7 Nightingale Place, Papanui, Canterbury 8053

Designed as a harmonious and uplifting setting for family living, every inch of this beautiful contemporary property - both indoors and out - has been thoughtfully designed and carefully crafted. The result is a home that sparks joy and warmth - qualities not always at the foremost of modern buildings. Designed by Michael Idiens Architects and occupying a 645sqm site in a quiet enclave of quality homes, it is tucked away from busy streets and yet just moments from the vibrant retail hubs of Merivale and Northlands, as well as numerous neighbourhood cafés, eateries and parks. It's a recipe that delivers exceptional convenience and a lifestyle that's second-to-none.

The living spaces of this 377sqm home are, quite simply, superb. The heart of family living will be the spacious open-plan casual living and entertaining room that runs the full length of the northern elevation. Stacking glass sliders dissolve the divide between indoors and out, effortlessly extending the living space out to the oversized deck and north-west facing in-ground pool - key features of an award-winning garden designed by Ben McMaster. With built-in seating, an outdoor gas fire and three sun umbrellas, this is an enticing hub for family living and entertaining throughout the seasons. Stepping back inside, the focus on convivial hospitality continues in an elegant, sun-filled space with the ambience of a gas fire in the sitting area at one end flowing to dining and a sleek contemporary kitchen and scullery, perfectly appointed with two dishwashers, two wall ovens, convection oven/microwave, steam oven and Fisher & Paykel cool-drawer. Nestled behind the main gathering area are two additional separate living areas, one utilized as a lounge/media room and the other (with sliders to a private courtyard) lending itself to use as an impressive home office. Upstairs, a stunning master suite is the ultimate retreat with a large and light-filled bedroom complemented by an expansive WIR and palatial en-suite bathroom. Two more double bedrooms also boast their own private bathrooms, while a fourth upstairs living space could be an additional bedroom.

A guest powder room, separate laundry and internal-access garaging for four cars, with comfort enhanced by ducted heating and an impressive array of other extras, make it clear no detail has been overlooked in the quest for convenient contemporary living. Zoned for Paparoa Street School and Heaton Intermediate, with private schools also nearby, along with a host of amenities, the central city is an easy commute by bike or car. Properties of this calibre are rare. Contact the agent without delay and seize the chance to secure this stunning home for your family.
