3 Deans Avenue, Riccarton, Christchurch
This house is a real testament to the surety and reliability of architectural design combined with good quality construction. The opportunity to refurbish the home as minor EQC repairs were completed sees it emerge with a fresh, light decor well suited to the seemingly bush like environment. Desirably positioned this 1,239sqm property is a perfect home for family comfort and ease of entertaining. Stewart Ross Architect provided the original design concept with the house constructed in solid, reinforced core-filled concrete block finished with a thick, insulated exterior plaster. A high level of specifications throughout has ensured warmth, minimal noise transmission internally and UV reduction. From the foyer, soft tones complemented by Southland Beech timber floors spread throughout three separate living areas. Each living area offers outdoor flow to either a streamside terrace, cobbled courtyard or the elaborate pool area to the north. Dappled sunlight and the chorus of bird life mix peacefully with the gentle flow of the Wairarapa Stream when relaxing directly off the kitchen-dining or second living room. The spacious kitchen offers every modern convenience and European appliance along with this beautiful stream outlook. Upstairs, there are three very large double bedrooms including the main with its own ensuite, a balcony plus an adjacent office. The option for a fourth bedroom comes off the foyer where a separate staircase leads to a large room above the internal double garage, plumbed for another bathroom this is also suitable for a games or media room or, as currently utilised, a work-from-home office. A separate, second garage provides storage for 2-3 cars and has a utilities shed plus an attic-loft above. Outdoors, supported by another bathroom, the in-ground pool invites hours of family fun and entertainment. Zoned for Christchurch Boys and Girls High School, Heaton Intermediate and Elmwood Primary.
