25 Carlton Mill Road, Merivale - Christchurch City, Canterbury

Drawing on the tranquillity of the natural setting, this is refined living that effortlessly brings together traditional architectural references with a refreshing modernity, says Clare Chapman (Editor & Chief, Home Magazine).

Designed to impress and in a prime location overlooking Hagley Park and the Avon River, this magnificent contemporary penthouse at ground level delivers a lifestyle beyond compare.

"We set out to create a series of dwellings where textural interplays meet an aesthetic defined by moments of dark bronze and the charcoal tones of Roman-styled clinker brick," architect Case Ornsby says.

Centrepiece of the open-plan casual living space is a magnificent Poliform kitchen, showcasing refined Italian design, premium finishes and high-spec Miele appliances to create a sophisticated setting for everyday living and entertaining. A heated tile floor flows through to dining and a relaxed sitting area, while sliding doors connect a choice of three outdoor living spaces - including one with an outdoor fireplace. An elegant separate lounge alongside the main living area also opens to the outdoors.

A luxurious retreat, the master bedroom boasts a WIR and well-appointed ensuite with floor-to-ceiling tiles, double vanity, separate bath and shower featuring the latest Hansgrohe fittings. A second bedroom with ensuite is ideal for guests, while two more double bedrooms share the family bathroom. A powder room, separate laundry and double internal-access garage complete a superb layout for effortless, inspired living.

Zoned for Boys High and Girls High schools, and within close proximity to Christchurch's most prestigious private schools, this will be an ideal home for busy modern families or downsizers with the option to add an elevator adds a welcome level of futureproofing.
