The Remuera Heritage website credits this home as the work of renowned architect Horace Massey, and the moment you step through the Remuera Rd gate, it’s easy to see why. This remarkable 1920s Arts and Crafts residence is full of timeless charm, with original character features thoughtfully enhanced for modern living.
At the heart of the home, the striking Jacobean-style staircase in the formal entranceway sets the tone, showcasing the craftsmanship of its era. To the right, elegant lounge and dining rooms are separated by cavity sliders, offering flexibility in their use. The lounge features a cosy fireplace, while French doors in the dining room open to a generous rear deck that captures the afternoon sun - perfect for entertaining.
The kitchen balances modern updates with its classic heritage, retaining a wall of original cupboards complete with built-in sugar, flour, and bread bins. A small hallway leads to a bathroom and laundry, with potential to relocate the laundry to the spacious double garage in the basement and introduce an internal staircase.
Upstairs, three light-filled bedrooms offer elevated views across to Rangitoto, enhancing the home’s sense of grandeur. A study/ second living room and a downstairs guest bedroom provide additional flexibility for those who work from home or need extra space for family and visitors.
Positioned near the Upland Road shops and cafes, the home enjoys all-day sun in the front garden. Families have excellent schooling options with both Remuera Primary and Meadowbank Primary nearby, while College Rifles is just two minutes away.
For those who appreciate architectural charm, a superb location, and the opportunity to make a home their own, this is an opportunity not to be missed.
