Perfectly positioned to embrace the serenity and ever-changing vistas of Charteris Bay, this exceptional residence is a masterclass in thoughtful design, modern functionality, and timeless elegance. Originally designed by architect David Childs and extensively renovated in 2015 under the expert guidance of Allan Eng from Interspace, this home is as practical as it is beautiful.


Crafted with meticulous care, the home is fully accessible, providing seamless mobility across all levels via platform lifts, over-width doors, and roll-in/walk-in showers. Whether you're seeking a forever home or a luxurious coastal retreat, this residence ensures comfort and dignity for all.


Boasting three generously appointed bedrooms, including two with en-suites, the layout is ideal for families or guests. One en-suite bedroom is located on the ground level, with direct access to the heated pool, complete with counter-current jets for invigorating exercise or relaxed lounging.


Floor-to-ceiling thermally broken, double-glazed, argon-filled windows frame panoramic views across the bay, flooding the interiors with natural light while maintaining year-round comfort. A suite of high-spec climate controls includes heat recovery ventilation with pollen air filters, radiator heating via air-to-water heat pump, hydronic underfloor heating in the dining area, and a discreet hydronic trench heater, ensuring energy-efficient warmth and fresh air throughout.


At the heart of the home is a sleek European-style kitchen, finished in crisp white with a servery window opening to the sheltered patio—perfect for effortless entertaining. Culinary enthusiasts will revel in the three Miele ovens (steam, moisture-controlled, and combi) and induction cooktop, while a dedicated drinks station with its own sink and dish drawer for stemware adds a touch of sophistication to every gathering.


Step out to the sun-drenched patio, where automated retractable sun awnings and overhead balcony heaters extend your enjoyment well into the evening. Whether poolside dining or sunset cocktails, every detail has been considered for your year-round comfort.
Practicality is equally catered to with a double garage featuring an automatic door, a climate-controlled storage cupboard, two additional off-street parks, and a large carport ideal for a boat or motorhome. Constructed for longevity and minimal maintenance, the home features Nuwall aluminium cladding, low-VOC internal paints, and Outdure composite decks on aluminium framing, complemented by tiered easy-care gardens with raised planter boxes.


Offered to the market fully furnished and walk-in ready, this is a rare opportunity to secure an architecturally significant, future-proofed, and stunningly positioned home in one of Canterbury’s most coveted waterfront communities.
