Rustic Country Flair on City Fringe

If you’re hunting for something a little bit special, then 104 Dorset Road will almost certainly turn your head. This classic home oozes character and charm while providing the modern day conveniences that come with a home less that five years old. Set across one acre, this spacious family home sits atop the sloping site, capturing all day sunshine, while it’s elevation means a spectacular outlook from every window.

As you make your way through the inside, you’ll notice a seamless blend of old with new; high raking ceilings are spanned with 100+ year old timber beams, rescued from historic buildings condemned in the Christchurch earthquake, with the quaint stained glass window creating a sense of homeliness and warmth linking the living space with the remainder of the home. The open plan living is cleverly split into zones; the moody lounge complete with schist fireplace and wrought iron lighting feature is tucked away in the rear of the room, while the country style kitchen is front and centre, the heart of the home, having seen many family dinner parties and calling out for more.

The remainder of the home will not disappoint, three large bedrooms are serviced by a large family bathroom, home to an exquisite claw foot bath, while underfloor heating through both the bathroom and separate toilet provide a cosy warmth year round. The end of the hallway opens through to a master suite, complete with tiles ensuite and two generous wardrobes (one walk in, one built in), with the large window at the end of the room perfectly framing the unencumbered mountain view. A large internal access double garage completes the home. The ‘stables’, a second dwelling onsite which were part of the original homestead, have been cleverly made over too, offering an additional space; accommodation, work from home, extended family or storage, the choice is yours!

The outside of the property continues to impress, a large alfresco dining space opens through large bifold doors, with multiple levels of decking creating secluded spaces to enjoy the peaceful vista. Step around the corner to find the private spa area, built into the landscaped surrounds and taking in the rural outlook. The beautifully landscaped grounds are well on their way to maturing now; all the hard work really has been done, all you need to do is make it your own!
