If you hanker for the lavish refinement of traditional architecture, without sacrificing the accoutrements of modern day living, then we have the perfect solution. Commissioned as a "gentleman's residence" in 1936 for an industry baron, no expense was spared in the creation of this lavish estate. Reinforced concrete (a rarity at the time) has proven its longevity, while the welsh slate roof, copper spouting and Halswell Quarry stone have also stood the test of time and been recognised by the NZ Historic Places Trust with a category 2 rating.
Our owner has recently completed an exhaustive renovation process and the list of prudent and practical advantages is sure to impress even the most fastidious of buyers. New Rimu T&G flooring, incredibly effective heating systems, excellent security, Ingrid Geldof designed kitchen, bountiful triple car garaging and ample off street parking - the list goes on.
With generous spaces befitting its storied heritage, the home offers plentiful spaces for entertaining - choose between formal or informal living and dining options to host events that your guests will long remember. In the evening, retire to a lavish master suite resplendent with dressing room, custom built WIR, marble tiled ensuite and separate spa room! Neutral decor highlights the Art Deco detailing and accentuates the mansion's light, airy proportions
Should you require work from home options, there are two large rooms above the garage which would create an ideal home office (or operate equally well as a studio/gym/rumpus). Manicured 1,128m² grounds are incredibly private and exquisitely landscaped, with a wide covered verandah and freestanding summerhouse certain to be central to your outdoor entertaining options.
And the home's address on blue chip Park Terrace speaks for itself - with an outlook over Hagley Park and within strolling distance of the CBD this is city living at its finest. Offered to the market for the first time in 35 years, this stunning property represents a truly unique opportunity.
