Peaceful retreat
Undeniable aesthetic appeal, a classic exterior, contemporary interior and a Merivale address are the start of a long list of reasons why you’re going to love this new executive townhouse.
You can add to that the serene white spaces opening to the private, north-facing grounds and a whole lot of style with minimal upkeep and a lock-and-leave capability and a 10-year Master Build Guarantee.
This well-proportioned townhouse, completed this year, offers flowing spaces and is perfectly positioned in one of Merivale’s most popular streets.
This is a dwelling that is undoubtedly going to attract a good deal of interest from those looking for a home that will not only stand the test of time but also places them firmly front and centre for some of Christchurch’s best schools.
In the zone for Elmwood School, Heaton Intermediate, Christchurch Boys’ High School and, from 2019, Christchurch Girls’ High School, it also offers easy access to Christchurch’s private schools.
The largely neutral white and charcoal colour palette used throughout the home is accentuated by the use of imported wallpapers and a high quality of finish.
Its first owners will find they have a whole lot of options when it comes to creating their own style in this well-specified home that has successfully partnered style with comfort in a well-executed build.
Sleek and uncluttered, there is, however, nothing minimalist about the space on offer here, with generous living and dining areas, three bedrooms, two bathrooms and an office area.
Offering a good amount of storage with its floor-to-ceiling cabinetry, the well-equipped kitchen has direct access to the utility area to the side of the house and is adjacent to the combined living and dining area.
Like the rest of the home, the kitchen is elegantly simple, offering good food preparation areas while avoiding unnecessary features that would interrupt its clean lines.
The light-filled dining and living areas open to a fully fenced hardwood deck and patio, keeping pets and small children safely within the property and allowing you to enjoy the beauty of a sunfilled garden without the usual upkeep.
Double-glazing, wall and ceiling insulation and a combination of underfloor heating and heat pumps keep you warmly accommodated over winter while looking forward to a summer dining al fresco.
Thick, soft carpet in a deep charcoal colour is throughout most of the house, giving it a distinctly luxurious feel and two of the three bedrooms upstairs enjoy a private balcony with a glass balustrade.
The main bedroom enjoys a beautifully appointed ensuite and built-in wardrobe, while a similarly, highly appointed bathroom services the remaining two bedrooms.
The office area is accommodated on the landing and also has access to the balcony.
Set in easy-care grounds which include a separate laundry and double garaging with internal access and additional off-street
parking, this is a peaceful retreat that remains conveniently close to everything you need for easy living.
The delights of the retail, cafe´ and restaurant precinct of Merivale are a short walk away, as are a multitude of services and facilities. Not surprisingly, the location of this attractive property is a major drawcard.
Designed to please year-round, it’s a well-designed property that makes very good use of its northern aspect.
For families having to make decisions around schools, this home is well placed for some of the most desirable and prestigious primary and secondary schools in Christchurch.
Those wanting a head start on the auction in just 12 days should make a determined effort to see it before it goes under the hammer.
