Have you heard of the 80/20 rule? In this case it means 80% peace of mind and 20% pure lifestyle - wrapped up in one incredibly spacious Remuera home.
With approximately 80% concrete construction and 20% solid plaster, this seriously spacious five or six bedroom home is tailor‑made for large and extended families who love having everyone under one roof. The two‑bedroom self‑contained unit downstairs is perfect for grandparents, teens, guests or a handy home‑and‑income stream to help with the mortgage.
Expanded and modernised, this commanding home is almost certainly one of the largest homes within an easy stroll of Meadowbank School in the same street - no car queue required. Families love this location for its community feel, great schooling options and simple city connections.
Living so high on the ridge comes with everyday benefits you really feel - all‑day sunshine and those magical views. From the sumptuous open‑plan living areas you enjoy a spectacular widescreen outlook across to Mount Eden, Mount Hobson, the Sky Tower and Rangitoto Island, with a wide wraparound barbeque deck that is the ultimate grandstand to see in the New Year and watch the fireworks with friends and family.
Upstairs offers everything one busy family could wish for: a generous kitchen/dining/living zone, three big bedrooms, two bathrooms, plus a separate laundry to keep the mess out of sight. Downstairs is equally spacious and self‑contained, with its own kitchen/dining/living area and another two large bedrooms with a combined bathroom/laundry, making it ideal for blended families, long‑staying guests or an income‑earning flat.
The sixth bedroom or work‑from‑home office sits conveniently near the front door between the grand entry staircase and the generous double garage, giving clients or teenagers their own sense of independence. Outside there is flat grass for kids and pets, a carport and secure off‑street parking for up to seven extra vehicles – a rare find in this area.
When asked what they love most, the owners talk about the superb location, the breathtaking views, the flexible “home for all seasons of life” layout and the comforting feeling of solidity and permanence that comes from such robust construction. It is the kind of home that has looked after two families, and it's ready to do the same for the next.
