Some homes are simply properties; others are a piece of Christchurch history. Dating back to 1904 and held by just three owners since the turn of the century, this character hilltop home on a whopping 2096sqm is quite unlike anything else. Surrounded by beautifully weathered dry-stacked stone walls and established trees, including several magnificent Norfolk pines, the property enjoys an extraordinary position overlooking Sumner Beach, Scarborough and the coastline stretching towards the Kaikoura's, with Cave Rock perfectly framed in the middle.
Inside, the character is everywhere. Extensive native timber, timber panelling, old fireplaces, ship-lapped doors, leadlights, pressed-metal features and French doors combine to create a home filled with warmth and personality. The upper level was added in the early 1990s by renowned Christchurch architect John Trengrove, along with the long conservatory/sunroom and its distinctive turret. There is also an outside studio on the grounds and a 2-bunk tree house, both with power.
The spacious master suite occupies the upper level and enjoys its own ensuite and sensational views. Two further bedrooms, a second bathroom, additional shower in the laundry and a small study or 'trophy room' provide plenty of flexibility for family living, guests or working from home.
Outside, drive-on access leads to a substantial triple-car garage with deck on top, while the property occupies three lots, offering exciting future possibilities for those looking at development potential.
The property is being offered in its current as is, where is condition, providing an exceptional opportunity for those with vision to develop, restore, or simply enhance its wonderfully individual character.
And there is one final piece to the story. The owner, founder of the Coast to Coast, after 15 heart attacks, has decided it is time to move off the hill and says it's someone else's turn to have the best view on Clifton Hill. Perhaps there could be no more fitting opportunity to create your own coastal lifestyle.
