On the market for the first time in 12 years. A classic weatherboard villa on a level 1,088sqm freehold site in Remuera. It sits in the heart of the Double Grammar Zone, in zone for Auckland Grammar School and Epsom Girls Grammar School.

Many of central Auckland's best-known schools lie within about 2km: 20 schools in all, from primary to secondary, including King's School, ACG Parnell, Auckland Grammar, Epsom Girls Grammar, Diocesan and St Cuthbert's, several of them within walking distance.

The setting is a quiet, long-established neighbourhood at the foot of Mount Hobson, adjoining Remuera Road, Arney Road and Bassett Road. Yet Newmarket is only a stroll away: its shops, restaurants and cafes are about 700 metres on foot, Newmarket Station is about a 12-minute walk, and Farro and New World are closer still. City life is at the gate; behind the stone walls and mature trees, home is private and calm.

The land is the rarer asset. Level sites of this size are scarce in this part of Remuera, and the property sits within the Mixed Use Zone, opening the door to a range of future possibilities (see Auckland Council planning documents; development requires resource consent). Whether you are considering land banking, redevelopment, or a strategic long-term hold, this zoning provides flexibility rarely found in such a prime Remuera location. Opportunities like this are increasingly scarce, particularly in established central suburbs where zoning advantages can significantly enhance future value.

The house itself has four bedrooms plus a study, three bathrooms and three separate living areas, giving a family room to spread out and to entertain with ease. The main dwelling is approx. 239sqm (council record); the detached double garage and outbuildings are additional. Timber floors run through the hallway and living rooms, the kitchen and dining area are generous, and ducted gas central heating serves the whole house. The double garage takes two cars, with two further side-by-side off-street parking spaces on site.

Gardens front and back have been professionally maintained for more than a decade. Established hedging frames a broad front lawn; at the rear are garden beds, a paved courtyard and a pergola-covered outdoor dining area, ideal for entertaining or relaxing in privacy.
This is more than just a home. It is a strategic acquisition in one of Auckland's most sought-after neighbourhoods, combining immediate lifestyle appeal with long-term upside.
