Designed by architect Andrew Lister, this New Zealand Institute of Architects award winning home and house of the year finalist has graced the pages of countless magazines.\n\nSpanning 246sqm this generous home is made up of three distinct co-joined boxes that separate living and entertaining areas from a huge workspace/studio. For those wanting the ultimate live/work setting - look no further.\n\nThe open plan living/dining room, galley kitchen, two bathrooms, a large deck and downstairs studio are all resolutely contemporary in design. The office/home entertainment area could easily be divided into further bedrooms. Huge windows frame views of the abundant borrowed landscape. An oversize skylight (the entire ceiling of the ensuite) means you can shower under the sun and stars.\n\nBuilt to the boundaries this home nestles rather than dominates, mixing happily with older-style homes in this highly desirable neighbourhood. Stunning landscaped grounds and pond complete this unique opportunity.\n\nAn absolute gem!\n\nFor an interactive floorplan copy and paste this link - http://www.nz.open2view.com/tour/plan/288906\n\nFIND ME ON FACEBOOK \nhttps://www.facebook.com/pages/BlairHaddowRealEstate/262466790508419 \nFOLLOW ME ON TWITTER \nhttp://twitter.com/blairhaddow\n\nLooking for a similar property?
