Waimataitai Residence, Timaru

A striking exterior, light-filled living spaces and views as far as the eye can see – check, check and check. This three-storey Waimataitai residence is sure to earn a few double takes from passersby and perhaps some extended stays from visitors keen to soak up a bit more luxury.

Set on one of Timaru’s most prominent sites, this 410sqm home makes the most of views to the south while capturing that all-important solar gain from the north. It’s the best of both worlds. The sense of indoor-outdoor flow is fantastic. The main living hub opens to a large northern terrace with swimming pool and open fire – it’s the height of luxury. Self-contained changing facilities ensure no wet feet will be traipsing through this refined residence.

Three large bedrooms rest on the top floor, serving family life, while a fourth downstairs has an ensuite for visitors. Two other bathrooms include an ensuite off the master bedroom. This luxurious bathing space features sun and views captured from the north and south.
