Overview

Position, Presence, Perfection

Set within one of Merivale’s most sought-after addresses, this substantial executive residence has been essentially rebuilt to deliver the look, feel and performance of a new luxury home — while enjoying the established presence and exceptional location of a much-loved Merivale neighbourhood. Just moments from Merivale’s celebrated shopping, dining and cafe precinct, this is a home that pairs contemporary sophistication with an enviable lifestyle address. Across two generous levels, beautifully proportioned interiors, premium materials and effortless indoor-outdoor flow create an impressive environment for both everyday living and entertaining. Contemporary luxury, beautifully considered The expansive open-plan kitchen, dining and living area forms the social heart of the home, with a high-performance kitchen featuring premium appliances and generous space for entertaining. Dual sliders extend the living outdoors to substantial new decking and landscaped entertaining areas, creating a seamless setting for long lunches, evening drinks or simply enjoying the sunshine. A second spacious living room provides valuable separation and flexibility — an elegant retreat for relaxed evenings or a sophisticated space when entertaining guests. Genuine oak flooring, premium solution-dyed carpeting and a carefully considered material palette add warmth and refinement, while the extensive rebuilding and upgrades deliver the comfort and finish of a new home. A private master retreat Accommodation is thoughtfully arranged with three bedrooms plus a dedicated office or fourth bedroom, providing flexibility for family living, guests or working from home. The ground-floor master suite is a particular highlight, offering a sense of privacy and retreat with a generous walk-in wardrobe and luxurious fully tiled ensuite, complete with underfloor heating. Upstairs, the beautifully appointed family bathroom is finished with contemporary detailing and a freestanding bath, creating a refined space for everyday relaxation. Outdoor entertaining, effortlessly connected The outdoor spaces have been designed with entertaining and enjoyment in mind, with extensive new decking, landscaped areas and generous space for outdoor living. Private, sunny and beautifully connected to the main living areas, it is an ideal setting for entertaining or simply relaxing outdoors without the upkeep of a traditional garden-focused property. The best of Merivale Location is a defining advantage. From here, Merivale’s boutique shopping, renowned cafés, restaurants and everyday amenities are just moments away, while the surrounding streets offer the established character and prestige for which the suburb is so highly regarded. Schooling is equally compelling, with zoning for CGHS, CBHS, Heaton Intermediate and Elmwood School, together with a selection of highly regarded private schools within easy reach. The finish of new, the address of established Merivale Essentially rebuilt from the ground up, the home now offers the confidence and convenience of a freshly completed residence, including new double glazing, contemporary exterior cladding and roofing, upgraded heating, beautifully resolved interiors, refreshed landscaping and a newly laid driveway. Further features include three downstairs heat pumps, ducted heating upstairs, a stylish guest powder room, fully fitted separate laundry, excellent storage, double internal-access garaging and generous off-street parking. With immediate possession available and our vendors committed to achieving a result, this is a rare opportunity to secure a luxury residence in an established blue-chip Merivale setting — combining exceptional quality, generous proportions and a location that needs little introduction. A home of substance, sophistication and outstanding convenience. Viewing is highly recommended. Copy and paste for property files - https://www.propertyfiles.co.nz/property/5530722
