Superbly located on an irreplaceable, dress circle position on Scarborough Hill with exquisite sweeping panoramic views, this striking architectural, 360sqm home deserves your attention. Overlooking Nicholson Park, this stunning location cannot be built out, with Sumner Beach, the City, the Southern Alps and Kaikoura Ranges always destined to be your vista.

The acclaimed Alick Bellerby designed house (Master Builders House of the Year in 1995), has expansive open plan living areas and the kitchen is the hub between them. The main entry to the house is through a dramatic, double height atrium, with oak floors continuing through this level. Floor to ceiling windows maximize the views and provide all day sun. Energy efficiency is delivered by insulated concrete block construction, partial double glazing and underfloor heating.

Leading out from the atrium is a private, sheltered, Halswell stone courtyard, ideal for alfresco dining and barbequing, complete with an outdoor fireplace.

Upstairs leads to the master bedroom, with a private balcony offering amazing views and a generous ensuite, complete with a spa-bath with a view to die for. Two other bedrooms, one with a balcony, are linked by a family bathroom.

Moving downstairs is the third living/media/gym room and another two bedrooms, again with a shared bathroom and a kitchenette, perfect for visiting guests.

Flat drive-on access, with two double garages, one with internal access, plus additional off-street parking are a rarity on the hill. The gently sloping 1,613sqm section is landscaped beautifully with many mature trees and shrubs, a rose garden, glasshouse and substantial level lawn area.

Properties with these attributes are rarely available on Scarborough, so come and experience it for yourself. Viewing by appointment.
