Property Description

Please park on Hackthorne Road and walk down the laneway

Set high above the city with sweeping views, 3 Stambridge Place is a home of timeless architecture, fine craftsmanship, and an exceptional location that offers both privacy and tranquillity.

Commissioned in 1980, the design is the work of national award-winning architect Don Donnithorne and was brought to life by Honeybone Builders using enduring materials: concrete, timber, and brick. Inside, extensive rimu panelling, exposed beams, and custom-built furniture create a warm, character-filled atmosphere.

Generous in scale, the home offers around 244sqm across three levels, plus approx 54sqm of garaging. The layout includes three double bedrooms and three living areas, with scope to reconfigure into four or even five bedrooms to suit family or lifestyle needs. Three-car garaging, off-street parking, and ample storage add practicality. Balconies run the full length of the home, while the ground floor connects to a swimming pool framed by established gardens. On approx 1,105sqm of land, specimen trees, rhododendrons, camellias, maples, and a walnut bring seasonal colour and maturity.

A recent renovation has future-proofed the home while honouring its architectural integrity. Upgrades include a ducted HVAC system with additional air conditioning units, double glazing, new roofing, plumbing, wiring, and insulation. Imported hardware, reimagined bathrooms, and a kitchen with granite counters and mahogany cabinetry combine modern comfort with respect for Donnithorne's original vision. Externally, new driveway, paths, fencing, and pool systems provide peace of mind.

The location is equally compelling. Just minutes from the city, you'll find cafes, walking tracks, and the Port Hills on your doorstep, with zoning for Cashmere Primary and High. The mid-hill position ensures excellent sun, shelter from prevailing winds, and a quiet backdrop of birdsong. Nearby, the historic arboretum provides a leafy outlook, while at night the city lights stretch beneath you.

An iconic example of Christchurch School architecture, refined, sensitively modernised, and ready to be enjoyed for decades to come.
