Significant Historic Home

Built (1945) and lived in by pre-eminent Canterbury architect Heathcote Helmore, this magnificent property has been carefully updated to create an exceptional setting for contemporary living while preserving the classical grandeur that makes it so very special. With leafy established gardens of 1,173 sqm and a highly desirable address, strolling distance to Hagley Park and just minutes to Merivale Village and Victoria Street, it's little wonder this property has been tightly held by the current owners for 25 years.

Interconnected living areas offer superb flexibility for family living and entertaining. A light-filled casual living and dining room flows to an intimate sitting/media room. French doors open to the garden and at the heart of the space is a high-spec Ingrid Geldof-designed kitchen. Radiating from here are a sun-filled sitting room with bi-folds that push back to connect outdoor living and garden, and a splendid separate lounge - originally the ballroom - with 3.7 metre stud, arched windows and log-burner. Separate living above the garage adds further options for family living or working from home. The accommodation is equally palatial, with a master bedroom featuring WIR and en suite, a guest bedroom with en suite and three more double bedrooms sharing a family bathroom. A separate laundry, triple garage and beautifully landscaped gardens complete an impressive property.

Luxuriously appointed throughout, this home combines grand features with contemporary comforts for the ultimate lifestyle, while zoning for sought-after schools, including Burnside High, Boys' High and Girls' High, is a clear advantage. Now, after 25 years, this is your opportunity to own one of the city's finest homes. Contact the agent without delay to view.
