A Grand Georgian Masterpiece Reimagined with New York Style
Step into history with this iconic Georgian residence - newly unveiled after an extensive designer refurbishment that has transformed it into the ultimate Remuera family home. Situated on one of Auckland’s most prestigious streets, within the coveted Double Grammar Zones, this is a property where timeless architecture meets modern international style.
Set on an elevated 2,082 m² site on Arney Crescent, the home spans approximately 741 m², offering exceptional scale and elegance. Originally designed in the 1880s by renowned architect Draffin - whose later works include the Auckland War Memorial Museum - this stately residence has been masterfully re-imagined by Sydney architect Harvey Little to blend its Georgian heritage with the sophistication of New York living.
Inside, the home reveals five beautifully appointed bedrooms. A master suite of luxurious proportions as well as two full private suites each with their own ensuite and lounge - ideal for multi-generational families or guests. A dedicated external office with adjoining bathroom offers the perfect work-from-home retreat or an alternate guest suite.
Every detail has been meticulously considered. From the grand entrance hall and sweeping staircase to the high ceilings and intricate plasterwork, the interiors exude refinement and calm. The newly completed refurbishment introduces a polished New York inspired palette - crisp whites, rich timbers, brass accents - creating a space that feels both contemporary and timeless.
Multiple living zones provide flexibility for entertaining and family life, while a grand library, gym, and custom wine cellar add depth to the home’s amenity. The underground garage accommodates four-plus vehicles with ease.
Outdoors, gardens designed by acclaimed landscape architect Paul Bangay frame the home in elegance. Expansive lawns, structured hedging, and a luxurious pool terrace create a serene private haven perfect for gatherings and relaxation.
This is a residence of stature and soul - a home that balances heritage grace with international flair. Offering history, design pedigree, and true family functionality, it is without question one of Remuera’s most remarkable homes.
