86 Wairakei Road, Strowan, Canterbury

Sophisticated street appeal is just the beginning for this beautifully crafted contemporary home positioned in a central location for incredible convenience whether your commute takes you to the CBD, airport or elsewhere. Designed by Duncan Cartwright of White Box Productions, exceptional attention to detail has resulted in a home that is warm, quiet and comfortable. Think 140mm thick walls and wool insulation to the walls and ceilings that is well above Building Code requirements. Thermally broken double-glazing with Low E Max and Hush acoustic laminate, complemented by timber flooring on insulating acoustic underlay, ensure the utmost energy-efficiency and noise reduction. Generous proportions, great indoor-outdoor living and zoning for sought-after schools, including Boys' High and Girls' High, Burnside High, make this an exciting proposition for family living.

From the entrance, where a tantalising glimpse of the garden beyond hints at the design talent at play here, the timber flooring, muted colour palette and large windows create the sense of a light-filled gallery, leading through to an expanse of open-plan living. A beautifully appointed kitchen is the central hub for family living and entertaining, with a large island breakfast bar, two wall ovens, tiled splash-back and walk-in pantry. Huge, glazed sliders connect sun-drenched decking in a garden designed by Kamo Marsh Landscape Architects. To the east, stacking sliders open to a smaller second deck, positioned to catch the morning sun. Back inside, the kitchen looks out across the dining area to sumptuous living with gas fire. A ducted heat-pump adds further comfort with year-round climate control. Back towards the entrance, a separate lounge provides more intimate alternative living, while a rumpus room over the garage - with its own separate staircase - is a great addition providing a wide range of possible uses. Accommodation is nestled in the main upstairs wing, with a serene master bedroom boasting WIR and tiled en suite, plus another three more double bedrooms served by a family bathroom with separate bath. An additional shower room downstairs ensures harmonious family living, and there's a well-appointed laundry and triple internal-access garage. With plenty of off-street parking, all secured behind an electric gate, this home ticks all the boxes for convenient living.

Zoned for Waimairi School, Fendalton School, Cobham Intermediate, Heaton Intermediate and Burnside High, with St Andrew's College and other private schools also nearby, the educational options are enviable. Stroll to Elmwood Village for neighbourhood dining or drive just a few moments to Fendalton Village, Merivale Mall or Northlands Shopping Centre. Hagley Park and the central city are just down the road, with the airport a few minutes in the other direction. This stunning home offers an impressive new level of contemporary family living.
