There is an immediate sense of intention to this home. From the moment the gates open, the architecture, landscaping and material palette begin to tell the story of a property where every detail has been carefully considered.
Client-led in its design and striking in its execution, this five-bedroom residence brings together generous proportions, beautiful materials and highly functional family living in the heart of Strowan.
At its centre, an expansive open-plan kitchen, dining and living space has been designed around the way people naturally gather. An oversized island anchors the kitchen, intentionally scaled so family and friends can be part of the conversation, while American oak cabinetry brings warmth and texture to the space. Double ovens, a wine fridge, separate scullery and extensive storage complete a kitchen designed as much for entertaining as it is for everyday life.
Off the scullery you have your own morning deck, private and quaint, a quick hideaway for your morning coffee before the day begins,
Polished concrete floors run through the main living spaces, warmed by electric underfloor heating, while large openings connect the interior seamlessly with the north-facing Kwila deck. Beyond, an in-ground saltwater pool sits within exceptional professionally designed landscaping, where layered greenery provides a striking contrast against the home's crisp white brick and façade.
A separate living room is tucked quietly away from the main entertaining zone, creating a more intimate retreat for winter evenings and movie nights. A dedicated office with built-in cabinetry provides another considered space for working from home or study.
Five well-appointed bedrooms provide excellent flexibility, led by a stylish downstairs master suite, with a second ensuite bedroom upstairs alongside a beautifully finished family bathroom. Each bathroom carries its own identity, with individual combinations of tiling, texture and finishes giving every space a distinct feel. Wool carpet, multiple heat pumps and solar panels further enhance the home's comfort and efficiency.
Practicality has been given the same attention as the more visible elements of the home. Storage is impressive, extensive and deliberate throughout, complemented by a separate laundry and an oversized double garage with an exceptionally high stud, providing space for larger vehicles or even a boat. Fully fenced and secured by electric gates, the property offers privacy without compromising its sense of openness.
And then there is the setting.
Positioned opposite a reserve in one of Christchurch's most established and sought-after suburbs, the home sits within easy walking distance of St Andrew's College and popular primary schooling, with zoning for some of the city's most highly regarded secondary schools and further private schooling options close by.
Visibly striking and exceptionally functional, this is a home where design and everyday living work in equal measure. Generous spaces for entertaining are balanced by quieter places to retreat, creating a home that is as impressive in its practicality as it is in its design.
An exceptional piece of Strowan real estate, built for family, entertaining, and everything in between. This home is one that people talk about.
