Designed by Warren and Mahoney, this home reflects a disciplined architectural approach where proportion, materiality and function are carefully resolved. Set within one of Merivale's most established streets and held by only its second owners, the home represents architecture that is rarely traded and deliberately enduring.
The exterior combines cedar weatherboards with concrete block construction, creating a timeless and understated presence that sits comfortably within its established surroundings. Inside, a complete renovation has carefully enhanced the original design, retaining its architectural integrity while adapting the spaces for modern life.
The open-plan kitchen and living area is light-filled and welcoming, featuring a modern kitchen, engineered oak flooring and wool carpet that adds warmth and texture. The central living space flows effortlessly to a generous, sun-soaked patio with established gardens, providing a private setting for both relaxed living and entertaining.
Upstairs, two well-proportioned bedrooms share a fully tiled, contemporary bathroom with under-tile heating with a separate toilet, while double glazing, ceiling insulation and a heat pump ensure comfort throughout the seasons.
Practicality has been thoughtfully addressed with a covered carport and purpose-designed bike racks.
A short walk places you at Merivale's shops, cafes and eateries, with Hagley Park and the city centre close by. The home is zoned for Elmwood Normal School, Heaton Normal School, Christchurch Boys' and Girls' High Schools, with private schooling options also within easy reach.
A home of architectural pedigree, thoughtfully updated and ideally located, this is Merivale living with enduring appeal.
