It is clearly apparent when perusing the long list of specifications and materials utilised to create this very special property that little or no expense was spared throughout the construction process. Solid concrete and steel with a hand plastered finish was chosen for the exterior walls, Spanish clay tiles for the roof and copper spouting to complement the cedar doors. Inside, the Mediterranean style continues with the use of Tasmanian Oak for the cathedral ceilings and a central staircase. Imported light fittings and door-ware, double-glazed argon gas-tinted windows and NZ wool carpets hand woven in India only hint at the remarkable quality the owners insisted on when designing this much admired home. The superb 'Palazzo' kitchen continues the theme of luxury with high gloss cabinetry, stone bench tops and a Butlers pantry. An opulent master suite is positioned adjacent to the office on the ground floor and can be secured from the rest of the house. Expansive living areas lead to the outdoor living options including a summer house and a Loggia with built in BBQ, gas fire, kitchenette, TV and sound system. Upstairs is another bedroom with balcony and en-suite plus the remaining two bedrooms and two bathrooms. T he superior location and unique privacy of the 883sqm site supports the level of investment here and ensures this 370sqmproperty will appeal to the premium market-place. A delight to view, the full information pack is available on request. School zonings include Christchurch Boys and Girls High Schools, Heaton Intermediate and Elmwood Primary School. Enjoy the very short walk to local shops, Hagley Park, the CBD and preferred private schools.
