Inspired by the work of 'Warren & Mahoney' on the University of Canterbury's 'College House' the original owner, and builder, of this unique property commissioned Sir Miles Warren for the design of his own home. Brutalist Architecture is typified by the dominant use of concrete and/or 'severe' and repetitive block-like shapes which has seen this 500sqm family home endure since the 1970s.
An idyllic 2,605sqm stream side setting ensures both privacy and long term security. The home possesses a unique functionality and has been favoured by previous owners who like to both entertain and/or work from home. A wide forecourt offers plenty of parking area and leads to an impressive entrance which showcases a unique water feature before continuing through to the gallery styled foyer. Spacious living areas flow from here, the double-height formal living room integrates well with two informal living areas and all feature a north facing aspect. The modernised kitchen is generously proportioned and allows for a maximum amount of people at one time. Accommodation provides for six bedrooms, the main with a dressing room and fully appointed double ensuite is positioned on the ground floor overlooking the lush garden and with access to the pool terrace. Upstairs, separated by a mezzanine styled living room another expansive bedroom has its own ensuite and makes an ideal guest suite or master alternative. Four remaining bedrooms are serviced by a family bathroom and separate toilet. Other features include a large guest powder room, basement wine cellar, plus an outdoor shower and toilet to service the pool and sauna.
Three car garaging. Exceptional proximity to Hagley Park, private schools and the Merivale Mall with zoning for Christchurch Boys' High School, Christchurch Girls' High School, Cobham Intermediate and Fendalton Primary.
