118 Puriri Street, Fendalton, Christchurch

Sophistication streamside

Architectural finesse transcends the eras in this exceptional Fendalton home on 530sqm, artfully blending sophistication and privacy with tranquillity alongside the picturesque Ilam stream.
Envisioned by architect David Brocherie in the '80s, the layout underwent a rejuvenating transformation and expansion in 2019/20 by Three Sixty Architecture. The result is a skilful infusion of contemporary appeal and 21st-century comfort, seamlessly uniting the very best of past and present.
Remaining true to its split-level design, the open-plan kitchen, living and dining room hold pride of place on the top floor, enjoying elevated views across the stream and extending outwards to a north-facing balcony.
From here, steps lead you down to a streamside deck earning sanctuary status, presenting the ultimate oasis for quiet contemplation or relaxation.
A separate living greets you at the entry-level, providing an alternative venue for entertaining. This area gracefully opens to another deck and the lawn, where established gardens and grand trees enhance the already serene ambience.
Contemporary minimalism characterises both bathrooms, with the master suite offering an ensuite, a walk-in robe and garden access. A family bathroom supports the other two double bedrooms, one of which has a connection out to the stream.
An internal access double garage and off-street space provide parking ease, while radiator heaters throughout promise winter warmth.
Beyond its idyllic location, this home is a gentle stroll from Riccarton Bush and the ever-popular Saturday Market. Close to Fendalton Park, the mall, and coveted zoning for Christchurch Boys' and Girls' High Schools culminates in an exceptional package of top-tier quality and convenience.
With its prime position, unmistakable tranquillity, designer finishes, and lock-up-and-leave characteristics, this home is guaranteed to captivate.
