Nestled in a glorious garden setting, Rochdale is a beautiful single-level residence that pairs the charm of the 1930s with luxurious contemporary living - the result of a renovation by Kerry Mason. A corner section brings abundant light and space, while secure fencing and mature plantings ensure complete privacy. North-facing open-plan living flows seamlessly to the outdoors, creating an exceptional setting for relaxed living in a highly desirable neighbourhood. With a short walk to the in-zone schools of Boy's and Girl's High and to Mona Vale, Hagley Park and Riccarton Bush market, and a five minute drive to Merivale, Riccarton or the city, this is a perfect position for families.
Behind the entrance gates, a portico adds another layer of privacy to the secret garden beyond. Inside, original features sit alongside contemporary finishes, creating rich, textured interiors. A generous casual living and dining area is overlooked by a high-spec kitchen with a walk-in pantry, and a second living space sits alongside. French doors open to an abundance of outdoor living, set in a Mediterranean garden full of flowers with a fountain, garden studio, and petanque court. To the rear, a covered sitting area, mature trees and a private deck with spa power make the most of the 867 sqm grounds while keeping maintenance manageable. Modern security, automation and two ducted heat pumps give the benefits of a new home in a setting that would take decades to match.
The spacious master bedroom opens to the garden and has a walk-in wardrobe and luxe ensuite, while three further bedrooms share a family bathroom. Behind the double garage, a studio with its own bathroom offers a versatile multi-use space that is ideal as a home office, retreat or teenager den.
Zoned for Fendalton School, Ilam School, Kirkwood Intermediate, Boys' High, Girls' High and Burnside High, this stylish home will appeal to anyone looking for contemporary living with character and charm.
