Cruise through the curved entry gate, up the driveway and across the entry deck to the front entrance of this North Canterbury beauty.

A polished concrete circle to the driveway, and sun detail in the entrance play off the home’s clean sharp lines. Cladding choices highlight its forms.

The double-height entrance with schist wall and oak flooring welcomes you inside. Downstairs is designated for family living with an enclosed lounge, open-plan kitchen/dining/living space and toy room.

Four sets of bifolds open to the covered outdoor entertaining area. Speakers and heating create both ambience and warmth. The covered spa with automated louvre room and polished bar leaner creates the ultimate open-air sanctuary on starry nights.

A powder room, large laundry, storage and three-car garaging complete the generous ground floor.

Ascend the oak stairs, featuring full-height glass balustrades, and admire the five generous bedrooms including master suite. The discerning bathroom design is in keeping with this well-rounded family home.
