62 | Elegant, inner city living Each home will span a generous 220sqm and offer three bedrooms, three bathrooms and a large living/dining area. DEVELOPMENT Growcott Freer Property: Gracefield Avenue T T Karen Phelps People are moving from the outer suburbs into the city centre in Christchurch to capture the lifestyle on offer, says Growcott Freer Property general manager Vaughan Ellis. “People love being close to events, restaurants and the central city culture,” he says. Following on from the success of its sold out project at 24 Devonport Lane in Merivale, Growcott Freer Property’s next project under construction is 32 Gracefield Avenue. Vaughan describes the homes as an “exquisite blend of modern elegance and comfort offering people a truly exceptional lifestyle”. “We could have built many more compact units on the site but we owe it to the beauty of the street and suburb to build very high end architecturally designed homes. We’re trying to improve how residential dwellings can be built in the central city – quality not necessarily volume. This includes creating green spaces and room to breathe within the development.” There will be just six high-end homes built on the site with vehicle consideration including a large double garage and enough space to park another two cars off street for every home, which is exceptional for the inner city, says Vaughan. Each home will span a generous 220sqm and offer three bedrooms, three bathrooms and a large living/dining area. This central open-plan living/dining area lets in the sunlight thanks to its north-facing orientation where there is a contemporary kitchen and scullery with high-spec appliances, a woodgrain concrete or brick feature spine wall stretching the entire length of the building and sleek bespoke cabinetry. This transitions seamlessly to two spacious entertaining deck areas and garden. The staircase leads to a private sanctuary, where the primary suite boasts a lavish tiled ensuite and ample wardrobe space. The family bathroom serves the two remaining generously sized bedrooms, complemented by a well-appointed guest powder room on the ground floor. Vaughan says that every aspect of interior design, from colours to specifications, has been expertly curated by award-winning designer Georgia Langridge from Modi Design, offering purchasers three distinct design schemes. The homes feature top-quality materials including The Architectural Roofing Company Snap Lock tray roofing and wall cladding, Canterbury Clay Bricks’ handmade Emperor bricks and cedar weatherboards. Vaughan says the location of the homes is exceptional. “Property owners can enjoy leisurely strolls to Hagley Park, the Arts Centre or the any of the eateries and boutiques of Christchurch’s west end. The location is a big factor that has made these homes highly sought after with a number already sold.” He says that the area is poised for good capital growth for years to come. “The government’s commitment of over 1 billion dollars towards the new Te Kaha Stadium, which is in easy walking distance, coupled with the imminent opening of the Metro sports facility, will undoubtedly boost property values in the vicinity,” he says. Growcott Freer Property is a New Zealand owned urban property development company. It offers a bespoke selection of developments that provide both prospective investors and homeowners with the chance to own a brand new property in some of Christchurch’s most sought after neighbourhoods. Vaughan says that directors Nicholas Growcott and Isaac Freer, experienced tradesmen and lifelong friends, personally oversee every project. “They have also carefully partnered with some of the largest names in the industry to ensure the design, craftsmanship, liveability and overall building experience is perfect from conception to completion,” says Vaughan. “It is a very hands on management team that is on site every day. There are long-term relationships with all key trades and we choose as many locally manufactured products as possible. This gives back to the industry in terms of employment and local economy and minimises the carbon footprint from importing building products.” Developments vary from new homes to affordable metropolitan townhouses. Current projects include 248 Manchester Street, a 25 home development with options ranging from 83-194m2 and spanning two to three bedrooms and the same number of bathrooms. An upcoming project is 888 Colombo Street, which will offer a park-like setting on a site just under 10,000sqm. There will be 72 homes ranging from two bedrooms with a car park to two and three bedroom homes with garage. “At Growcott Freer Property we have a real passion for what we do. It’s not just a job it’s a vocation and we love creating homes for people who love quality with stylish practicality.” Andy Knight - 027 702 1055 | sales@boxitfoundations.co.nz RESIDENTIAL FOUNDATIONS • COMMERCIAL FOUNDATIONS charl@cscaffold.co.nz corporatescaffolding.co.nz 81 Buchanans Road, Hei Hei, Christchurch 8042 0275 245 777 Work With Us For information, ideas or advice about our exceptional windows and doors, talk to us.
