Avon River, offering a tranquil and serene outdoor setting. Every room of the generous 367sqm home embraces the outdoors, which is especially evident in the central living room. Floor-to-ceiling windows and sliding doors frame the stunning backdrop, the amalgamation of the picturesque landscape, natural light and the modern interior is unlike anything on offer in today's market. Settled at the end of the driveway the contemporary exterior is a minimalist introduction to this beautiful home. The privacy that has been achieved at the entrance of the property, makes you yearn to be invited in, as intuition suggests that something special lies beyond. Blurring the lines between form and function a concealed black feature wall yields a doorway to the main bedroom creating a secret retreat, supported by an extensive walk-in robe and tiled ensuite. Two additional highly specified bathrooms support the further five sleeping quarters. The heart of the home, which is the expansive central living core, features a spacious five-meter kitchen, multiple living and dining areas. Spaces are cleverly defined with unique differences between quality materials, glass, tiles, exposed timber and polished concrete. Completing the floor-plan is a snug, separate laundry and additional coat storage which is positioned upon entrance from the internal access triple garage. Underpinning the value of this dress circle location, the property is zoned for Christchurch Girls' and Boys' High Schools, Fendalton Open Air School and Ilam School.
