Designed to Gather

A Cashmere Estate home built around real life: four bedrooms, two bathrooms plus a powder room, two separate living areas, and a double garage across 224m², set into one of Christchurch's most sought-after hillside settings. The street elevation sets the tone immediately. Two gabled pavilions, one finished in crisp Resene Rockcote Cerano plaster, the other in dark James Hardie Oblique cladding, sit under black gable rooflines and are drawn together by a low, glazed entry link. Step inside and a private internal courtyard, planted with mature tree ferns and framed by full-height glazing on two sides, threads natural light and greenery straight through the centre of the plan. Scissor truss ceilings lift the open-plan kitchen, dining and living space, with twin skylights washing the room in natural light throughout the day. The designer kitchen anchors it all: soft white cabinetry with warm timber accents, a full-height tiled splashback, and a generous waterfall-edge island built as much for everyday family life as for entertaining. A second, separate living area gives the household room to spread out and live the way they actually want to, not just how the floor plan assumes. The master suite is a genuine retreat, with a freestanding bath, a fully tiled walk-in shower with feature niche, and its own quiet outlook. A second bathroom and separate powder room serve the remaining three bedrooms with ease. Outside, a sheltered internal courtyard sits alongside a second, more open lawn and deck at the rear, bordered by a timber-retained garden that makes the most of the section's natural fall.
