At the very end of Remuera’s prestigious Victoria Avenue, this extraordinary waterfront home is unlike anything else in the city. Set above Wilson’s Beach on Hobson Bay, the property enjoys an elevated, sun-drenched north-facing outlook with sweeping views across the water to Devonport, Rangitoto, the iconic boat sheds and the city skyline. A true rarity — a beachfront home in Remuera — this is a once-in-a-generation opportunity.

Designed in 1941 as the personal residence of acclaimed architect Vernon Brown, this was the last house he created for his own family and remains a celebrated example of his influential style. With its strong architectural pedigree, timeless proportions, and carefully considered orientation, the home carries both heritage and prestige. Extensively renovated in 2006 to suit modern living while respecting its history, the home has been cherished by its late owner for 24 years and now available as part of an estate sale.

The 285sqm residence offers four bedrooms, three bathrooms, an office, and multiple living areas. The open-plan kitchen, dining, and family room area flow to expansive glazing that frames the water outlook, while a separate living room with open fire provides a warm retreat. Fabulous decks extend the living spaces outdoors, where a private, sun-filled garden and sheltered entertaining areas create a seamless blend of indoor-outdoor living.

Beyond the home itself, the 705sqm site holds incredible value in its location and lifestyle. The north-facing orientation maximises sun and privacy, while the position at the end of Victoria Avenue offers exclusivity rarely found in central Auckland. Zoned for Auckland Grammar, Epsom Girls’ Grammar, and Victoria Avenue Primary, the property is also within walking distance of Remuera Village, Orakei Bay Village, and the train station, ensuring effortless connection to city life.

While the home is well presented and ready to enjoy as it is, there is exciting upside potential for buyers seeking to reimagine the property with a 2025-level fit out. Offered now to the market, this iconic residence represents a rare chance to own a piece of architectural and cultural history in one of Remuera’s most coveted waterfront positions.
