18 Martin Avenue, Remuera, Auckland City, Auckland

Commanding an elevated north-facing position with uninterrupted grandstand views over the Orakei Basin to the harbour and city. This exceptional new Remuera residence delivers a masterclass in supreme contemporary luxury - and a living experience like no other.

Designed by renowned architect Julian Guthrie, step into a world of effortless beauty and light-filled privacy. The meticulous attention to detail is clear at every turn. Crafted to the highest building standards using a refined palette of textured concrete, cedar, travertine stone, quartzite, marble and rich oak flooring, each element has been thoughtfully curated and executed to exacting standards.

Unique architectural features like hidden doors and dramatic curves are augmented by state of the art amenities, from the Swiss StoArmour plaster system and argon filled double glazing to integrated Meile appliances, ECC lighting, air conditioning and gas fireplace.

A wall of glazing dissolves the boundaries between inside and out in the expansive open plan living zone, capturing the breathtaking vista across the Orakei Basin stretching to the city skyline and the sparkling Waitemata Harbour. Flow effortlessly out to the covered terrace to entertain year round beside the stunning 10 metre heated swimming pool and spa pool. A gardenia filled moat ensures seamless access.

Then there are the manicured low maintenance gardens, complete with scented plants and Corton steel water feature in the quiet courtyard.

The kitchen is both sculptural and supremely functional, anchored by a scullery that keeps hosting seamless. Floor-to-ceiling timber cabinetry conceals a temperature-controlled wine cellar and elegant built-in bar, while a separate sound-insulated media snug provides an inviting retreat.

Upstairs, the primary suite feels like a private sanctuary in the sky, complemented by an elegant adults’ lounge where 180-degree water views stretch endlessly by day and capture the sparkling city lights by night. The chic master ensuite instantly soothes with its large egg bath with water views. Two further bedrooms are generously proportioned, supported by a beautifully appointed bathroom.

A generous internal-access double garage offers room for a gym, a separate laundry and additional off-street parking. Private and peaceful in a premium location, moments from the Benson Road shops, vibrant Orakei Bay Village, the nature walks and within easy reach of Auckland’s leading private schools.

Beyond extraordinary in both vision and execution, this is luxury living at its absolute finest.
