From the moment you venture down the driveway, it’s clear that 2/90 Orakei Rd is the product of an architect with a reputation of the highest order. Designed and built in the 1980s, Marshall Cook’s knowledge of materials, light and space is evident throughout, creating a serene ambience for anyone fortunate enough to live here.
Set back from the road in the heart of Northern Slopes Remuera, the warm wooden joinery and doors, the multiple feature windows, the atrium-style entranceway and the open plan layout all add to the sense of space and natural light throughout.
Furthermore, the views across to the city from almost every room, confirm that this is a special home worth serious consideration.
The open plan kitchen / dining / double living room forms the heart of the home, flowing through French doors to a split-level North-facing terrace for your morning cuppa or evening al fresco entertaining. The kitchen / scullery area is still as practical as when first installed – testament to the quality of the original build - but there’s an opportunity here to add value through the creation of a state-of-the-art kitchen for future generations.
Upstairs, three of the four bedrooms boast picture windows looking across the Remuera valley to the city. The master, with walk-through wardrobe, enjoys its own ensuite, while the other bedrooms share a family bathroom.
Parking is courtesy of a double internal access garage, plus plenty of extra off-road space for visitors.
Situated within the zones of Victoria Avenue Primary, Remuera Primary, Remuera Intermediate, Auckland Grammar, and Epsom Girls' Grammar Schools, the property also offers proximity to some of Auckland's premier private schools. With Orakei Basin, Orakei Bay Village and Remuera village within easy walking distance, this home seamlessly combines accessibility with top-tier amenities.
Ideal for families and downsizers, opportunities to buy architectural homes in this premier location and at a realistic price point do not come up often. We look forward to seeing you at an Open Home.
