Auction Brought Forward To 11am, Tues 19 Feb 2013\n3 Deans Avenue, Riccarton, Christchurch\n\nA simple and deceptive entrance from the street gives away no hint of what lies beyond the entrance of this modern, recently completed home within this very popular location. We were, however immediately struck by the stylish and spacious interior, refreshingly unique and practically designed. Architecturally designed by Nikora Jonathan and constructed by Shaun Bradley Builders (a member of the Master Builders Association) a very light EQC Scope of Works provides comfort in the quality of both design and workmanship. Highly specified throughout with some lovely additional features including in-slab, hot water channel heating this home is delightfully light and elegant yet provides comfortable, executive family living. Solid NZ Oak flooring features along the hallway and through to a beautiful, very spacious open plan living area with ample room for formal dining, informal living and a study area. Extremely well appointed, the delightful kitchen overlooks a sheltered courtyard to the east and to the main outdoor living area and gardens to the north - a purpose built Petanque Court beckons from here also. A large, adjoining formal lounge with high stud enjoys a north-west aspect and wide, outdoor flow to the landscaped garden area. Two double bedrooms with a fully appointed bathroom and separate wc feature downstairs. Upstairs, the main bedroom with ensuite and the fourth bedroom are positioned each side of a small office/landing area. The oversized double garaging allows for extra storage and provides internal entry via the large laundry which once again, is generous on storage and is perfect for shedding coats, bags and dirty shoes! Very close, convenient proximity to the Merivale and Northlands Shopping Precincts along with St Andrews School. Zoned for Christchurch Boys' High, Heaton Intermediate and Paparoa Primary Schools.
