Designed by the late Gavin Willis, in the distinct regional style of modernist New Zealand architecture, this classic concrete block and timber home has been lovingly preserved and enhanced by the current owners for the last twenty-eight years.
Accessed by an immaculate tree-lined driveway, the north-facing position is private and peaceful, sheltered and sun-drenched. Superbly landscaped with meandering borders brimming with Hellebores and Hostas enclosed within structured hedging of Camelia, Robinia, and Hornbeam, outdoor living can be immersed in the garden or under the pretty verandah overlooking all.
Inside, a wide entrance hall welcomes you into a smart open plan kitchen and two generous living spaces with high cathedral ceilings and bifold doors to the deck and paved terrace beyond. A strategically placed log burner radiates warmth in winter months and is augmented by under tile heating. Solar-boosted hot water is an added bonus. All tastefully upgraded over the years, the owners commissioned a then elderly Willis to design alterations, including the masterful addition of a lovely big room tucked into the roofline, an ideal extra living space, work-from-home office or bedroom, if required, as well as an internal access, double garage, which provides additional convenience.
Favourably located within all our most sought-after school zones, it is a short safe walk to Fendalton Primary, and there is the choice of 'the big 3' for secondary, CGHS, CBHS, and BHS. Jeffreys Rd Reserve is about 50m away and has a community tennis court and children's playground and Fendalton Library. The house is equidistance between Fendalton Mall and Fendalton Village, and five minutes from Merivale shopping. Our sellers have loved their time here, but have acted on a long-held dream to `Escape to the Country' and have purchased in Ohoka.
Be quick! This is very special!
