Spectacular vistas
Asuperbly executed renovation partnered with all the space and solidity characteristic of a 1980s build is always going to be an outstanding success, especially when it comes with stunning views.
A timeless cedar and brick exterior, private, fenced, lowmaintenance grounds and a sheltered west-facing aspect all add to the enormous appeal of this large family home which is zoned for Mt Pleasant School.
You can add to this just a few minutes’ drive to Ferrymead supermarket and all the delights of the shops, restaurants and specialist shops, and services of Redcliffs and Sumner villages.
This is open plan living at its best, incorporating spacious living and dining areas full of sun and light opening to a large, elevated, decked entertaining area with a glass balustrade.
Floor-to-ceiling windows make the most of the home’s superb position, while grounds give you attractive outdoor areas that are high in aesthetic appeal and low on maintenance.
From almost every room, your views are across the city and water to the magnificent Southern Alps.
The views, of course, come absolutely free of charge, every day of the year.
The cleverly designed modern kitchen, finished in engineered stone and with its tiled floor, has been designed with extensive storage, including a well-fitted scullery, a large breakfast bar, dishwasher and St George double oven with a gas cooktop.
Those delegated the cooking get to enjoy the same wonderful views as those relaxing in the living areas.
Four double bedrooms, of which three open to a deck, give you peace, privacy and bird song to wake up to every morning, all of which are a vast improvement on the sound of urban traffic.
The spacious master bedroom includes an ensuite and walk-in wardrobe while the three further bedrooms plus study share a chic family bathroom with a standalone bath.
Like the rest of the home, the bedrooms and bathrooms are well appointed and decorated to a high standard.
Neutral tones throughout make this an easy home to call your own, and you can winter over in style and look forward to a summer spent almost entirely al fresco.
This property strikes that happy balance between enough space inside and out to provide good-sized spaces in which to relax and entertain while minimising ongoing maintenance.
Attractive they certainly are, but these spaces have also been designed to work well to accommodate the practical needs of everyday life, as does the separate laundry and the triple
garaging and good off-street parking, which are essential elements of any hill site.
Peace, privacy, views and well proportioned, flowing spaces make this Mt Pleasant property enormously appealing.
Superbly decorated, the white colour palette used here will provide a strong backdrop to a broad range of individual tastes.
With its masterful refurbishment into a contemporary home and its desirable location you can see why it’s going to attract a good deal of interest.
There are worse ideas, therefore, than taking advantage of the open homes this weekend to see just what this property has to offer and then heading into Redcliffs or Sumner to discuss the possibility of a prior offer over a long lunch.
