4 Holderness Place Ilam, Christchurch City

Clad in Cedar board & batten with strong bone structure & a commanding presence, this home is a true statement piece. The architectural draughtsman must have thoroughly enjoyed pushing the boundaries with his design, and seeing the build come together must have been incredibly rewarding. Built approximately 25 years ago, the intention and integrity of this home's design has continued to hold its own and will endure for years to come. The bespoke design is completely unique, with features you are unlikely to see in any other build.
The clever use of space, light and shade created by vaulted ceilings and exposed beams ensures a light and airy flow throughout this home. Rimu ceilings and joinery, architectural curves and double height windows are just some of the points of difference you will appreciate. Open plan living nestled at the heart of the home is the social hub and flows to the formal lounge when a peaceful retreat is required. Adjacent is a formal dining room and office or fourth bedroom. A full bathroom, laundry and double internal access garage with a storage room are also at ground floor level.
A staircase leads to a mezzanine floor reminiscent of a ships bow where you can survey the living area below and enjoy views in all directions. Two further upstairs bedrooms are large and light with stunning curved dormer windows. The master has its own balcony, a large walk-in-robe and stunning ensuite complete with a bath for a luxurious soak when desired. Outside, both front and rear, the gardens are superb with carefully selected and well-tended specimen plants and trees. The rear gardens are North facing and create a botanical haven with a fully covered outdoor room creating perfect al fresco dining space. This is home with heart and soul, integrity and edge. The superb location is quiet, close to University, schools, transport and shopping precincts. Own this artistic and elegant home today.
