Bifold doors open out to the gardens and spa area making exercise and relaxation possible all year round. A large downstairs bedroom or office, a guest WC, plus a generous laundry which conveniently opens to an enclosed utility and storage area, completes this level.

All the bedrooms enjoy access to the Northern balcony and elevated views of the garden and stream beyond. The master bedroom has a comprehensive wardrobe and cabinetry system that will make your heart sing. An additional room also graces this level, providing flexibility for either a media/playroom, sixth bedroom or office space.

A stream boundary plus beautifully landscaped grounds provides both summer and winter interest and privacy. For schooling needs, this property is zoned for Christchurch Girls' and Boys' High School as well as in close proximity to Christchurch's most regarded private schools.
