54 Victoria Avenue, Remuera, Auckland City, Auckland

Offered for the first time in 65 years, Remuera opportunities of this calibre are rare.

Originally part of the historic Horton Homestead estate (of Wilson & Horton and the Auckland Herald), in 1961, Jack and Leslie commissioned leading architects of the day to design a modernist home in keeping with the new materials and design aesthetics of the era.

Set high on Remuera's prized north-western ridgeline, with sweeping vistas towards the city and Sky Tower, this solid brick residence is among the finest examples of its era. Resplendent with custom French-inspired wall panelling and deep decorative cornices, the sumptuous main living area was extended in the 1970s - now showcasing one of several large picture windows that bathe the home in sunlight and frame the views from sunrise to sunset.

There are five bedrooms in total - two on the ground level with a kitchenette - plus a double garage and another living room that opens to mature gardens and a generous lawn. Comfortable and entirely livable for families as-is, the home also whispers of future possibilities. Thoughtful cosmetic enhancements - fresh finishes, new lighting, and soft furnishings - could effortlessly usher the interiors into a new period of splendour. With Council consent already granted for a comprehensive modernisation, you can move swiftly to realise this vision (plans are available on-site).

Just a five-minute walk from Remuera Village, and within easy reach of Victoria Avenue School and many of Auckland’s most esteemed educational facilities, the location is truly exceptional.

From the street, you’ll note neighbouring homes of substantial scale and value - several with valuations of $20,000,000 or more - further underlining the significant potential to capitalise here.

Cherished and retained by the same family for generations, their legacy will soon be relinquished. Will you be the next custodian?
