Joyful, sophisticated and anything but ordinary, this beautifully reimagined 1900s weatherboard home of 350sqm brings a playful new energy to luxurious grand-scale Remuera family living.

Whitewashed timber floors, blush-toned walls and confident contemporary finishes create a fresh magazine-worthy interior, balanced by beautiful character details.

On the upper level, open plan living, dining and family spaces flow around a double-sided gas fireplace, anchored by an entertainer’s kitchen with gorgeous natural stone bench and a butler’s pantry. Sliders open the whole space to the extraordinary 12m plantation balcony, where uninterrupted views stretch towards Rangitoto, the perfect covered oasis for hosting.

On the lower level a substantial recreation room, additional living area and office give children and adults room to spread out, opening to a covered patio, 9m heated swimming pool, in-ground spa and evergreen lawn for games, pets and outdoor relaxation.

Five bedrooms and three bathrooms provide impressive family flexibility, with the primary suite enjoying its own ensuite, walk in robe and balcony access with that spectacular Rangitoto outlook. Four family bedrooms occupy the main level, while the lower level guest bedroom offers welcome separation. The stunning bathrooms are spa-like retreats featuring a crisp, considered aesthetic.

Generous proportions and soaring ceilings amplify the sense of space, while retained character detailing lends warmth throughout.

A double garage complements the fully gated grounds, with secure vehicle and pedestrian entry adding peace of mind.

Set on prestigious and peaceful Ridings Road, Remuera Village and Newmarket are both within easy reach. Also in the Double Grammar Zone, walking distance to King’s School and a short distance to St Cuthbert’s, Diocesan and St Kentigern’s, this immaculately renovated home makes for a playful family sanctuary.
