Optimally located within Fendalton it enjoys excellent proximity to sought after schools, Canterbury University, a choice of shopping malls and a myriad of parks, recreation areas and restaurants. Comprising five bedrooms, an office and four bathrooms, this elegant home also boasts a choice of three formal living and dining rooms. Working in conjunction with the Europe based owner an extensive renovation has been completed under the supervision of one of Christchurch's leading interior architects, Emma Morris of ETERNOdesign. The kitchen and informal dining area is a discerning masterpiece; light-filled with 'Paloma' Travertine flooring, Caesar stone kitchen-island and bench tops along with European appliances, undertile heating and a walk-in pantry. Beyond the kitchen, the deck and paved courtyard lead on to the inground pool, full-sized tennis court and a small orchard. A large, fully tiled powder room and a newly carpeted office are conveniently located for visitors to this home. The gracious dining room bespeaks elegance and prestige, as does the magnificent formal living room offering breathtaking garden views through high, arched windows.

Upstairs, the sunny master suite has a walk-in wardrobe along with a spacious, fully tiled and appointed ensuite featuring a freestanding bath. There are a further three double bedrooms upstairs, one with an ensuite, and a third, luxurious main bathroom. Rewired, the beautiful lighting includes two resplendent French Chandeliers. The self-contained guest-house comes with a kitchenette, double bedroom and a tiled bathroom. Large double garaging could accommodate up to three cars. Private and secure behind high fencing, if beauty can be measured in years then this property is an enduring classic, rarely seen and not to be missed.
