Tucked away amongst suburbia is this beautiful 12 year old, 1,330sq m home. Period-style wrought iron gates open automatically off Banks Avenue into a long driveway bordered by box hedging, giving an uninterrupted view of this impressive Georgian style home – the front entrance with fluted columns topped by a triangular pediment is a particularly striking feature.

- The oversize front doors open into a stunning double storey height foyer that houses a majestic staircase with a true balustrade banister that encircles a walkway around the whole upper level. The custom made carpeting, chandelier, marble flooring, columns and wall and ceiling mouldings of the foyer are indicative of the superb fittings and fixtures, finish and detailing within every room of the home.
- Enter the spacious drawing room and be wowed further by high ceilings, ornate window dressings and a gas fire with detailed mantelpiece. Dual glass doors with half round windows above lead through to the dining room, where a dining setting for 12 fits with ease and still leaves room for further furnishings.

The lounge provides a cosy atmosphere with high ceilings, gas fire and rich drapes, while doors that open onto the terrace and through to the bar room suggest entertaining is the focus of this area of the house.
- The fully equipped bar, with inbuilt barbecue, opens into the pool room which includes a 20 metre pool, spa and sauna, shower, toilet and gym room. Both the bar and pool room open out onto the terrace, which stretches across the entrie back of the house and overlooks the Astroturf tennis court and tree-filled 7,466sq m grounds complete with rotunda, fountain and garden ornaments: a lovely place to spend a balmy summer’s evening
- With further thought to entertaining, the hallway from the bar goes past the laundry room and stairwell to the underground wine cellar, bringing you to the back stairs to the billiards room, with its low, shaped ceiling and convenient location up the stairs from the twin guest toilets and cloak bay off the foyer.
- At the base of the main staircase is the den; a sophisticated room with gas fire, hidden safe and wood panelling lined with bookshelves, this room offers the perfect private space for an executive office or family library. Upstairs five bedrooms, positioned around the upper walkway overlooking the foyer, continue with the striking décor. A nursery, and three other bedrooms all have large wardrobes and chandeliers, whilst two of the rooms have direct access into large, ornately tiled bathrooms that also open onto the walkway.
- The master suite is beyond compare; a gigantic room with chandelier and fireplace, columns and fine drapery, balcony, dressing room and makeup table. The en-suite has his and hers basins, toilet and bidet, spa bath and enormous shower.
- This magnificent home is only ten minutes from the central city or twenty minutes from Christchurch’s International airport and would be the perfect home for a public figure seeking privacy and security out of the limelight, a professional family or affluent retired farmer wanting a sophisticated home with entertainment options.
- Quite simply, properties with the sheer elegance, opulence and grandeur of this home are rare and this stunning Georgian home will be highly sought-after.
