5 Loader Lane, Sumner, Canterbury

With a vista from the Pacific Ocean to the Kaikouras and city, this exceptional new home offers an elevated standard of contemporary living. Opening up to northwest sun and light, easy drive-on access and wonderful indoor-outdoor flow to low-maintenance grounds add up to hill living without compromise. A five-minute drive to Sumner Beach and the village, with all its restaurants and shops, ensures a lifestyle that's hard to beat.

The main, open-plan living is light-filled, with a soaring stud height and huge glazed doors allowing uninterrupted access to the balcony and, of course, those stunning views. A log-burner adds winter warmth and stacking sliders push back to connect decking to the rear - perfectly sheltered for outdoor living and nestled amidst gardens landscaped to reflect the surrounding environment. Back inside, timber floors flow to dining and a luxe high-spec kitchen where well-planned details, including backlit shelving, a bar area/coffee station and an inviting window seat add a touch of magic to everyday living and entertaining. An office nook is cleverly concealed behind the kitchen and a separate lounge alongside also boasts custom joinery. The master shares this level, enjoying wonderful views, a well-appointed WIR and chic en suite. Downstairs, three more double bedrooms are served by a tiled bathroom with separate bath and shower. A laundry with impressive storage, chic guest powder room and triple internal-access garaging set this stunning residence apart.

Zoned for Sumner School and within easy reach of hill walks, beaches and the Christchurch Coastal Pathway, an enticing lifestyle beckons for those that love the outdoors. Don't miss your opportunity to secure this very special property. Contact the agent without delay to view.
