Property Description

Art meets architecture in this masterpiece from the award-winning team at JTB Architects and LARK Developments. On completion, every element of this four-bedroom standalone home – from its timber floors to its double-height ceilings – will bear the hallmarks of the best of contemporary design and construction.

The front residence of two homes of 256 m2 (approx.), this high-end addition to the Riccarton streetscape promises masses of curb appeal. Inside, muted tones and finishes reflect the colours and textures of the home. Its northwest orientation means plenty of sun and natural light in the private, open-plan living area. Glass sliders connect this with a secluded, al fresco entertaining area and separate outdoor dining area.

The kitchen, complete with a generous scullery and sizeable island, pairs design flair with the practical demands of modern living. The central living quarter extends through stacker doors to a deck and wrap-around garden that is fully fenced, blurring the boundary between indoor refinement and outdoor relaxation. A separate lounge/media room allows for quiet viewing (or noisy gaming). Also downstairs is a well-appointed guest bedroom - or master suite - complete with walk-in-wardrobe and fully tiled ensuite. Optional lift access between floors helps future-proof the home.

Upstairs, the master suite is as luxurious as you would expect in a home of this quality – walk-in wardrobe, large tiled ensuite with under-tile heating, separate bath and wall-hung twin vanity. Two more double bedrooms are served by a tiled family bathroom. The dedicated study is a welcome addition.

The list of features continues – ducted heating and cooling system, gas fire and under-tile heating to keep the elements at bay, guest powder room, separate laundry, additional storage and sleek cabinetry throughout, double internal-access garaging and additional onsite parking.

Location is another big drawcard. The home is zoned for Boys' & Girls' High, with a choice of nearby private schools also. A vibrant, inner-urban neighbourhood is on the doorstep – it’s just a short stroll to the cafes and boutiques of Westfield Riccarton or the green space of nearby Hagley Park. Commute to the central city by bike or by short drive – this home is an ideal choice for families, professionals, downsizers or anyone seeking a stylish and comfortable lifestyle close to the CBD.

Building Consent submission imminent – construction and titles to be completed late 2025.
