Built From The Original Cecil Wood Design...
Having lived in the pre-existing Cecil Wood designed home for 25 years my vendor knew exactly what she wanted when her much loved, earthquake damaged home, was designated a re-build by the insurer - the exact same house again of course. 'Jim the Builder' has constructed a house that reflects the original design and floor-plan but now offers all of the benefits of a modern, new home. Fed by the Pacific Ocean the magnificent views over the Heathcote and Avon River Estuary to the South Shore Spit are ever changing due to the tidal flow plus the many recreational activities on offer. Perched upon the lower slopes above Ferrymead the location ensures easy access to the shops, cafes, restaurants and other amenities available there. The entry level comprises the open-plan living with a separated dining area, office nook and a spacious, designer style kitchen. Dual access to the sunny, north-facing deck is available through bi-fold doors. The main bedroom offers generous, built-in wardrobing plus an en-suite. A separate laundry and guest wc are also on this level. Downstairs are two further double bedrooms, the second bathroom plus a central living area, all with outdoor flow to the covered terrace and gardens on this predominantly level site. Heating within the fully insulated and double-glazed home comprises of under-tile heating in the bathrooms, a gas fire and two heat pumps. A separate two-car garage and large three-bay carport offer a generosity off parking options, a sought after rarity with hillside living. Zoned for Mt Pleasant School.
