Here comes the sun...

Additions and alterations to the original architect's design has created a home that captures all day sun, maximises the light and provides flexibility for use. From the entrance hall, the large main living room has a gas fire that complements the gas central heating and double glazing ensuring comfort. Adjoining, the dining room is warm and sun-filled and opens to the pool area. A cleverly designed kitchen overlooks the St Albans stream that runs through the back garden. Downstairs is a large office or could be a fourth bedroom with a bathroom next door. Six sets of French doors open to the outside - a large deck shaded with sails and a paved area with heated saltwater pool - sheltered and private behind a high fence. Upstairs the main bedroom has a walk-in wardrobe, ensuite and balcony. A second bathroom services the two double bedrooms. An internal access double garage with a mezzanine workshop completes the property. It's all here, close to Merivale and Victoria Street and is zoned for Christchurch Boys' and Girls' High schools. A much loved home the owners will be sad to leave - but it's time for a new family to enjoy the sun.
