One Of North Shores Finest Seaward Side Homes

12 CLIFTON ROAD, HAURAKI

One of Auckland's most tightly held and coveted addresses, 12 Clifton is the epitome of class and style, offering the ultimate in family living. This spectacular Lawrence Sumich-designed, completely reworked character bungalow has recently undergone a full renovation and is the example of seaward-side luxury without compromise.

Clifton Road needs no introduction. It has always been a contender as one of the top streets on the North Shore given its proximity to the beach, motorway access and Takapuna itself. The site, one of the larger land holdings on this side of the road, offers over 1,300 sqm of prime, flat land, giving you an amazing sense of scale and space. The beautifully landscaped property, a mix of hard and soft landscaping, feels very private thanks to its mature planting creating lush vistas.

Uniquely, the property offers up to nine car garaging. Conservatively, it accommodates five cars that would have the ability to enter and access at any time with ease, but secure storage for nine if required. A turntable that rotates the vehicles makes it easy to enter and exit.

In addition to the garaging is a separate driveway where you can park a motor home, "Sea Legs" or further cars for guests or your children. This provides good day-to-day parking for tradespeople and gardeners if one so desired.

As you arrive at 12 Clifton, you know that you're about to witness something very special. Timeless character meets modern perfection - but with space and floor area to burn! The total building area sits over 700sqm!

The main living space comprises three separate areas with formal and informal lounges at the front of the home, which benefits from lovely morning sun. Gorgeous built-in cabinetry, detailed timber ceilings and custom-built fireplaces set off the interior tone superbly - a typical nod to Sumich architecture and their attention to detail. To the rear, you have a sensational entertainer's kitchen with a very large, beautifully appointed island that opens and flows out to both the side and the rear of the home. This central hub leads to a covered loggia and large heated swimming pool beyond.

The loggia cleverly extends the already generous main living and is a simply superb alfresco space to entertain. A butler's pantry with large storage and additional refrigeration sits in behind the kitchen.

As you move out towards the rear of the home, there is a fantastically appointed separate pool house. This is dedicated to entertaining with excellent separation, meaning an ideal teenage retreat and additional accommodation space. This space has a pool table, lounge, bar area and full bathroom. A spacious lawn will give the children room to kick a football or to house a trampoline if required. Accommodation-wise, the home will accommodate a large family with ease, with flexible options and the ability to add more rooms if required.

Each space is very generous, and astute buyers will be impressed with the fit-out and specs. The master suite is impressive and offers a lavish ensuite and walk-in wardrobe. This suite benefits from lovely vistas out over Clifton Road. Bifold windows bring in morning light and the sounds of the sea.

The home has reverse cycle heating and cooling as well as under-floor heating in the bathrooms. Brand-new double-glazed timber joinery, a completely new roof and all-new interiors leave absolutely nothing for the new owners to do other than move in and enjoy.

If you are in the market for an uncompromising, near new, large-volume family home on well over a quarter acre of land, then 12 Clifton must be on your list to view.

It can only be described as one of the very best seaward side homes on the Shore.
