Set against one of Christchurch's most coveted riverfront addresses, this is a high-spec home of exceptional quality, considered design and an outlook that simply cannot be replicated.
Built in 2018, this sophisticated residence was designed by Sheppard and Rout Architects and crafted by Honeybone Builders.
Step inside and the first reaction is likely to be "wow". Expansive living room windows draw the river views right into the heart of the home, sliding open to connect effortlessly with the generous front deck. It's an extraordinary place to enjoy morning coffee, evening drinks or simply watch the ever-changing river beyond.
Inside, warm oak flooring creates an inviting foundation for the beautifully appointed interiors. At the centre of the home is an exceptional Ingrid Geldof Design kitchen, complete with a spacious scullery and generous open-plan living and dining. It's a space designed equally well for everyday family life and entertaining on a grand scale.
And there's more than one place to enjoy the sunshine. Glass doors open from the living area to a private rear courtyard, creating a wonderful sense of connection between the indoors and out.
Upstairs, three substantial bedrooms offer privacy and tranquillity. The master suite is particularly impressive, with pitched ceilings, a generous walk-in wardrobe and beautifully tiled ensuite. A second luxurious bathroom services the remaining bedrooms, while an internal lift provides a thoughtful touch of future proofing.
Downstairs, a fourth bedroom with its own ensuite adds another layer of flexibility. Positioned close to the main living areas, it could equally become a cosy media room, guest suite or private retreat. Above it, accessed via a cleverly concealed "secret" staircase, is a generous loft space; a feature certain to appeal to teenagers and young-at-heart adults alike.
Comfort has been carefully considered throughout. The home is fully double glazed and features a gas fire and ceiling-vented heat pumps in the living area, individual heat pumps in the bedrooms, underfloor heating in all three bathrooms and outdoor heaters serving both the front deck and rear courtyard.
Then there are the details that reveal themselves as you explore.
Behind beautifully integrated cabinetry is a discreet Ingrid Geldof Design bar. A dedicated office is tucked away from the main living space, while a guest powder room, beautifully appointed laundry, a second loft above the master suite and an oversized internal-access double garage with workbench and extensive storage add practicality without compromising the home's sophisticated aesthetic.
An integrated surround-sound system extends from inside to the outdoor spaces, setting the scene for memorable entertaining. The extensive list of quality appliances, fittings and chattels further reinforces the exceptional standard throughout.
Outside, the landscaping has been thoughtfully designed to complement the riverfront setting, with mature planting providing privacy from every direction. A five-zone irrigation system keeps the gardens looking their best, while generous off-street parking and multiple outdoor power points provide plenty of space for vehicles, recreational equipment and all the extras that come with an active lifestyle.
The location is every bit as impressive. Zoned for Christchurch Boys' High School, Christchurch Girls' High School, Burnside High School, Heaton Intermediate and Elmwood Primary, you're also within easy reach of some of Christchurch's finest private schools. Hagley Park is within walking distance, while the central city and Christchurch Airport are just minutes' drive away.
12 Clifford Avenue is not simply a beautiful home; it is a rare combination of architecture, craftsmanship, functionality and an extraordinary riverfront setting.
