Immensely welcoming, architecturally designed home sitting on 658sqm in a private lane adjoining Palazzo Lane.

Superbly positioned to the north, just two minute's walk to Hagley Park. Stroll or bike through the park to the city. Let the children roam free in your garden or head across to the park for sport of leisure.

Surrounded by a beautiful established garden with outdoor gas fire, built-in barbeque and enjoying a share in a private reserve which only enhances the feeling of tranquillity.

The spacious kitchen, with a granite bench, has a double wall oven, induction hob, dishwasher, and a fabulous butler's pantry with an abundance of storage. The adjacent living and dining area opens to the terrace in two directions with bi-fold doors, ideal for summer barbeques or a lazy weekend alfresco breakfast.

The separate formal living, with a gas fire, also opens to the garden. With its high stud, this stunning room creates a wonderful entertaining space, a quiet retreat, or an ideal movie room. Downstairs there's also a perfect office/study with a garden outlook, a separate laundry, a powder room, and internal access double garage. Internal vacuum system, off-street, and visitor parking.

Three double bedrooms upstairs, the master with a walk-in wardrobe, ensuite, complete with spa bath, tiled shower, and double vanity, and doors opening to a balcony. There are two further double bedrooms complemented with a large bathroom, also with bath and tiled shower.

Positioned superbly for the sun, and together with gas fire, under-tile heating, and double glazing a comfortable year-round climate is ensured.

A location to be revered... surrounded by other prestigious homes, easy access to Christchurch Hospital, the city, and Merivale with its fashion stores, cafes and restaurants. Christchurch Girls' and Boys' High zone.
