About this property
This 1960's classic Toomath and Wilson design is noted as an '… iconic NZ beach house' and was first built by Pam and Jim Fitzgerald in Raumati. Upon transferring to Christchurch, they built it again for their four young children in 1962, adding a large multi-functional room with glass doors; ideal for hockey duels, dance rehearsals, car parking, and of course… hosting garden club functions and parties.Throughout this three-bedroomed home, the clean lines and continuous spaces contrast with the indoors celebrating modernist architectural ideas. The original timber kitchen and separate living spaces are separated by timber and glass partitions simulating a visual connection, reflecting light and colour. Exposed beams and a high sloping roof add to the spaciousness.
North facing with views over the city towards the sunset, this home is a deceased estate and is offered for the first time. A flat section is a rare find on Mount Pleasant; with drive-on access, there are just two steps to take you inside, where you will be immediately transported into the authentic style and ambience of the 60's.
A comfortable oasis; reroofed, extensive double glazing, and two heat pumps for comfort.
An iconic piece of Kiwi architectural history.
