High above Christchurch, and tucked away down a private lane you’ll find this four-bedroom home with wide views across the city and beyond. Renovations to the property have enhanced the post-earthquake integrity of the house, but have also transformed it into a showstopper. Masonry makes a striking feature and the sleek black front door welcomes visitors to the house, which enjoys the look and vibe of a boutique hotel. The open-plan ground floor is all about easy living and comfort. Heated tiled flooring and a double-sided fireplace add warmth and style. The elegant wood-and-white kitchen is complemented by built-in bookcases in both living areas. A serene palette and use of natural materials throughout the 303sqm house add timeless appeal. Spilling from the living areas is a wide terrace with a plunge pool. There’s plenty of room here for relaxing, dining and taking in the panorama. Frameless glass balustrades ensure sea and city vistas are uninterrupted. Upstairs, the main bedroom suite is a sanctuary providing yet more opportunities to soak up the views. After its extensive renovation, this home is perfectly polished and thoroughly up to date – an enduring classic.
