The Urban Cottage, A Smart New Take On City Living

A multi-award winning design from acclaimed CoLab architecture, this creatively designed post-earthquake build (2016) offers smart contemporary living in a vibrant urban location. Compact in size, yet effortlessly liveable and packed with features!

Making a bold statement with its pitched roof and black cedar cladding, this single-level, standalone home nestles in a garden oasis. A rear section ensures peace and privacy in a superb location for work and play, right on the city fringe and strolling distance to supermarket, cafés and restaurants.

North-facing, with massive black-framed sliding doors, the open-plan living area is positioned for winter sun, making the heat-pump sometimes unnecessary, while keeping the interior cool in summer. There is clear evidence of the architect's hand with almost all the appliances fully integrated and the use of bespoke built-in cabinetry allowing seamless flow from kitchen to dining and living. Crisp white walls and re-claimed rimu flooring, alongside the warmth of blonde beech ply, add up to a sleek minimalist finish. The two double bedrooms with extraordinary floor-to-ceiling storage. A chic tiled bathroom continues the theme with smart monochromatic appeal accented with timber elements and loft space adds to the generous storage on offer.

A paved courtyard set in leafy, established gardens enlarges the living area and the 297 sqm grounds are cleverly landscaped to create an appealing and easy-care space for relaxing and entertaining. A covered carport and additional off-street parking are part of the package.

Poised to take advantage of the rapidly developing new city on its doorstep, this unforgettable home offers an incredible opportunity for comfortable living in tune with contemporary values. Don't miss this chance - contact the agent without delay to view.
