Timeless charm and elegance
Premier Property this week is a magnificent home set on two acres of impressive gardens and will appeal to a family with older children, a professional couple, or a retiring couple who still desire some land and garden to tend while being close to Timaru.
Just ten minutes by car to downtown Timaru, this private and sunny property offers the country lifestyle you’ve been dreaming of with all the benefits of being close to town.
Built in 1996 by Wilson Brown (now known as Wilson Building) for the current owners, the superior finishing of the home inside is matched by the stunning mountain and garden views outside.
An open kitchen/dining and living area is spacious, warm and inviting.
These north facing rooms are sunny and light with panoramic views from large picture windows across farmland to mountain ranges.
The elegant kitchen boasts plenty of bench space and storage, a pantry, butler’s sink, stainless steel dishwasher, 6 burner gas hob and electric oven.
A separate dining area opens out to a terrace overlooking the garden which leads down to the superb outdoor entertaining area with an outdoor fireplace and a 26 Rosebook Road is on the market for $950,000.

A log burner in the living area warms the whole house which is mostly double glazed.
A more formal second reception room, also with terrific views, is reached through double doors from the open living area.
Two splendid double bedrooms, a roomy bathroom with separate shower and bath, a separate toilet and a well appointed laundry room complete the downstairs.
Upstairs, a large, comfortable master bedroom features a luxury en suite with shower and spa bath, and a good size walk-in wardrobe.
The master also features detailing such as a laundry shute to the downstairs, and a sink and power point station for coffee and tea making. An adjoining room to the master could be used as a fourth bedroom, or a home office/ study or studio.
Doors from the master and the adjoining room both open onto a private terrace with terrific views.
Drive down to the huge triple garage which has internal access plus two large storage areas and which could be used as a workshop space or even has potential for a home office.
The park-like gardens have been lovingly developed over the last 20 years and now comprise a pond and water feature and thriving species of specimen trees and plantings with pathways throughout.
This lovely, modern home has exceptional details such as an alarm system, many storage options, retractable fly screens on doors opening to the outside, and is sited for all day sun in the living areas.
