Clad in striking black Canadian shiplap cedar and privately positioned amongst thoughtfully landscaped grounds, this exceptional single-level residence is a masterclass in contemporary architectural design. Its distinctive U-shaped footprint has been carefully conceived to embrace natural light, allowing the sun to move gracefully around the home throughout the day while creating a seamless connection to sheltered outdoor living.
A sun-drenched gallery hallway introduces the home with understated elegance, where expansive tiling and clean architectural lines establish an immediate sense of calm. This welcoming spine leads past two generous bedrooms, a fully tiled bathroom and spacious separate laundry before opening into the home's beautifully connected living spaces.
At the centre, the designer kitchen and dining area forms the social hub, positioned perfectly between two distinct living zones. Embracing the home's sophisticated dark palette, the kitchen features a substantial stone island and quality appliances. One living area is warmed by a gas fire and bespoke built-in cabinetry, while the second, more relaxed zone incorporates a discreetly integrated office nook. French oak flooring adds warmth and balance, while morning and evening courtyards provide private outdoor retreats.
Impressive floor-to-ceiling glazing draws natural light deep into the interiors, while expansive sliding doors dissolve the boundary between inside and out, extending the living spaces to a sheltered deck and minimalist landscaped gardens designed for effortless alfresco entertaining.
The landscaping is intentionally restrained, allowing the bold architectural form to remain the hero. Lush native planting softens the exterior, while a magnificent specimen magnolia provides a sculptural focal point.
Occupying the far wing, the master suite offers a peaceful sanctuary with generous walk-in wardrobe, private ensuite and direct access to its own sundrenched courtyard. Adjacent, the fourth bedroom and fully tiled bathroom create an ideal family wing, thoughtfully positioned for those with younger children.
Year-round comfort is assured with hydronic underfloor heating, a ducted balanced ventilation system and solar panels, enhancing both liveability and energy efficiency.
An internal-access double garage provides convenient rear garden access, complemented by generous off-street parking.
Within easy reach of both Fendalton Village and Elmwood Village, with their boutique shopping, cafes and everyday conveniences, the home is also conveniently positioned for the city. Coveted zoning for Wairakei Primary School, Cobham Intermediate and Burnside High School further enhances its appeal.
Architecturally compelling and impeccably executed, this post-earthquake residence is one of genuine distinction - balancing thoughtful design, everyday comfort and enduring quality with effortless sophistication. More than simply a home, it is a private sanctuary where exceptional architecture, natural light and family living exist in perfect harmony.
