Overview

Sorry, now SOLD!

Designed by architect Thom Craig, this award winning executive home has a sublime outlook to the Avon River and Little Hagley Park. Tucked down the private Millbank Lane and constructed in 2001, it won a New Zealand Institute of Architect’s regional award recognising its well considered design. Its form, function and timeless style has endured over the years and it remains a home out of the ordinary. The current out of town owner has enjoyed the lock and leave lifestyle that it offers, but now that her children have completed tertiary education, the home is ready for its next custodians to enjoy as is or enhance - presenting an exceptional opportunity for astute purchasers. Downstairs comprises the open plan kitchen, dining and living – all zones enjoy the river and park outlook. There is a feature gas fire in the living room, partial in-floor heating and ducted air-conditioning for climate control. With east and west aspects in the living rooms, natural light and warmth is abundant in the all important morning and afternoons. With direct access to two sheltered courtyards in addition to the river frontage, you have a multitude of outdoor options to enjoy at different times of the day. Ascend the floating stair case to the upper level where you will find three bedrooms. The primary bedroom offers exceptional views of Hagley Park and the river below and is complemented by an ensuite bathroom and generous wardrobe storage. The other two bedrooms share the family bathroom. A multi-purpose open plan space on the upstairs landing would be ideal as a home office, a quiet reading library or potentially an area for yoga or other indoor exercise activities. A carpeted double internal access garage plus off-street tandem parking provides excellent parking for vehicles or a boat. Launch your canoe directly into the Avon, start your run from the front lawn through to Hagley Park or walk to nearby Merivale village shops and bars. You will adore the convenience of living in this sought after location. School choices are as good as it gets, being moments to the nearby private schools while also being in zone for CBHS, CGHS, Elmwood Primary and Heaton Intermediate. We expect this property would be very suitable as a second home for out-of-town families or would be equally perfect for families, professionals and executive couples as a permanent home. Enjoy this home as is or adorn and enhance without fear of over capitalising in this special pocket of Merivale. The CBD and Merivale village are both within easy reach making this property attractive should you wish to rent short term (60 nights visitor accommodation per annum is permitted with council registration). Our out-of-town Vendor has enjoyed her tenure here but is motivated to sell. To download the property file, copy and paste the following link: https://propertyfiles.co.nz/property/936880004
