12 Clifford Avenue

The Wow Factor!

A spectacular river setting, uncompromising craftsmanship and sophisticated design combine in this post-quake home to create a property that is truly unforgettable.

The first thing most people say when they walk in the door at 12 Clifford Ave is "wow". Perfectly positioned on one of Christchurch's most prestigious riverfront streets, the views from this home across the river are unique and truly exceptional.

Designed by Sheppard and Rout Architects and beautifully constructed in 2018 by Honeybone Builders, this contemporary home's unique proximity to the river means it appears to almost float above the water.

Framed by expansive living room windows which slide back to provide seamless indoor-outdoor flow to the large deck, the river creates a stunning backdrop to everyday life.

The quality of this property is unmistakable. Warm oak floors help showcase the heart of the home; a stunning Ingrid Geldof Design kitchen complete with spacious scullery. The kitchen sits within a generous open-plan living room, which offers plenty of space for family and friends to gather. Glass doors out to the private back courtyard mean you can catch the sun whatever the time of day.

Upstairs, three large bedrooms provide peaceful retreats, including a luxurious master suite featuring pitched ceilings, a walk-in wardrobe and beautifully tiled ensuite. A second designer bathroom services the other two bedrooms, while the internal lift offers security for those planning ahead.

Adding incredible flexibility is a second master suite on the ground floor, complete with its own ensuite, private entrance and the ability to be separated from the main home.

Comfort is a focus of this beautiful property, which is fully double glazed, has a gas fire and ceiling-vented heat pumps in the living room, a heat pump in each bedroom, underfloor heating in all three bathrooms, and outdoor heaters for the front deck and back courtyard.

This incredible property continues to surprise and delight. Discover a discreet Ingrid Geldof Design bar behind beautiful built-in cabinetry, a dedicated office tucked away off the living area and a large loft space accessible through hidden stairs within a downstairs wardrobe. A guest powder room, Ingrid Geldof laundry, second loft space above the master suite and an oversized internal-access double garage with workbench and extensive shelving complete the inside spaces.

An integrated surround-sound music system, operable both inside and out, makes this home perfect for entertaining, while the list of quality appliances and chattels is extensive.

This property has been thoughtfully landscaped and planted to complement its riverfront position, enjoying privacy from neighbours on all sides. A five-zone irrigation system takes care of all the gardens, while good off-street parking and a range of outdoor power points means there's room for all the vehicles and toys.

Zoned for CBHS, CGHS, Heaton Intermediate and Elmwood Primary, the property is also close to a range of Christchurch's most prestigious private schools and is a short walk to Hagley Park and just minutes' drive to the central city.

This is a home where timeless design, premium finishes and an extraordinary setting come together to create something truly special.
