10 Royds St, Fendalton, Christchurch 8014, New Zealand

Architecturally designed and constructed in lightweight aerated concrete panel, this beautifully designed 466sqm home is well suited to generational family living with sprawling yet well-connected living spaces and a multitude of bedroom options. A vast bedroom with own en-suite downstairs enjoys a private aspect overlooking the stream and the lush gardens thereby allowing a logical, alternative option to the main suite on the first floor, or as the ideal guest suite. Upstairs the four remaining double bedrooms are each generously proportioned; the main suite and fifth bedroom each with walk-in-robes and fully tiled en-suites. Positioned on the north side of Royds St the house enjoys a sunny north-west aspect, with the morning sun from the east welcomed into the upper landing and kitchen area via multiple skylights. Seasonal comfort assured with double-glazing, under-floor heating, two gas fires and three heatpumps. A ‘show stopper’ kitchen and accompanying scullery allow for family functionality and are the perfect platform for entertaining friends and family – the spacious kitchen and adjacent dining area are flanked with luxurious living rooms featuring floor to ceiling Schist walls surrounding the gas fires. Located directly off the double height foyer a large office is again, thoughtfully positioned for adult work or supervised children’s study and computer time. A basement cellar is divided into two separate rooms and invites wine storage, use as a gym or work-out area or simply for further general storage. This property boasts a supremely successful balance of the outdoor flow to decks, patios and the established formal gardens, with a heated in-ground pool and pool-house facilities, through to the secluded and tranquil retreat area nestled alongside the Wairarapa Stream. Those selective in their choice of schooling will be pleased with zoning for Christchurch Boys and Girls High Schools along with Ilam School and Fendalton Primary. Desirably close to the preferred private schools, the CBD and Mona Vale.
