22 Standen Avenue, Remuera, Auckland City, Auckland

Retaining many of the character elements of its 1930s provenance, this dignified weatherboard Double Grammar Zone home nestles in an elevated northern slopes position in a prestigious neighbourhood. With an outlook across to Portland and Waitaramoa Reserves and with proximity to top schooling, this exceptional property zoned Mixed Housing Suburban presents a prime opportunity for families, and investors.

The 181 sqm (approx.) two-story residence has been sympathetically and tastefully renovated, creating a sophisticated aura. Primarily drawing on a white palette with plush neutral-toned carpet, archetypal high stud ceilings and timber joinery denote the home's original era. Dazzling cluster pendant lighting defines social spaces including a stairwell where a large picture window cleverly frames the green park views.

A convivial sitting room with heat pump has flow to the front balcony, with the adjacent formal dining room similarly overlooking the same terracotta tiled patio. A compact family zone with tiled floor and north-facing aspect flanks an impressive designer kitchen. This culinary hub, featuring black granite benchtops and SMEG appliances, offers easy connection to the rear deck via bifold café windows and French doors. The fully screened backyard provides a secluded lawn and courtyard for kids to play and outdoor entertaining, with the sunny deck additionally accessed from the master bedroom.

An attractively tiled upstairs bathroom incorporates bathtub, shower and vanity, with toilet separate, while the smaller bathroom on the ground floor echoes the same contrasting tile motif and serves three more bedrooms.

The 707 sqm (approx.) fully fenced section includes a freestanding double carport and a lock- up garden shed. Walking distance to Victoria Avenue School as well as Baradene College and both Saint Kentigern's prep schools, it's only a short commute to reach the city's CBD by car or public transport.
