A Claude Megson NZIA Award winning home is designed for living. Much admired and tightly held, the celebrated architect's houses rarely come to market, and for good reason - those lucky enough to live in them understand how life-enhancing they are.

This two-zoned residence, The Norris House, was known to be one of Megson's own favourites. His manipulation of vertical space is a feature of the interiors. Positioned on a Freehold 736sqm and immaculately presented and maintained by the current owners who have loved it since 2009, its layout is both clever and calming.

From the formal living room with its exposed beams and fireplace to the more relaxed spaces for reading or retreat, every room feels considered. The north-west aspect brings in beautiful light throughout the day, while large windows frame views across the garden, Hobson Bay and out to the harbour.

The kitchen is crisp and streamlined, tucked neatly into the heart of the home and opening directly to the excellent paved courtyard. It's a perfect spot for entertaining, well sheltered and incredibly private. There's a relaxed indoor-outdoor rhythm here that suits both families and professionals who love to host.

Three bedrooms plus a study, with the main suite featuring built-in joinery, a reading nook and lovely views. Two bathrooms and a guest powder room are timeless and tidy.

The home is crafted from solid concrete construction with steel joinery, while the landscaped gardens that surround it enhance its strong architectural lines. Garaging for three cars and generous storage complete the package.

Zoned for Victoria Avenue School and both Auckland Grammar and Epsom Girls Grammar, the northern slopes Remuera location is highly sought after, where you can walk to the Walton Street shops with ease. For those who value design and quality, this is a rare opportunity to secure one of Megson's most admired homes.
