31 Victoria Avenue, Remuera, Auckland City, Auckland

Imagine waking up each morning in your own Mediterranean resort except you are in the heart of Remuera. From quiet breakfasts overlooking the pool to evening gatherings in the garden, the home offers a lifestyle that is relaxed, private and easy.

Originally designed by renowned architect Horace Massey circa 1920, this Mediterranean inspired residence was built for the Rendell family of Rendells Department Store and later became home to former Auckland Mayor John Banks. Arched colonnades, brick walls finished in textured stucco to evoke classic adobe masonry, and refined wrought iron detailing give the home its Mediterranean warmth, and today it remains a beautifully preserved example of Remuera’s architectural heritage, rich in history, character and integrity.

Set on approx. 1,226sqm of landscaped grounds, the home delivers relaxed, private outdoor living. The swimming pool, surrounded by sun filled terraces and shaded loggias, becomes the centre of summer living. The gardens provide excellent privacy and multiple zones for entertaining, relaxing and family life.

Inside, approx. 384sqm of flexible living, the layout offers six bedrooms in total, with the fifth bedroom ideal for use as a home office or study, and the sixth bedroom on the ground floor also can function as a cinema media or additional living area. There is one main living area that flows directly to the garden, along with three bathrooms plus a guest powder room, a wine cellar room, a double garage behind secure gates, and five off street parks.

This is a home designed for togetherness, yet with space for everyone to retreat and recharge. It adapts effortlessly to different stages of life, growing families, teenagers, extended family visits, or simply those who love to entertain well.

Here, life feels calm, private and indulgent, yet only minutes from the lifestyle buzz of Remuera Village, the shopping and dining of Newmarket, Parnell and the energy of the CBD. Schooling is effortlessly taken care of, with the highly sought after Double Grammar zoning for Auckland Grammar and Epsom Girls Grammar, and easy access to top private schools such as Diocesan, St Cuthbert’s, King’s and St Kentigern, allowing families to settle in with confidence from day one.

Private. Prestigious. Irreplaceable.

A home where everyday living feels like a holiday and where your next chapter begins beautifully.
