Presenting a compelling example of timeless villa architecture reimagined for modern family life.

Profiled in Homestyle Magazine and positioned just moments from the Herne Bay and Ponsonby action, this beautifully elevated residence has been immaculately renovated by award-winning architect Jose Gutierrez, delivering a home of remarkable quality, sophistication and livability.

Behind the iconic square-fronted façade, the home unfolds across two beautifully resolved levels where heritage character and contemporary architecture exist in perfect balance. Original detailing has been carefully preserved, while expansive glazing, soaring proportions and thoughtfully curated materials introduce warmth, openness and natural light throughout. Bespoke wood cabinetry by Cameron Grey is a key feature, bringing richness, texture and exceptional craftsmanship to the interiors.

Architecturally conceived as two stacked monolithic forms, the rear extension creates a striking contrast between the industrial solidity of its exterior and the warmth and light-filled calm within. Expansive open plan living and dining spaces connect effortlessly to the outdoors, creating an environment equally suited to relaxed family life and refined entertaining. The kitchen is beautifully appointed with separate scullery, while the connection to the landscaped gardens and swimming pool is immediate and intuitive. Designed by Andy Hamilton Studio, the grounds provide both atmosphere and privacy, enhancing the home’s resort-like feel.

Configured with four bedrooms, two bathrooms, a library or study and off-street parking, the home offers exceptional functionality for families. Follow the sculptural custom staircase to the upper level primary suite, a peaceful retreat with gorgeous views towards the city skyline.

Winner of a DINZ Best Design Award, this is a home of genuine architectural substance. Highly functional, visually compelling and positioned moments from the cafés, boutiques and lifestyle of Herne Bay and Ponsonby, it stands comfortably within a league of its own.
