Behind the traditional villa frontage of this Grey Lynn classic lies an exceptional architectural transformation, where heritage character and contemporary design come together with remarkable ease.
Concept plans by John Irving Architects provided the foundation, with the owners bringing their own considered vision to the design. The result is a substantial and beautifully cohesive home shaped around natural light, family life and effortless indoor-outdoor living.
The rear extension is a defining feature, introducing impressive scale and volume while retaining the warmth and intimacy of the original villa.
At the heart of the home, a light-filled open-plan kitchen and dining space is designed equally for everyday family life and entertaining. An elongated island, integrated appliances and a scullery create a highly functional and sophisticated setting. Two generous living areas provide flexibility, while expansive sliders connect seamlessly with the north-facing patio and heated swimming pool beyond.
Private, sun-drenched and beautifully sheltered, the outdoor environment has a distinctly resort-like feel — an exceptional setting for entertaining, relaxing and family life.
Upstairs, four bedrooms include an impressive primary suite with walk-in robe and ensuite. Views towards the Sky Tower are enjoyed from both the bedroom and feature bath, while all three bathrooms are individually designed and impeccably finished.
Oak chevron flooring brings warmth and texture throughout, extensive glazing draws natural light deep into the home, and high-specification detailing gives the interiors a sophisticated, considered finish.
Double internal-access garaging adds another valuable dimension, particularly in this tightly held city-fringe location.
Moments from Ponsonby Road and Grey Lynn Park, 11 Elgin Street is a beautifully resolved family sanctuary — retaining the character and charm that make Grey Lynn villas so enduring, while delivering the space, light and functionality expected of an exceptional contemporary home.
