introducing the gabled white house — an exceptional architectural residence positioned in amongst fendalton’s finest, and one of the best houses in christchurch. after a 48 year tenure of this site and almost a 10 year post quake build, this home is now for sale. set back from the street and approached via a striking cypress lined avenue, this home offers unmatched privacy, elegance, and design pedigree. created by andrew patterson architects, it stands as a rare fusion of contemporary living, sculptural form, and timeless sophistication.
step inside to a dramatic entry hall — a stunning central axis with a soaring ceiling rising over eight metres. this enhanced, gallery like space sets the tone for the home’s impeccable design, offering the perfect backdrop for art, entertaining, and memorable first impressions. the ground floor unfolds with seamless flow between living, dining, and kitchen zones. large pocket sliding doors, retractable windows, and soft drapery create a flexible layout that adapts effortlessly from open-plan living to intimate, tucked-away spaces. full-height openings frame curated vistas through the home, offering uninterrupted sightlines from the front garden to the rear.
outdoors, the established gardens have been designed in a series of “rooms,” each offering its own atmosphere and purpose — ideal for alfresco dining, relaxation, or simply soaking in the tranquility of the leafy surrounds.
a sculptural spiral staircase anchors the home architecturally and leads to the upper level, where two wings are beautifully connected. the floorplan is future proofed with a passenger lift, servicing all levels including the four bedrooms and two well-appointed bathrooms. the master suite is complemented by a private study — perfect for working from home or enjoying a quiet retreat.
this is more than a home — it is a statement of design, lifestyle, and location.
a truly rare offering in fendalton, where architectural excellence meets serene garden living.
