Property Description

Drawing on the revered principles of mid-century architecture, this exquisite 2020 port-quake Merivale residence offers contemporary living in beautifully composed spaces. A symphony of light and shade, textural interiors and perfectly framed outdoor views, everyday living is elevated in a home as practical as it is visually arresting. Built to exacting standards of thermal performance, clever design ensures an exceptional sense of privacy, without compromising on connection with the outdoors.

Evoking the feel of a plush hotel, the entrance corridor is a wonderfully versatile space - a perfect gallery for an art collection with enchanting 'nooks' featuring floor-to-ceiling views of lush gardens and inviting a desk, chair or sculpture. A view to greenery and a glimpse of the river draws visitors to the rear of the home, where an expanse of open-plan living is bathed in light and sun. Huge stacking sliders comprise the northern and western aspects, dissolving the divide between indoors and out, and allowing uninterrupted garden and river views. An expanse of decking offers outdoor living with an outlook across stunning gardens by Inside-Out Design. A boardwalk meanders along the western boundary and an edible garden with raised planters is handily incorporated adjacent to the kitchen. Back inside, solid timber flooring flows from the sitting area to dining and kitchen, beautifully echoed with a timber-lined ceiling showcasing exceptional quality and craftsmanship. The kitchen is a high-spec workspace with induction cooktop, entertainers' oven and an island counter in engineered stone. The luxurious primary suite enjoys Wairarapa Stream views, a WIR and plush en suite, while two more bedrooms and a bathroom occupy a separate wing. An additional room is equally suited to further living, office or a fourth bedroom, ensuring welcome flexibility. A separate laundry, coat closet and double internal-access garage complete a remarkable home.

Zoned for Elmwood School, Heaton Intermediate, Boys' High, Girls' High and Burnside High, with private schools also nearby, the education of younger family members is assured, while proximity to Merivale, Hagley Park and the central city underscores the quality of this location.
