Steeped in characterful charm and complete with all the comforts of contemporary living, this Christchurch modern classic is a dream come true. From the weatherboard exterior to the internal doors, bespoke wallpaper, and custom handrails, the home embodies the owners’ exacting vision.

A whopping 535sqm interior houses two living spaces, five bedrooms (four with ensuites), plus two further bathrooms and a powder room. Inside is beautifully connected to a number of alfresco spaces. Each portico is equipped with a louvred roof to maximise use. The stunning swimming pool is nestled nicely against the pool house, making this the perfect environment in which to relax and unwind.

Technology is seamlessly integrated into this luxurious home. The well-equipped kitchen serves up state-of-the-art mod cons in a spacious and luxurious setting. The scullery is an entertainer’s discreet sidekick, keeping clutter out of sight.

TVs have been included in every room as per owner instructions – there’s even one in the master wardrobe.
