A stunning example of architect Vlad Cacala’s signature aesthetic that has been lovingly maintained and significantly expanded upon since its 1960s origins, this five-bedroom residence in the heart of Remuera is an offering like no other.

Occupying a sprawling 1702m2 site down a private lane, the superbly crafted, timeless home opens at ground level with two double bedrooms to either side of a chic bathroom and kitchen, the ultimate in multigenerational living. Both have doors opening out to a private tropical garden with firepit, while a further media-meets-rumpus room could serve as a music studio or more depending on your needs. Also on this level is internal access to the large double garage, with more than enough space for tools and toys.

Ascend the stairs to multiple living spaces just made for entertaining. Extensively redesigned by architect Andrew Meiring for the current owners, the home includes a casual lounge opening to the pool area, adjacent to a stylishly appointed kitchen. Custom timber cabinetry and a scullery feature alongside access to a hidden laundry, effortlessly blending impeccable style with functionality.

Towards the street lies a more formal lounge with fireplace and the light-filled dining room, all opening out to north facing decking with LouvreTec and outdoor fire for all season hosting.

Also on this level is a large work from home office with built in shelving, two double bedrooms, a generous family bathroom and separate powder room, before you enter the primary suite. A true retreat, it comes with a magazine-worthy designer ensuite and dressing room, as well as views across lush tropical planting to one side and doors to the resort-style pool on the other.

In the highly sought after Double Grammar Zone and steps from private schools, this truly incredible executive family property has to be seen to be believed.
