POOL, SPA, TENNIS COURT & LANDSCAPED GROUNDS Designed by renowned and award-winning architect Lillian Chrystall, one of New Zealand’s first female architects to receive a national New Zealand Institute of Architects award, this beautifully crafted residence is rich in character and architectural significance. A private oasis set on 5,882 square metres (1.45 acres) of flat to gently contoured land, the property features a 248 square metre (approx) dual level, five bedroom home including garage. Constructed of board and batten, the home showcases exposed heritage brick features, stained glass windows, feature timber ceilings, redwood doors, and a tiled roof with copper spouting. Cork flooring throughout the high traffic areas complements the warmth and natural character of the timber detailing. After 47 much loved years in this special home, our motivated vendors are ready to embrace their next chapter and downsize. Double redwood doors open to the entry foyer leading to two separate living and dining areas, one comprising the family room and large light filled dining area adjoining the kitchen, the other to the living room with bay windows and a formal dining area. The spacious kitchen features abundant cabinetry, stainless steel benchtops and servery to the outdoors. Both living areas open to north-facing decks surrounded by magnificent, landscaped gardens and lawns and both feature built-in fires with brick surrounds. The prolific use of timber complements the expanse of windows in this architecturally designed home, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. Beautiful garden views can be enjoyed from every room, while the three downstairs bedrooms, all with built-in wardrobes, offer seamless indoor-outdoor flow. Also on this level is a large laundry with generous storage and outdoor access, along with a separate toilet and a family bathroom featuring a skylight, bath, and shower.
