Architecturally excellent with a location to match

This magnificent home, sitting within a natural amphitheatre of mature trees frequented by tui, kereru and bellbirds, is finished to the highest standards and is the ultimate in sophisticated modern living in the heart of Akaroa.

Expertly designed by renowned architect, Colin Pilbrow and exquisitely updated throughout, the home sits in perfect synchronicity with its pristine environment and is privately positioned close to the waterfront on easily one Akaroa's most desirable streets.

From the moment you enter the home, you will be awestruck by the elegant and expansive open-plan living area that opens out through multiple sets of bi-folding doors to the full-width deck that bathes in sunshine. The electric awning offers a welcome reprieve in the summer months. Your winter ambience is enhanced by a built-in gas fireplace, sympathetically placed between built-in display shelving that also houses the entertainment hub for the home.

The kitchen is absolutely something to behold, the sintered stone breakfast bar and bench tops made of Xtone from Porcelanosa, Spain are expertly crafted and provide a focal point for you to entertain guests in luxury. High-spec appliances and a separate under-bench wine fridge complete the aesthetic in style.

Three beautiful downstairs bedrooms provide elegant sleeping arrangements for family and guests to enjoy. All three bedrooms open to another full width deck and have lush green outlook over the garden and stream. The main bedroom has a gorgeous tiled ensuite bathroom while a second separate bathroom services guests. On this level you also benefit from brilliant hallway storage plus a separate laundry with more generous space to store items out of sight.

The ground level is the perfect area to relax with guests, with substantial terraced decking and pathways to the garden plus an abundance of citrus plants that thrive in this sheltered microclimate. Additional storage under the house is provided as well as a workshop space to tinker.

With a double off-street parking bay for vehicles plus a single internal access garage you are blessed with easily accessible flat parking.

Centrally located and only moments away from the main beach and a multitude of fantastic cafes, restaurants and shops, this is the perfect home or holiday escape for buyers that appreciate properties of substance with an abundance of style on the lower slopes of Akaroa.

With new opportunities on the horizon for our owners, our instructions are clear that this is seriously for sale!
