233 Remuera Road, Remuera, Auckland City, Auckland

Part of the history of Remuera. Originally built as the Gatehouse for 'Capri', the large house at the top of the private road on the Easten boundary.

The Gatehouse is featured in many early photos of Mt Hobson and Remuera's grand houses that were built around the turn of the last century.

The architecture is reflective of the period. Built of concrete with a Marseille tiled roof you are well insulated from road. The simple addition of double glazing would give you virtually complete peace.

The layout was designed to make an 'English Garden' the focus of the home. The height of the ceilings and proportion of the rooms are a key to the timeless architectural feeling. With a little imagination and a reasonable budget, the Gatehouse could be turned into a charming, character filled two-bedroom, two living room home, set in a very special garden environment.

And, because it sits on a small knoll, at the base of Mt Hobson, it retains the afternoon sun for much longer than the larger, more expensive homes around it.

So, for the cost of a reasonably sized apartment you could have a delightfully refurbished home on 647m2 of land with a garden and outdoor living area that is sunny, private and secure.

Just a walk to the railway, Remuera village and right in the heart of the double grammar zone and private school area.
