Set against the peaceful backdrop of the Wairarapa Stream, this exceptional Fendalton residence combines timeless architecture with uncompromising quality in one of Christchurch's most tightly held locations. Designed by renowned architect Kerry Mason for his family and constructed from solid-filled concrete block, every element of this home has been created to stand the test of time while delivering an effortless family lifestyle.
Beyond the striking façade, soaring ceilings, expansive glazing and warm timber flooring create an immediate sense of space and light. Designed for both everyday living and entertaining, multiple interconnected living areas offer flexibility for growing families, while a separate lounge captures tranquil stream views and provides a peaceful retreat from the heart of the home. The beautifully appointed kitchen is a statement in both form and function. Engineered stone benchtops, premium appliances, extensive storage and exceptional craftsmanship combine to create a space equally suited to busy family life or entertaining on a grand scale. Large sliding and bi-fold doors blur the line between indoors and out, opening to a private riverside setting where landscaped grounds surround a heated in-ground swimming pool. It's an outdoor environment designed for long summer afternoons, family gatherings and effortless entertaining. Accommodation is thoughtfully positioned upstairs, where four generous bedrooms provide excellent separation from the living spaces below. The master suite enjoys a walk-in wardrobe and beautifully finished ensuite, while the remaining bedrooms are serviced by a stylish family bathroom. Luxury continues throughout with underfloor heating, gas fireplaces, extensive storage, a wine cellar and generous internal-access garaging, ensuring comfort and practicality are never compromised.
Positioned moments from both Fendalton Village and Merivale Mall, the location is every bit as impressive as the home itself. Families will appreciate zoning for sought-after Fendalton School, Christchurch Boys' High School and Christchurch Girls' High School, while some of the city's leading private schools, including St Andrew's College and Rangi Ruru Girls' School, are also within easy reach. Architecturally significant, meticulously crafted and occupying one of Fendalton's most desirable streamside settings, this is a home that delivers exceptional living today while offering enduring value for generations to come.
