Riverstone House

Thoughtful, open and with a warm heart, this home south of Christchurch ticks all the boxes for the owner and her teenage son.

Easy wheelchair access is key to the design, resulting in a simple yet smart home with good flow throughout.

The 180sqm, single-level layout features three bedrooms, two bathrooms and two living spaces, including a large open-plan hub overlooking the street. Sliding doors open to a wraparound deck for enjoying fresh air and sunshine.

The second lounge is specially designed as a teen hangout, allowing youngsters to kick back while mum enjoys a bit of peace and quiet in her own space.

Every corner of the home is perfectly personalised for the residents – and all within a tight budget.

The master bedroom is complete with its own ensuite, while the large main bathroom is fully wheelchair accessible. The kitchen’s open U-shaped layout is ideal too, even featuring a dual-level breakfast bar.

A space-savvy and cost-effective design, this home promises the family freedom and peace of mind.
