Tucked up a long driveway sitting alongside the Waimairi Stream, and set on a whopping 1552m2 of land, this white, cedar clad, single level home, is appropriate for every age and stage, seeing families come, children grow and the elderly play. The location is underpinned by some of Christchurch's most sought-after school zones, being CBHS/CGHS and Burnside High School.

Occupying a substantial footprint, each extension and alteration was sensitive and sensible, maintaining any historical charm and expanding upon it, boasting even a rimu drinks cabinet designed by Maurice Mahoney himself, something very few homes can claim! The home flows effortlessly from room to room, each space offering a picturesque glimpse of the park like setting outside. A generous kitchen, two living rooms, a dedicated dining room, and a study as large as the master bedroom means there is more than enough room for the whole family and any guests or visitors who might swing by.

It's generous in all respects, living, land and last of all, accommodation, each room is a proper double with built in wardrobing, as expected the master suite sports an en suite, while the remaining bedrooms are serviced by two family bathrooms.

Established landscaping capitalises on the north-western aspect of the property, maximising sunlight from sunrise to sunset. The substantial parcel of land feels more than manageable with appropriate plantings, trees and hedges providing a backdrop and a buffer to the outside world.
