As renowned Architect David Sheppard, gradually retires, we ask is this perhaps the last, or one of the last of his enduring masterpieces. Simple and understated, but beautiful and clever, this is a house reflecting the Maestro's indomitable style.
Completed around 2018 by Mark Prosser Builders, the single level dwelling is positioned perfectly in one of Fendalton's most illustrious streets. This enviable location is home to so many carefully restored early Canterbury houses and those which did not survive are replaced by superb modern architecture.
Uncomplicated but striking in white cedar, the house presents clean lines to the street with generous parking and garaging. Inside all is exquisitely finished with a layout to suit a variety of family arrangements. Skylights flood the house with sun and light, including in the covered verandah providing light filled shelter outdoors. The two living areas both have gas fires, and in-slab heating as well as ducted air conditioning, ensure comfort year round. A kitchen fit for a chef has two faces, public and private, with a huge scullery behind the minimal white façade directing the family space. Luxury abounds in the master suite with a lavish bathroom.
Outside hedging and lawn is tastefully structured and requires minimal upkeep, perhaps making this home a good choice for those who travel or have second residences. The outdoor area has a fireplace and an inbuilt sound system perfect for summer entertaining!
Our sellers have loved their time here but have decided on a complete lifestyle change. How fortunate for those in search of a home all on one level with the bonus of an inspired and attractive design from one of our most significant Architects.
