There are homes that impress from the moment you arrive and then there are those that continue to reveal themselves, with something remarkable at every turn.
Beyond secure electric gates, this exceptional family residence is a masterclass in timeless character and contemporary luxury. Impressive in scale yet wonderfully inviting, it is a home where craftsmanship, elegance and everyday liveability come together with rare ease.
The transformation by Heathcote Building & Design Ltd is extraordinary. Undertaken with vision, passion and uncompromising attention to detail, no stone has been left unturned. Beautiful materials, bespoke finishes and exquisite craftsmanship are woven throughout, preserving the soul and character of the original home while elevating it for modern family life. The result is refined yet warm, luxurious yet wonderfully liveable, a home designed not simply to be admired, but to be loved.
Five generous double bedrooms provide exceptional family accommodation, crowned by an indulgent primary suite with custom dressing room and beautifully appointed ensuite. Three luxurious bathrooms with under-tile heating, a bespoke executive office and fully ducted climate control ensure comfort and practicality are every bit as impressive as the design.
At the heart of the home, the exquisite designer kitchen and scullery are an undeniable showpiece. An expansive marble island takes centre stage, complemented by premium appliances, induction cooking and an integrated dishwasher. From here, beautifully considered living and dining spaces unfold, creating distinct yet connected zones for quiet family evenings, lingering dinners and effortless entertaining.

Step outside and the experience becomes something else entirely. Established gardens and sweeping lawns create a magnificent backdrop to the pristine heated swimming pool, superbly finished pool house and enchanting circular brick summer house. Long lunches that drift into the evening, children in the pool, celebrations with friends or quiet moments beneath the trees - this is a setting made for memories.
St Andrew's College, one of New Zealand's leading private schools, is virtually across the road, with Heaton Normal Intermediate moments away. Merivale's boutiques, cafés and restaurants are within easy walking distance, while St George's Hospital and key transport links are close at hand. Exceptional school zoning includes Christchurch Boys' High, Christchurch Girls' High, Burnside High, Cobham Intermediate and Heaton Normal Intermediate.
Some homes need to be seen. This one needs to be experienced.
