Description
One of Remuera’s finest properties, a spectacular 689m² residence that has been well-maintained by an art enthusiast owner. It spans a stunning 1864m² site discreetly positioned along the ridge of Remuera’s Golden Mile. More than wide 180° uninhibited views reach across the neighbourhood towards the sea to Rangitoto Island, Devonport and the Sky Tower.
There is beauty in the simplicity of the design that adheres to Swedish modern, contemporary style characterised by the clean functionality of modernism incorporating a rich palette of natural materials. The concrete block structure is sheathed in limestone cladding around huge swathes of glass across extensive living areas on the northern aspect.
Soaring 8m high concrete walls showcase large artworks in a light-filled gallery atrium that connects two levels inside. Floor finishes are travertine in the entry and stairways, with French oak in living areas and plush modern carpets in the five bedrooms upstairs. This property has been finished to exceptional standards of quality and details of architecture.
With 3.5 metre walls and log fires at each end (plus ducted air con), grand formal and informal living, dining and kitchen areas open to a deep north-facing 37 metre balcony. A charming library, home theatre and office to the rear are beautifully detailed, lined in floor to ceiling oak cabinetry. With a full kitchen and bathroom, the basement level entertainment area extends to a sheltered garden, 12.5 metre pool with diving board and immaculate level lawn.
Upstairs, 5 generous bedrooms and 4 bathrooms (3 en suites) feast on the panoramic views and the huge master suite with fitted dressing room enjoys 270° views across a balcony. A separate self-contained guest suite, also with amazing views, is located above a second double garage. In arguably Auckland’s finest most convenient and sought-after address, this magnificent hideaway provides an incomparable setting in which to reside and host extraordinary events. A family lifestyle beyond compare.
