A villa of remarkable pedigree, this landmark home in the central city has undergone an extraordinary restoration, with the renovation designed by Sheppard and Rout Architects, where painstaking craftsmanship and modern engineering have prepared it for another century of family life.
The home's rebuilding extended from the ground up, incorporating a new TC3 ring foundation, complete re-piling, new plumbing, drainage, wiring and roofing as part of an exhaustive structural renewal.
The project was guided by a preservation-first mindset, retaining everything from the ceiling roses and staircase to the original skirtings and architraves, allowing its original character to remain the defining feature.
The same ambition extends to the floor plan, where walls once separating formal rooms have given way to an expansive open-plan kitchen, living and dining room, while a generous separate lounge adds another dimension, making the home every bit as suited to everyday living as it is to life's bigger occasions.
Four bedrooms, a dedicated study, two bathrooms and a powder room reinforce the home's long-term thinking, ensuring it evolves as effortlessly with changing family dynamics as it does with the years ahead.
That same commitment to quality continues throughout the interior, where solid American oak flooring, bespoke oak cabinetry, striking herringbone tiling, granite surfaces and AEG appliances establish a specification that's every bit as finely judged as the restoration itself, while an Elan home theatre system, eco fireplace and radiators throughout ensure comfort has never come at the expense of character.
The practicalities prove equally impressive, with full insulation to the walls, ceiling and underfloor, double glazing, a dedicated drying cupboard, extensive storage including lined roof space, and secure off-street parking behind an electric gate ensuring the home performs as well behind the scenes as it does on display.
From morning laps through Hagley Park to evenings spent in the city's best bars and restaurants, few addresses place Christchurch's finest amenities so effortlessly within reach, while zoning for Christchurch Boys' and Girls' High Schools, Heaton Intermediate and Elmwood School completes an address that performs on every level.
