40 Rose Road - Your Move Next

Heritage character, exceptional architecture and craftsmanship come together in a home designed for contemporary luxury.

Set on one of Grey Lynn's most sought-after streets, 40 Rose Road is an exceptional reimagining of an 1900s Auckland villa, bringing together heritage character, architecture, beautiful interiors and meticulous craftsmanship.

Led by architect Henri Sayes, with construction by Ben Cameron Builders and landscape architecture by Xanthe White, every element has been carefully considered to create a home that feels sophisticated and cohesive.

The transformation re-establishes the character and proportions of the original villa, while a contemporary rear extension introduces volume, natural light and a strong connection to the outdoors. Over-height ceilings, wide-board timber floors and a restrained palette of stone and natural timber bring warmth and quiet luxury throughout.

At its heart, the expansive kitchen, dining and living space captures the essence of the home. Bespoke timber cabinetry, premium appliances and beautifully selected stone are complemented by a generous walk-in scullery, while large sliding glass doors dissolve the boundary between inside and out. It is a space designed equally well for everyday life and generous entertaining.

Three beautifully proportioned bedrooms include a serene master suite with bespoke walk-in wardrobe and exquisitely detailed ensuite. A separate media room provides the flexibility of a fourth bedroom, private office or additional living space.

Outside, the landscape architecture is integral to the experience of the home. Private, considered planting frames the architecture and creates a series of intimate outdoor spaces, while the courtyard, outdoor dining and built-in barbecue extend the living areas beyond the walls of the house.

Throughout, luxury is expressed through detail rather than excess: central heating, underfloor-heated bathrooms, bespoke window furnishings, a carefully curated lighting scheme, electric gates and secure off-street parking have all been seamlessly integrated into the architecture.

And beyond the gates is one of Auckland's most coveted neighbourhoods. Ponsonby's restaurants, cafe´s and boutiques are an easy walk away, while Rose Road retains the quiet, established character of one of Grey Lynn's most desirable residential pockets.

The result is a rare meeting of old and new - the soul and character of a classic Auckland villa, reimagined with the architecture, craftsmanship and refinement of an exceptional contemporary home.
