Pied-à-terre in the Heart of Merivale
Designed by one of our renowned architects, the late Peter Beaven, our owners had 'great bones' to work with to create a home that reflects their Parisian inspired style. A master in maximising useable space on a small footprint, you can be sure Beaven would be impressed with the current interior design that enhances what could have been his intention to live comfortably in a compact space. The first impression of this pied-à-terre is the courtyard where gardens and mirrors enhance the space that includes a private deck positioned to capture the last of the setting sun, gardens for growing 'picking' flowers and vegetables and trees that heighten the vista from the ground floor and attract bird life. The predominantly black and white kitchen is positioned to oversee the open plan living and dining area and beyond to the northern courtyard. Luscious carpet, a heat pump and double glazing ensure comfort all year around. The second bathroom is on this level and is an ideal and attractive option when visitors come to stay. The second floor is an eclectic mix of shapes and spaces as essentially the building is three levels, two wedge shaped levels, topped with a tower loft. The parquet floor reflects light into the bathroom which is partnered with a very functional laundry. Both double bedrooms have windows opening to the north and to the activity of Merivale. Shutters used in the stairwell and master bedroom - open wide for natural light and breeze during the day and close for privacy during the evening. Ladder access to the tower loft which is currently used as a craft room where our owner feels 'on top of the world' as she attends to her hobbies. With the iconic round window to the east and windows to the north and west this room is a fabulous space which is light filled throughout the day. It is an ideal space for fun or study or relaxation and is sure to become a favourite. A separate garage, adjacent to the home, is accessed from the entrance to The Long Cottage Mews. Without a doubt this pied-a- terre in this location makes for a great home. It could also be a great lock and leave. Additionally this address is zoned for Christchurch Girls' High School and Christchurch Boys' High School and Private school's nearby. A car -less lifestyle is on offer here as a short stroll will see you arrive on time to work, whether that is the city, Victoria St or Merivale, to meet your running partner en route to Hagley Park or to catch your friend at one of the many local cafes, bars or restaurants. You will feel indulged every day of your life if you secure 2/142 Rugby St. Our owners have created such a wonderful slice of Parisian lifestyle, in the heart of Merivale. It is a wrench to have to leave but with health concerns dictating the move they are resolute in their decision to sell. Only ONE astute buyer can own this property. Don't just dream that it might be you. Make it happen. Call me today or visit one of our many open homes.
