Originally designed in the 1980s by John Chaplin and comprehensively reimagined by Young Architects in 2019, this exceptional architectural residence beautifully combines timeless character with refined contemporary living in one of Mt Pleasant's most desirable mid-slopes positions.

Positioned on an expansive 672sqm freehold section, the home has been thoughtfully orientated to capture exceptional sun, sweeping views and excellent shelter from the prevailing easterly, creating a wonderfully comfortable environment both indoors and out.

Every detail of the 2019 renovation which included a new roof was carefully considered. Rich original rimu sits effortlessly alongside engineered oak floors, and stunning tongue-and-groove ceilings while the striking reclad exterior in yaki sugi charred timber and lightweight cement panelling, delivers lasting durability and undeniable street appeal.

Designed with family living in mind, the generous floor plan offers four spacious double bedrooms and two beautifully appointed bathrooms, including a private primary suite complete with a dedicated ensuite. Underfloor heating in both bathrooms adds a touch of everyday luxury, while a separate laundry and a convenient guest powder room on the main level enhance everyday practicality.

The expansive open-plan living and dining spaces are warmed by a low-emission LEB wood burner, beautifully framed by bespoke feature shelving, while two heat pumps support year-round comfort. The thoughtfully considered kitchen balances style with practicality, showcasing a sleek induction cooktop, quality electric appliances, generous preparation space and a servery bi-fold window that effortlessly connects to the outdoor entertaining areas.

Sliding seamlessly outdoors, expansive sun-soaked decking and a level lawn create an inviting extension of the living spaces, offering the perfect setting for alfresco entertaining, relaxed family living, or children and pets to enjoy the beautifully sheltered garden surrounds.

Expansive floor-to-ceiling windows and an electronic louvre skylight flood the interior with natural light, while extensive double glazing ensures warmth, energy efficiency and everyday comfort.

Practicality has been equally well addressed with easy access, an internal-access double garage, generous off-street parking and excellent storage, completing a home that effortlessly balances architectural style, modern comfort and everyday functionality.

Directly across the road, a local park further enhances the exceptional family lifestyle on offer. Zoned for both Te Raekura Redcliffs School and Mount Pleasant School, and just minutes from the cafes, beaches and village amenities of Redcliffs and Sumner, this is an outstanding opportunity to embrace one of Christchurch's most sought-after coastal lifestyles.
