For the first time, we present 96 Clifton Terrace to the market. An amalgamation of unbeatable city views and iconic architecture, designed by the locally renowned Jack Cantlon in 1984. This statement residence was built to showcase the class construction of native timbers, tongue-and-groove ceilings, and feature dormer windows. Quality craftsmanship and attention to detail are evident in every corner, creating a beautiful living environment. Positioned to capture one-of-a-kind views, the breathtaking vista is framed by large picture windows and enjoyed most from the balcony, a spectacular area to raise a toast while gazing across the river at the entire city and mountains beyond. The recently reconditioned cedar exterior and high-pitched facade are hard to miss when crossing the Fitzherbert Bridge, and the home also features in paintings by local artist Sarah Platt. The 242m2 (more or less) floor plan consists of large open plan living areas, front and centre to the view, including a step-down living room, a family and dining area, and for a cosy retreat, there is a library with access to a sheltered patio, recently constructed to mimic the geometric designs throughout the home. With only two owners, this impressive home has been gently loved and well-cared for to retain its character. There is an original rimu kitchen with updated appliances and a large pantry, as well as two tidy original bathrooms, offering the opportunity to enjoy the originality or to modernise and enhance this iconic property further. Up the feature staircase are four generous bedrooms, all with storage, including the castle-like master bedroom, a luxurious-size room with two window seats and an ensuite. Nestled down a rear driveway and encased in established trees, there is a large double carport, a tool shed and good off-street parking. A manageable amount of lawn space is edged by a bush-lined front, creating an easy-care lifestyle with more time to soak up the tranquillity and enjoy the view. Robust and well-designed architecture like this is rare, especially with an irreplaceable location and view that can only be seen to be believed. Contact Jeremy or Whetu for a private viewing, or we look forward to seeing you at the open home.
