Where the view
steals the show.
The residence
A front-row seat above the sea.
Designed by renowned architect John Chaplin, this substantial Clifton Hill home draws the coastline into almost every room.
Well positioned on Sumner’s desirable lower slopes, the outlook reaches across the beach and Cave Rock to the Kaikōuras. The home’s distinctive architecture has been thoughtfully updated, including a new StoPanel cavity cladding improvement, to create generous yet easy-care coastal living.
Room to live beautifully
Sun, shelter and a remarkable horizon.
Two separate living areas make space for both quiet evenings and effortless entertaining, while the generous north-facing terrace offers a sheltered place to gather above Sumner.
Inside & out
Everyday life,
elevated.
The Palazzo kitchen anchors the home with floor-to-ceiling glazing and a generous breakfast bar. Wool carpet, extensive underfloor heating, a heat pump and a consented low-emission log burner provide comfort through every season.
