A Landmark Remuera Residence - Heritage Elevated, Luxury Redefined
CV $18,000,000 (2024)
Few homes in Auckland carry the presence, pedigree, and refinement of this remarkable Georgian estate. Recently revealed following a comprehensive designer transformation, this iconic residence now stands as one of Remuera’s most accomplished family homes, where historic architecture is seamlessly fused with contemporary international sophistication.
Positioned on an elevated 2,082 m² holding along prestigious Arney Crescent, within the sought-after Double Grammar Zone, the residence spans approximately 741 m² and commands both scale and elegance. Originally crafted in the 1880s by celebrated architect Draffin, whose legacy includes the Auckland War Memorial Museum, the home has been thoughtfully re-envisioned by Sydney-based architect Harvey Little, bringing a polished New York sensibility to its classical foundations.
The interiors are both grand and inviting. Five beautifully proportioned bedrooms are complemented by a master suite of exceptional luxury, alongside two private guest or family suites, each complete with their own ensuite and lounge, ideal for extended family living or hosting with ease. A separate external office with adjoining bathroom offers versatility as a professional workspace or additional guest accommodation.
Original architectural elements have been carefully preserved and elevated, soaring ceilings, ornate plaster detailing, and a sweeping staircase set the tone, while the new design introduces a refined, contemporary palette of crisp whites, warm timbers, and elegant brass accents. The result is a home that feels timeless yet current, stately yet comfortable.
Multiple living areas allow for effortless entertaining and everyday family life, enhanced by a grand library, private gym, and a bespoke wine cellar. Below, an expansive underground garage provides secure accommodation for four or more vehicles.
Outdoors, the home is framed by exquisite gardens designed by acclaimed landscape architect Paul Bangay. Manicured lawns, structured planting, and a resort-style pool terrace create a private sanctuary, equally suited to large gatherings or quiet retreat.
This is a residence of rare calibre, rich in history, elevated by design, and perfectly suited to modern family living. An exceptional opportunity to secure one of Remuera’s most distinguished and beautifully reimagined homes.
