The Ultimate Family Home with Much, Much More..
First built in the 1960's most will find it difficult to believe this spectacular property was originally of this era and designed by Don Donnithorne. Fully transformed in 2007 under the guidance of Chris Prebble Architects and Honeybone Builders a complete rebuild, renovation and extension has ensured only the style of the original remains and the house presents today as a highly specified, yet unique contemporary family home. Spread over 350sqm the weatherboard and Hebel clad house comprises four bedrooms with the option of utilising a large games-room as a fifth bedroom, or as an optional guest room given it features its own fold down bed! Multiple living and dining areas allow family flexibility and flow to the kitchen and informal hub of the home. Caesarstone and stainless steel bench-tops combine with European appliances and solid timber floors to create a practical space to gather each day and to entertain on the surrounding terraces and lawns bounded on the east by the Waimairi Stream. Comfort, warmth and natural light is enhanced by double glazed, floor to ceiling windows and doors plus the many heating options on offer including an energy efficient, warm water underfloor heating system. On this level two bedrooms are supported by a full family bathroom plus the large laundry is also located here. Upstairs the opulent main suite is the ultimate sanctuary; north facing, private and spacious with its own wide balcony the outlook over the treetops is an unexpected view within this suburban location. A WIR, plenty of storage and double en-suite feature here. The fourth bedroom is also upstairs with own WIR and ensuite. The 1,467sqm, rear site easily supports a home of this size allowing plenty of space for children to play along with separate four car garaging and own WC. An internal access single garage allows parking for a fifth vehicle with loads of off-street parking also available. Zoned for Burnside High and Westburn Primary.
