17 Penhelig Place, Fendalton, Christchurch

Scene-stealing sophistication - triple garaging

Skillfully crafted for high-end entertaining and luxurious living, this stream-bound showstopper is architecturally exquisite and matched only by the beauty of its picturesque surroundings.

The location is supreme, settled upon an 889sqm rear section in a Fendalton cul-de-sac, with intimate views over the stream and across to Cobham's fields, delivering immense tranquility rarely found in suburbia.

Masterminded by Darren O'Neil and completed in 2020, this double-level 378sqm residence is in a class of its own.

A premium has been placed on seamless indoor-outdoor transitions, complemented by an emphasis on interior refinement exemplified by the commanding Corten steel entry door, American oak flooring, custom-made cabinetry, Italian bathroom ware and feature LED lighting.

Of the four entertaining areas, everyday life centers around the open-plan kitchen that sports a scullery and granite counters.

Sizeable sliders dissolve the boundary between this central living area and the wrap-around kwila deck, where there is a multiplicity of spaces to unwind. Be it beneath the retractable louvred roof or in the inground heated swimming pool that's accompanied by a bathroom and toilet.

A media room warmed by a double-sided gas fire is assisted by a supplementary lounge on the ground floor, while the fourth is upstairs with a kitchenette and balcony.

A premium guest suite is sited downstairs and armed with a front deck, a second kitchenette and a tiled ensuite. The remaining bedrooms and bathrooms are upstairs, including the sublime master with its opulent ensuite and substantial dual-sided walk-in wardrobe.

A range of heating solutions, sophisticated glazing and a solar system ensures optimum energy efficiency. Ample on-site parking supported by an internal access triple-car garage.

Zones CGHS, CBHS, Burnside Primary, Cobham Intermediate, Fendalton and Burnside Primary.
