Some homes capture your heart the moment you walk in. This northern slopes home has all the character you hope to find in a 1920s home, with leadlight windows, original hardwood floors and fireplaces. Bossley Architects’ 2023 renovation brings it beautifully into the present, with light filled spaces, carefully chosen finishes and a wonderful connection to the outdoors.

Life unfolds on one level. Four bedrooms offer room to grow, including a principal bedroom with an ensuite. Morning sun filters through the intricate glasswork, while elevated views add to the sense of space. A beautifully tiled family bathroom with a bathtub and a separate laundry take care of the practical details.

The kitchen, dining and living area is where everyone will want to be. Afternoon sun pours in, and glass doors set in timber joinery open to the deck and lawn. The generous kitchen island, finished in Dekton, gives family and friends a place to gather, while the oven and steam oven make cooking for a crowd a pleasure. From the kitchen, you can keep an eye on the children playing outside.

Central heating, a DVS system, insulation and double glazing in the living space make the home comfortable through every season. Downstairs, there is ample basement storage and room for a workshop.

In the sought after Meadowbank School zone, with St Kentigern School, King’s Prep, Baradene College and Remuera Intermediate all easy to reach by car or bus. Weekends can begin with a circuit of Orakei Basin and coffee at Knead then catch up with locals at Morrell Bistro & Bar. Upland Road village, Remuera village and Meadowbank Shopping Centre are all within a few minutes drive.

A confirmed move offshore means it is time for this cherished home to welcome a new family.
