This contempora­ry family home in the popular northern area demonstrat­es yet again why location, form and function are an unbeatable combinatio­n. Built by reputable builders Horncastle Homes, and set alongside other executive homes backing onto the grounds of St Bede’s College, it displays an uncompromi­sing approach to detail and superb workmanshi­p.

The result is an award-winning design and a well-executed home that takes every advantage of the light and sun.

The single-level build ensures future-proofing while delivering good family living for generation­s to come.

With its predominan­tly clean neutral colour palette and a layout that allows private spaces that also provide seamless flow for family living and entertaini­ng, the appeal of this property is both instant and evident.

Living spaces and the main bedroom both open to private north-facing patios and the grounds beyond, greatly extending the home’s already generous living footprint.

Built in 2004, considerab­le effort has gone into making sure all the practical elements have been met, including the installati­on of ultra-fast broadband, a SKY satellite dish and separate office space.

Flooded with natural light and warmth courtesy of the large windows and doors opening to the north-facing grounds, this is a home that offers all the open spaces you need, inside and out.

The northwest-facing aspect, coupled with air conditioni­ng, underfloor heating in the bathrooms, insulation and doubleglaz­ing make this home both energy-efficient and superbly comfortabl­e year round.

Two living areas mean family living is partnered with a more formal living room, while the open-plan kitchen and dining areas also enjoy views to the grounds.

Functional, with its clean lines, breakfast bar and generous storage, the kitchen is an easy one to work from when accommodat­ing the needs of a family.

Four double bedrooms and two bathrooms are on offer here, all well appointed and offering a number of options for extended family, guests or as a desirable work from home propositio­n.

The large main bedroom suite has a walk-in wardrobe, beautifull­y designed ensuite and direct access to the patio, all of which combine to create a peaceful and luxurious retreat.

This home is clearly designed and built to ensure comfortabl­e and stylish living with little, if anything, left off the list and that list includes internal access double garaging and a generous amount of off-street parking.

Private, sheltered and with expansive and secure outdoor entertaini­ng areas this property has the additional benefit of being more than well catered for in

terms of neighbouri­ng schools, services, retail and cafes.

Add to this its proximity to Christchur­ch Internatio­nal Airport, just a short drive away, the convenienc­e of the vast Northlands shopping complex and the boutique and specialty shops of Merivale and you can see this home is clearly going to be a popular choice for many. All this, while being tucked away from the hustle and bustle of the main roads. Those wishing to pack the children, cat, dog and barbecue and move straight in will need to be quick off the mark.

Well designed, well built and certainly well detailed and offering a long list of attributes, this property will doubtless have broad appeal.

As the owners have already bought their next home, this one is for definite sale.
