This distinctive Chester Street East residence presents a compelling story of architectural reinvention, craftsmanship, and considered modern living.
Inspired by the original1890’s heritage townhouse lost in the 2011 earthquake, this home was rebuilt on the original site as a contemporary interpretation that honours the past while embracing modern performance, comfort and design integrity. Constructed by the award winning Avenue Homes, the result is a home of exceptional quality and character.
The front of the home centres around sun filled open plan living spaces where kitchen and day room connect seamlessly. The kitchen is appointed with Caesarstone benchtops, a walk-in pantry and an oversized Falcon induction range, while double doors extend living outdoors to a sheltered front deck and courtyard suited to morning coffee or relaxed entertaining. Inside, engineered timber flooring in Karelia Oak Ebony pairs with American White Oak joinery throughout, while high stud ceilings gently nod to the original heritage home that once stood here.
Further along the gallery hallway, a separate dining room and additional lounge provide warm inviting spaces for entertaining or retreat. Upstairs, three generous double bedrooms are supported by two bathrooms finished with polished glazed porcelain tiles, while a large fourth flexible room can function as a studio, workroom or additional bedroom. A dedicated office on this floor adds practical work from home capability.
Internal access garaging and thoughtfully integrated storage enhance everyday functionality, while solar water heating, underfloor heating in the bathrooms and an integrated heat pump contribute to comfort and efficiency.
This stunning rebuild achieved Gold Awards in both the Canterbury and National Registered Master Builders House of the Year Awards in 2017 and received a Highly Commended distinction from the Canterbury Heritage Awards in the Future Heritage category, recognising the home’s architectural merit and craftsmanship.
Positioned within the sought after Chester Street East precinct, the setting combines established neighbourhood charm with exceptional city convenience. Tree lined streets, nearby green spaces and walkways link directly to the central city. Dining, entertainment and the stadium are all within easy reach, offering a lifestyle that balances vibrancy with everyday ease.
