Unrivalled, the picturesque waterside setting of this unique property is as impressive as it is beautiful. This traditional home with modern aspects is set within expansive park-like grounds with spectacular harbour views. It was designed to create a truly sensational family home with superb flow to the outdoors. Combining distinctive architecture, land of approximately 2494m2 and one of the few Remuera properties with direct access to a virtually private beach, it is in an exclusive class of its own.
Luxurious living is presented over three floors. On the entry level, an elegant lounge, dining room, library and cloakroom provide a more formal ambiance. For day-to-day family living, a welcoming and spacious casual living area includes a Morgan Cronin entertainer's kitchen plus butler's pantry with extensive workspaces. The outdoor connection is a seamless extension from most of these rooms with doors opening to sunny terraces and a BBQ area.
Downstairs rooms open to a second alfresco area, complete with swimming pool and a spa. A flexible living space has a kitchenette and bathroom. Other rooms include a gym, temperature-controlled wine cellar and double garage. There is also a second, detached double garage which has a loft suitable as a home office or teenager retreat.
Family bedrooms are situated on the third level, also generously proportioned with high ceilings and dormer windows. The master bedroom shares the spectacle of views and has a balcony, dressing room and ensuite. Three additional spacious bedrooms have their own features and wonderful nooks and crannies for storage. A fifth double bedroom with ensuite is on the main floor and is an ideal office, guest room or au pair accommodation.
The property is at the end of a right of way driveway, in addition to the garaging there is also ample space to park over six vehicles with ease.
The property adjoins St Kentigern School and is in close proximity to further top private schools and is also in the Double Grammar zone.
Representing one of the finest properties in Auckland, this is an exceptional opportunity to be only the second owner since the home was completed some 23 years ago.
