PAGE 26 Wednesday <strong>October</strong> <strong>14</strong> <strong>2020</strong> BAY HARBOUR Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz REAL ESTATE Looking for the 'wow factor'? 6 Starwood Lane, Clifton Auction on 5 November 3 bedrooms 2 bathrooms 2 car garage 2 off-street parks - Listing No. 5513185 This contemporary classic 2018 build is aligned perfectly on the site to give stunning uninterrupted views from the Southern Alps through to the Kaikouras. Situated in a well established and quiet cul-de-sac, on the upper slopes of Clifton Hill, this standout architecturally designed home by Architects' Creative, gives an easy, relaxed style of living. Floor to ceiling views, including the open cantilevered nor'west corner, define the downstairs living/dining/kitchen areas and also the master bedroom, which incorporates a walk-in wardrobe and ensuite. Included on the ground floor is a separate study (could be a fourth bedroom) with its own entrance and toilet. Defining that form and function should go hand-in-hand, the deceptively simple kitchen is sleek, stylish and a joy to operate in. The infinity deck means the view gets even better as the sun goes down and the city lights come into their own. A skylight illuminates the staircase, leading up to the cosy, sundrenched second lounge. The upstairs bedrooms lead off from there, each with their own built-in wardrobes and each with a stunning view. The family bathroom, featuring both bath and shower, along with a separate toilet, completes the picture. Eco-friendly, with solar panels and a lithium battery to store the sunshine, this home will put you in a holiday mood from the moment you cross the causeway. Abundant recreational opportunities are offered in the vicinity, with a hot spa-pool waiting to soak in when you get home. With surf at the bottom of the hill, skiing an hour and a half away and an international airport within a 40 minute drive, all bases are covered. An internal access double garage with loft adds to the already generous storage space and off-street parking is provided for. Escape the city and live the difference!
