65 Kotare Street, Fendalton, Canterbury

Homes like this are almost unheard of today. Once part of Christchurch's architectural heritage, most properties of this era were lost to the earthquakes. This remarkable residence has not only survived but been elevated to an extraordinary standard through a sensitive and stunning renovation by Young Architects. Combining timeless charm with contemporary sophistication, it offers a heated pool, manicured gardens, and beautifully crafted living spaces - all in one of Christchurch's most desirable locations.

Painstakingly modernised while preserving its architectural character, this home features double-glazed windows (excluding the sunroom), two log burners for cosy winters, and refreshed interiors that are a delight to live in and entertain from. Few properties blend heritage and modernity so seamlessly.

Zoned for some of the city's most prestigious schools - including Christchurch Boys' High, Christchurch Girls' High, Fendalton School, and Burnside High - and within walking distance of Medbury School, the University of Canterbury, cafés, and a supermarket, the location is unparalleled.

Step through the stained-glass front door into a home filled with light and thoughtful design. The renovated kitchen boasts new appliances and luxurious finishes that honour the home's origins. Timber floors lead through open-plan living and dining spaces, offering garden views, sunshine, and warmth from a wood fire. A sunroom opens via French doors, perfect for relaxing or watching over the pool. A separate lounge provides an alternative for entertaining or quiet evenings.

Upstairs, three spacious bedrooms, including a grand master suite, share a beautifully updated bathroom with a separate bath. Ample storage ensures functionality matches the home's elegance. Outside, the double garage and parklike grounds with mature trees create a private oasis for outdoor enjoyment.

This is a truly rare opportunity to own a meticulously restored piece of Christchurch's architectural history, transformed into a modern masterpiece. Contact the agents today to experience it for yourself.
