A Home Reimagined

The renovation maintained the property’s generous proportions, including an eight-car garage, while enhancing every space to better suit modern living. At the heart of the home, a light-filled open-plan kitchen, dining, and living zone forms the central hub, complemented by a formal dining room and refined sunken lounge, perfect for everything from celebratory dinners to relaxed evenings by the fire.

Upstairs, three of the four bedrooms open onto a sweeping balcony that connects the home to its landscaped surroundings. With three bathrooms, a home office, and a den, the home is designed for effortless family living and entertaining.

Outdoor Elegance

The grounds mirror the home’s dual personality. Formal gardens at the front evoke traditional charm, while the rear opens to a relaxed entertaining area complete with pool, spa, and multiple patios.

Taking centre stage is a Trendz Twin Peak outdoor fireplace, custom stone-clad to complement the property’s landscape design. Positioned on a timber deck beside the pool, the fireplace is echoed in the property’s low garden walls, creating a cohesive aesthetic throughout.

Award-Winning Craftsmanship

The project was brought to life by McIntosh Builders, a fourth-generation family business with a long history of building excellence in Canterbury. Founded in 1996 by Alastair McIntosh, the company is known for its meticulous attention to detail and commitment to quality, qualities that shine through in every element of this award-winning 2025 renovation.
