Admired for its place in Christchurch modernism, Blaxall House remains an example of mid-century architecture, its legacy carried by a comprehensive and respectful renovation.

Designed in the 1960s by Griffiths and Moffat, a practice that mentored many of Christchurch's leading architects - its low, linear concrete block and Japanese influence establish an immediate sense of tranquillity, beginning at the traditional genkan entrance and commanding throughout the home.

Inside, tongue and groove ceilings, rich timber detailing and expansive living spaces preserve its unmistakable mid century character. A sculptural fireplace forms the centrepiece, while walls of floor to ceiling glass dissolve the boundary between indoors and out.

Beyond the glazing, exterior ponds mirror the architecture and surrounding greenery, creating a mesmerising scene. Established specimen trees, sheltered terraces and sweeping lawns envelop the home, while its north west orientation draws afternoon sun deep into the living spaces and provides the setting for outdoor entertaining.

A comprehensive renovation has carried the residence confidently into modern life. Complete releveling has secured its integrity, while the renewed kitchen and bathrooms introduce a cohesive palette of terrazzo, timber and stainless steel without compromising the home's original architecture language.

Four generous bedrooms, a dedicated study and interconnecting living areas allow the home to shift effortlessly between private retreat and social centre. A separate laundry, three toilets, an oversized triple-car garage and an abundance of off street parking provide security and practicality.

The expansive 1937sqm grounds offer remarkable freedom for families, gardeners and entertainers. An area formerly used as a tennis court presents the potential to reinstate a court in the future, while the sheer scale of the land also invites further imagination.

Zoned for Fendalton Primary, Cobham Intermediate, Christchurch Girls' and Boys' High Schools and Burnside High School, the property is also within easy reach of Fendalton Village, the University of Canterbury and some of the city's finest amenities.

Architecturally significant, intensely private and surrounded by water and greenery, Blaxall House is more than a beautifully restored residence. It is a sanctuary. Here's rare chance to become the next owner of an enduring legacy.
