After being damaged in the Christchurch earthquakes, this grand and character-filled home has been rebuilt and revamped for modern living. It’s an impeccable renovation that introduces everything needed for 2020s-style living and entertaining, without diluting the heritage and heart of the five-bedroom house. In fact, it celebrates the historical elements, and its impossible to discern what’s original and what has been altered, introduced or removed. This seamlessness is evidence of a high degree of craftsmanship. The beauty of the weatherboard cladding and shingle gables have been retained and refreshed leaving the 357sqm beauty in tip-top condition and one of the stars of its established Christchurch neighbourhood. Inside, walls were reconfigured to enhance flow. And outside includes a solar-heated swimming pool, covered dining area, bathroom and entertaining area — there’s no better place to host summer soirées. The three glamorous bathrooms are fully tiled and the five bedrooms include a retreat with ensuite and walk-in robe. A natural palette creates an air of understated elegance and tasteful fixtures reinforce the high calibre of the renovation.
