Overview

An ambassador for elegant living

This substantial and prestigious estate represents the very best of Remuera living. Discerning families searching for a statement home in one of the most exclusive Northern Slopes locations will appreciate the scale and splendour of this magnificent oasis. Careful updates over the years have thoughtfully transformed this grand 1920s weatherboard home into a residence of impeccable distinction. Until recently it was a residence for the United States embassy in New Zealand. Beyond the traditional façade, the home’s large 509sqm footprint encompasses multiple indoor and outdoor living areas to suit every occasion, from formal entertaining to family recreation. On the central level the contemporary kitchen with its scullery and premium appointments sits open plan with dining. Adjacent to the family room and large living room, each space opens seamlessly to the extensive wraparound northwest-facing decking. With its large outdoor fireplace, this al fresco domain invites fantastic entertaining. On the lower level a generous recreation room ensures space for all the hobbies. The addition of a wet bar, bedroom and bathroom makes it the ideal teenagers’ retreat, den or alternatively a one bedroom apartment, guest quarters or space for the au pair. This floor flows out to the magnificent pool and spa, as well as the flat rectangular lawn perfect for family games of soccer and cricket. Four bedrooms and three bathrooms on one upper level is ideal for families with kids, and includes the luxurious primary suite. There is also a sitting room and office on this floor, and another office on the main level. On a significant 1,168sqm land holding that enjoys an elevated position, it’s completed by four car garaging and a workshop space. Double Grammar Zoned, close to top private schools and strolling distance to Remuera Village, this flexible home is ideal for families, intergeneration families or those looking for a landmark home in one of Remuera’s top locations.
