16 Montgomery Terrace, Hillsborough, Christchurch

Dual Options

Contemporary architecture and outstanding alfresco living align magnificently at this substantial Murray Aynsley offering, which boasts extraordinary views over the cityscape and the Southern Alps. Presenting a combined land parcel of 2,058sqm (more or less), there is an outstanding four-bedroom residence situated at the brow, while an exceptional swimming facility and established gardens lie below, with the option to purchase either site or the entire package. Architecturally designed and completed in 2007, this residence exhibits European influence and energy efficiency thanks to the expertise of Bernard Johnston of Intrados. Timeless matai flooring is utilised throughout much of the split-level layout, with soaring ceilings and vast amounts of glazing, maximising the northwest aspect and the idyllic views below. The open-plan living room is sublime, with fine finishes unveiled by engineered stone bench tops, a walk-in pantry and seamless outdoor access to the deck. Four double bedrooms, two bathrooms, a separate toilet, and an office, along with three-car garaging. Sustainable heating options include central heating with eight radiators fired by a pellet boiler, solar water heating and a heat pump. The land below is incredibly picturesque and suited to families with its heated salt-water swimming pool, change room, pool kitchen, and a built-in BBQ to provide the ultimate environment for outdoor gatherings. Sheltered from the easterly and bathed in privacy, this area is also home to established greenery and a host of fruit trees. Located on the doorstep of Rapaki track, there is a wealth of recreational options in the area, and you are also an easy commute, by bike or car, from the central city. Quality schooling is also in excellent supply, with zoning for St Martins School and Cashmere High School.
