Overview

Mid-century Classic on DGZ Benson Rd

Auction: 34 Shortland Street, City on Wednesday 8 July 2026 at 10:00AM (unless sold prior) There are homes that reflect their era. Then there are homes that help define it. Featured in the March 1953 edition of House & Garden magazine as an example of contemporary design, this distinctive Benson Road residence remains a fascinating piece of Auckland's architectural story. More than seventy years later, many of the elements that captured attention then continue to give the home its character today. Designed and built in the early 1950s and constructed from striking Putaruru stone, this single-level family home occupies a flat 622m² (more or less) site in one of Remuera's most tightly held Northern Slopes addresses. Secure gates open to a private setting, where plentiful off-street parking was once graced by the classic 1950s cars that the first owners brought with them from America. The home itself offers three generous double bedrooms, including a sun-filled main suite with floor-to-ceiling glazing overlooking a small heated pool. A modern tiled bathroom serves the bedrooms, while a separate guest powder room adds convenience. The modernised kitchen and informal sitting space open directly to the rear garden, while a concealed laundry keeps everyday living neatly out of sight. Flowing from the kitchen to the formal dining room, the space connects seamlessly to the spacious living room, which centers around the original Putaruru stone fireplace – one of several original features illustrating the home’s progressive design. The property also presents exciting possibilities for those looking to add further value. Whether through refurbishment, modernisation or the addition of a second level, the site offers plenty of scope for future enhancement. Positioned within the Double Grammar Zone and just moments from Benson Road's cafés and village shops, Rangitoto Reserve, Orakei Basin walkways and Orakei Train Station, the location continues to set the benchmark for family living in Remuera. A home with architectural provenance, genuine character and outstanding potential, this is a rare opportunity to secure a piece of Remuera's mid-century history.
