At the very end of Victoria Avenue, overlooking Wilson’s Beach and Hobson Bay, sits a home that few ever get the chance to own. North-facing, peaceful and bathed in light, it captures the ever-changing harbour views to Rangitoto, Devonport and the city — a scene that never gets old.

Designed in 1941 by acclaimed architect Vernon Brown as his own family home and extensively updated since, this residence is more than architecture; it’s a piece of Auckland’s story. Warm timber detail, cleverly framed outlooks and easy flow to full-width decks create a home that feels as good to live in as it looks.

The current owners have loved it for nearly three decades, and it’s easy to see why. Homes like this don’t come up often; when they do, it’s usually after a long wait.

Features include:

• Four bedrooms, three bathrooms + office
• Approx. 285 m² of internal living on a 705 m² site (more or less)
• Multiple sun-filled living areas opening to decks and private garden
• Separate formal lounge with wood fireplace
• Double garage + off-street parking
• Zoned for Auckland Grammar, Epsom Girls’ Grammar and Victoria Avenue Primary

This is a rare landholding and a once-in-a-generation home, architecturally significant, beautifully sited and ready for its next chapter. Whether you fall for the history, the view, or the calm of the setting, this is a home that stays with you.

With a current CV of $9.3 million, the value here speaks to the quality of the well-designed and iconic home with its breathtaking views, and the rarity of true waterfront land in Remuera. The question is: what would you pay for this lifestyle and this once in a lifetime opportunity?
