The moment you arrive at this northern sloping Orakei Road residence, tucked peacefully, in one of Remuera’s most prestigious blue-chip addresses, you’re met with grace and grandeur. Built in 1918 and unfolding across a generous 758m² of lush, flat grounds, this 368m²(approx) home is a masterclass in character and charm, elevated by luxurious finishes and thoughtful modern updates.
The striking black door, adorned with classic moulding, sets the tone for what lies within: high ceilings, soft light, and beautifully crafted spaces that flow effortlessly from one to the next. From the French-inspired entry foyer, step into a formal living room framed by oversized windows, this is an architectural rarity that allows you to gaze out left and right, bathed in morning and afternoon sun. A stately fireplace anchors the room, adding warmth and timeless style.
Throughout the home, French doors and oversized windows bring in light and sophistication- every pane is a standout, elegantly designed to be admired. The tiled bathrooms continue the story of understated luxury, while the marble-detailed kitchen and sunny family room open seamlessly to a sheltered deck with serene valley views. A private courtyard and level green lawn complete the perfect entertaining zone with room potentially for a future pool.
Upstairs, the bedrooms include a refined master suite and a magical bedroom featuring an arched window wall that evokes whimsy and light. At the top level, sea views offer a beautiful surprise. The fully developed attic adds flexibility, with space for a sixth bedroom, a playroom, or additional study/gym room.
Downstairs, a generous guest suite beside the oversized double internal garage opens to its own quiet courtyard plus four off-street parks. This house also offers a series of multifunctional rooms ready for you to adapt to every lifestyle.
Quiet, peaceful, and full of soul, this refined Remuera living in the heart of the Double Grammar Zone. Zoned for famous AGS, EGGS, and a short stroll to top private schools St Cuthbert’s, Diocesan, and King’s Prep.
