Set among established grounds on 9,554sqm, this private lifestyle retreat combines the peace and space of country living with the everyday convenience of nearby West Melton. Mature trees, generous outdoor areas and a versatile family home create an inviting property with personality, privacy and room to enjoy.
Built in the mid-1980s and thoughtfully updated over time, the home pairs permanent materials and striking schist detailing with timber-lined ceilings, stone finishes, and contemporary improvements.
At the heart of the home, the galley-style kitchen connects with the open-plan dining and living area, where skylights draw in natural light and doors extend the living space onto the terrace. A separate formal lounge offers another comfortable place to relax and enjoys an easy connection to the outdoors.
The flexible floor plan includes four bedrooms and an office. Upstairs, the master bedroom features a walk-in wardrobe and shared en-suite, while the oversized second bedroom has its own staircase and is currently used as an additional lounge, giving families the freedom to adapt the space as their needs change.
The recently fully renovated tiled bathrooms bring a fresh and modern finish, with two bathrooms positioned upstairs and a combined third bathroom and laundry downstairs.
A gas fire, log fire, underfloor heating and double glazing provide dependable comfort through every season.
Outdoor living is a standout feature. The festoon-lit entertaining pavilion includes a fireplace, pizza oven and full outdoor kitchen, creating an impressive setting for relaxed gatherings throughout the year. Nearby, the fenced and heated saltwater swimming pool is surrounded by decking and sits privately within the picturesque, well-sheltered grounds.
Practical features are equally well represented, with internal-access double garaging, a separate detached and lined double garage incorporating workshop and gym space, a powered three-bay shed, established fruit trees and two paddocks. Together, these provide ample scope for storage, hobbies and projects.
Lifestyle properties of this size offer an appealing balance, providing genuine space and privacy without the upkeep of a larger landholding.
Full of character and positioned on the city side of West Melton, the property offers a genuine sense of escape while remaining within easy reach of Christchurch Airport and the city.
With our vendors relocating, now is the opportunity to make this established lifestyle property your own.
