A Christchurch home, dubbed the 007 house by its designer, has set an auction sale record for the city.<\/p>\n

The five-bedroom home on Glandovey Rd, Fendalton, designed by Darren O\u2019Neil from O\u2019Neill Architecture, went for $8.34 million, $620,000 above its RV, OneRoof.co.nz<\/a> reported.<\/p>\n

The sale price beat the previous record for a house auction in Christchurch, which was a heritage home on Glandovey Rd that went for $6.83m in 2018,\u00a0OneRoof reported.<\/p>\n

The New Zealand residential record of $12.8m was set two years ago by an Auckland home on Orakei Rd, Remuera.<\/p>\n

Harcourts Grenadier agent Alison Aitken, who\u00a0also holds the record for Christchurch\u2019s\u00a0biggest house sale, told OneRoof the home is\u00a0officially called Cantilever House.<\/p>\n

But on his website<\/a>, O\u2019Neil wrote: “The contemporary sculpture has a tongue-in-cheek reference to a childhood \u2018James Bond style 007\u2019 home.”<\/p>\n

The property features a cantilevered master suite, heavy-duty steel and concrete engineering, sleek glass and white finishes, sophisticated home automation and temperature control, a six-car basement garage and electronic sliding glass doors that open the glass living pavilion to the garden terraces,\u00a0OneRoof reported.<\/p>\n

It also has a pool and spa, media room and a dedicated Pilates and yoga studio. The master suite alone clocks in at nearly 60sqm,\u00a0OneRoof reported.<\/p>\n

The auction opened at $7m and immediately paused for negotiation with the sole bidder in the room. The auction then resumed, and the property was announced on the market and sold for $8.34m.<\/p>\n
