ARCHITECTURAL PRESENCE MEETS EVERYDAY EASE
In a suburb renowned for quality homes and established prestige, it takes something truly special to turn heads year after year. This Fendalton residence has done exactly that - quietly admired by passers-by, respected for its design integrity, and enjoyed for the lifestyle it so effortlessly delivers.
Designed by the acclaimed Wilson & Hill Architects, the home is a confident statement in contemporary architecture. Copper cladding weathers gracefully against crisp concrete panels, while cedar softens the form and anchors it warmly within its setting. Inside, solid timber flooring introduces natural texture and warmth, creating a seamless dialogue between structure and comfort.
The layout is intelligently thought out for modern living. Open-plan kitchen, dining and living areas form the central hub - expansive yet inviting, refined yet relaxed. Generous glazing allows natural light to pour in from morning through evening, creating the light-filled, uplifting environment so many buyers seek but rarely find.
A separate lounge provides flexibility - an ideal retreat for quiet evenings or media enjoyment, while a dedicated office space offers work-from-home practicality. Cleverly positioned alongside a full bathroom, this room would easily convert to
a ground-floor bedroom, presenting an appealing option for those desiring a downstairs master suite.
Outdoors, the home truly comes into its own. Sun-drenched patios wrap the living zones, offering unencumbered sunshine throughout the day. Whether it’s morning coffee, afternoon entertaining or long summer evenings, these sheltered outdoor spaces extend the living areas beautifully and enhance the home’s enviable “lock ‘n’ leave” appeal. Practicality has not been overlooked. Double garaging is complemented by excellent off-street parking - a valuable asset in this tightly held location.
And location, as always in Fendalton, speaks volumes. Within easy reach of the University of Canterbury, close to both Fendalton Mall and Merivale Mall, and convenient to the vibrant retail precincts of Riccarton and Upper Riccarton, the address places daily amenities within effortless reach. Zoning for Christchurch Boys’ High School and Christchurch Girls’ High School further reinforces the enduring value proposition.
Architecturally significant yet eminently liveable, striking yet welcoming, this is a home that balances bold design with thoughtful functionality. A residence admired from the street, and even more compelling once inside.
