Architecturally designed by renowned Christchurch architect JCW (John) Hodgens, this distinctive 1970s residence is a wonderful example of the era's timeless, airy design. Positioned on a sun-soaked 718sqm freehold site on the lower slopes of Mt Pleasant, the home showcases signature architectural features including dramatic floor-to-ceiling windows, exposed timber beams, and an effortless connection to its natural surroundings. Perfectly orientated to a sunny north aspect and sheltered from the prevailing easterly, it enjoys breathtaking views across the estuary and ocean to the Southern Alps.

Lovingly cared for and thoughtfully updated by its current owners, the home honours Hodgens' original vision while embracing the comforts of contemporary family living.

The recently remodelled kitchen pairs striking design with effortless functionality, showcasing bespoke cabinetry, statement tiling, and a seamlessly integrated butler's pantry and laundry. Light-filled living and dining spaces are enhanced by soaring ceilings and expansive glazing, creating a wonderful sense of openness. Wide sliding doors extend the living areas to generous wrap-around decking, landscaped gardens and a flat lawn - all beautifully positioned for the sun and shelter.

A built-in pizza oven sets the scene for entertaining, relaxing, and embracing the indoor-outdoor lifestyle that defines this home, while the playhouse gives younger family members a special space of their own.

Four generous double bedrooms offer excellent versatility, with the fourth equally suited to guest accommodation, working from home or use as an additional living room. The master suite opens directly onto the deck and lawn, creating a lovely retreat complete with its own ensuite. A well-appointed family bathroom and separate toilet provide added convenience for both family living and guests.

Double, internal access garaging with an automatic door and drive-on access completes the practical appeal.

Brand-new carpet enhances the main living level, while four heat pumps (mainly for cooling), extensive double glazing, a new switchboard, and a new hot-water cylinder (pre-wired for solar) support year-round comfort and peace of mind.

Situated just moments from parks, cafes, scenic walking tracks, the coastal pathway, and an easy drive to Sumner Beach, this is an exceptional Mt Pleasant location. Zoned for both Mt Pleasant School and Redcliffs School, this home beautifully combines iconic 1970s design, modern family functionality, and unforgettable views in one truly compelling offering.
