27 Clifton Road, Herne Bay, Auckland

Room for your weekend vehicles

Like two homes in one, this architecturally designed gem on the northern slopes of high-end Herne Bay is family fabulous with room to grow. Striking from the street with its broad entryway and Japanese-inspired landscaping, four bedrooms, three living areas, and an internal garage with parking for four vehicles are a rare configuration in the desirable coastal suburb, providing space and separation for active households. Boasting an idyllic balance between refined elegance and practical family retreat, the home comprises two distinct wings, connected by a central breezeway and wrapped around a zen garden and sparkling lap pool. Functionally fabulous without sacrificing any inch of style, the home was completely redeveloped by the award-winning Leushke Kahn Architects in 2013, with tasteful touches creating a sumptuous statement that's refined, yet easy-care for the busy resident, punctuated by American Oak flooring, exposed brick, beautiful wall dressings and smart storage solutions throughout. From the kitchen, enjoy a view of all the action, with a clear line of sight over the casual lounge to the louvre-tech-covered courtyard, north-facing for day-long sun. Multi-zoned with a moody media room and two bedrooms apiece, each wing caters perfectly for growing families, sometimes city-siders and constant entertainers, with the south wing providing peace and respite from its private grassy lawn. Three bathrooms and internally accessible quadruple car garaging plus off-street accommodation for two more vehicles is a significant win for the car collector, while a plum position steps from Salisbury Reserve, Herne Bay Beach, and vibrant Jervois Road present an unsurpassed urban lifestyle proposition. Zoned for excellent schools - a must for families trading up, and with all the right features for professionals set on ‘wowing' visitors, the home is an undeniable value proposition, offering space and a clever design that'll grow with you.
