Our Home was built 5 years ago to our own minimalist specifications which we are thrilled our Architect interpreted so well for us. We love the spacious open plan layout which takes wonderful advantage of our sea views from the extensive glass front & balconies. We have 3 double bedrooms, the master with an ensuite & the remaining 2 bedrooms share a bathroom. The downstairs open plan living, dining & kitchen has a mahogany timber floor. There is a separate smaller (carpeted) TV, music listening room which we retreat to regularly especially in winter. We have a laundry, small office & separate WC downstairs also. There is internal access to a double garage. The house sits high on Scarborough Hill above Sumner Beach & about 20mins from Christchurch City.
We are a well travelled couple who love holidays & adventures. We completed our first home exchange in September 2009 when we went to San Francisco & are now totally sold on the idea! We followed this up with a home swap in Spain this April but had to cut it short due to the 'volcanic ash' situation. I will reply to all enquiries as soon as possible.
Scarborough is a much sought after hill suburb of Christchurch City. It sits above Sumner which has a very popular Beach for both surfing & swimming. Sumner is a delightful Village with wonderful cafes & restaurants. 10 minutes by car or bus will take you to Ferrymead where there is wind surfing & kite surfing. 10 more minutes & you will be in the heart of Christchurch City. Please check the following website to give you an indication of whether this is a location you would like to visit (www.christchurch.org.nz) Christchurch is considered the gateway to the South Island where there are many tourist attractions.
