A solid, classical, and timeless home designed by a European architect, 12 Godley Drive combines form, function, and exceptional craftsmanship. Set on a generous 900sqm section with an impressive 400sqm floor area, this property was built by the current owner 35 years ago and has been lovingly maintained by its one and only owner ever since. Constructed with enduring quality in mind, this brick and concrete home (built in 1999) showcases extensive use of solid timber, unique architectural detailing, and low-maintenance interior and exterior finishes. Fitted with an economical central heating system, double glazing, and insulation equal to or above code, the home was built to exceed standards at the time of construction and can be easily adjusted to suit all seasons.
Arguably offering some of the best views on Scarborough and across Greater Christchurch, the property captures sweeping vistas of the sea, the Southern Alps, and the peninsula from almost every room. Generously proportioned, it features two living areas, five double bedrooms, a spacious office, a crafts room, and a self-contained studio/apartment-perfect for guests or extended family. Two bathrooms, a separate shower room, and separate toilets add convenience, while a versatile workshop space provides potential for additional garaging or other uses.
North-facing and bathed in sunlight throughout the day, the home enjoys morning light in the kitchen, dining, bathroom, and conservatory, midday sun in most rooms, and warm afternoon light in the living and bedroom areas. The mature, well-developed garden includes fruit trees and a productive vegetable garden, offering both beauty and practicality.
