What's around 159 Idris Road

Architecturally Inspired!

Information Pack - Please click the link below and complete the form. Once submitted, a link to the Property Files will be emailed to you - https://www.propertyfiles.co.nz/property/L42979123 Elegant, private and utterly effortless to live in, this oasis is a dream come true for those who delight in getting lost in their garden. A truly unique home, it draws on the architectural influence of Margaret Munro, who is understood to have worked alongside the noted architect Cecil Wood. Her influence can be felt throughout this special residence, creating a home that is both distinctive and deeply connected to its garden setting. Nestled in the heart of Strowan with a pool, two patios and a meticulously tended garden, this 1960s home is an idyllic marriage of sanctuary living and English country estate. And while the 703m2 site feels a world away, shops, schools and the city are never far, making this ideal for downsizers and families. Through the gate, the home unfurls to reveal two double bedrooms, a well-appointed bathroom, two toilets and multiple living areas both inside and out. Off the modern galley kitchen, the open plan dining and lounge open onto patio number one, where the pool awaits. (It's not hard to picture your weekends out here!) Back inside, a large family room with adjoining sunroom opens to patio number two and the estate-esque gardens. With superb light and lovely outlooks from every window, there's no bad seat in the house. And with scope to turn the sunroom into a third bedroom or extend, this could be your forever home. Rounding things off are a separate laundry, heatpump, gas fire and HRV system. Outside, the first area is a sheltered pocket with the pool and its own patio. The second extends from a sunny patio into lawns, pathways and greenery that cocoon you in calm. From coffee with friends to family gatherings, it captures the spirit of a manor house on a more manageable scale. A single garage with internal access and off-street parking seal the deal. Within five minutes of Merivale, Fendalton and Northlands Malls, everyday errands couldn't be easier. Hagley Park and the city is an easy commute and public transport is closeby. Families are covered with zoning for CGHS, CBHS, Heaton Int. & Waimairi Primary, while Merivale's prestigious private schools nearby are the cherry on top. A real labour of love for our current owners, this home is one in a million. Ready to swap the rush for a slower, sunnier pace? Give me a call and let's arrange a viewing.
