This stunning 1920s character home in the heart of Remuera is truly one of a kind. Designed by renowned architect Sholto Smith, it showcases a calibre of craftsmanship rarely seen today. The current owner has spared no expense in seamlessly blending modern comfort and luxury with the home's jaw-dropping Arts and Crafts-style charm. Located in Auckland's ultimate blue-chip suburb and offering generous family proportions, this is a dream home for the discerning buyer.
Step through the stone pillars from the street entrance and be immediately captivated. The grand Cronin kitchen, elegant living spaces with gas fireplaces, and a spacious formal dining room deliver modern convenience while preserving the home's refined heritage. Behind the timeless decor lie extensive updates, including new electrics, security enhancements, and insulated windows. A brand-new roof with 4,000 cedar shingles and a full exterior repaint in 2024 ensure the home's beauty is matched by its structural integrity.
Accommodation is generous and versatile, with five bedrooms (including a self-contained sleepout with bathroom), multiple living areas, and a double garage plus off-street parking. Upstairs, the serene master suite is accompanied by three additional bedrooms, a family bathroom, and a study nook - perfect for working from home.
Outdoors, the home continues to impress. Enjoy a solar-heated pool and spa, a sheltered patio with outdoor fireplace and built-in sound system, and manicured gardens that create a private, resort-like setting. The original garage has been converted for firewood storage, while the new under-terrace garage, workshop, and sleepout offer added flexibility - even Airbnb potential.
From the original architectural design to every thoughtful modern enhancement, the care and craftsmanship defining this residence are unmistakable. Its adaptable layout and seamless blend of timeless character and contemporary convenience make it ideal for a range of households and lifestyles.
Set on a 764sqm (approx.) freehold section in one of Remuera's most peaceful side streets, the property benefits from Double Grammar zoning and proximity to Remuera Primary and Intermediate. The town center is within walking distance, public transport is easily accessible, and motorway links are just minutes away - providing effortless access to the best of Auckland.
This is a home to admire, live in, and cherish for generations to come. Viewing by private appointment only.
