Perched on the crest of sought-after Ventnor Road and gazing across a panorama of Auckland's most treasured landmarks, this grand residence is a rare offering of distinction, scale and uninterrupted beauty.
Cherished by the same family for over 30 years, this early 1920s home is one of the original jewels of Ventnor. Set on an expansive 1,184sqm (more or less), and facing due north above Little Rangitoto Reserve, its elevated position delivers sweeping views-Rangitoto Island, the shimmering harbour, Mt Victoria, North Head, the city skyline, Mt Wellington, and even the distant Coromandel Ranges.
Meticulously restored in 1995, the home has been rewired, replumbed, relined, insulated and reroofed-yet still retains its original charm, including polished timber floors, coffered ceilings, and intricate period detailing. A graceful sense of history greets you at the door, while the vast internal footprint offers seamless flow between formal and informal spaces designed for modern family living and entertaining.
Enjoy spectacular alfresco dining and relaxation on the entertainer’s deck, where the vista stretches far beyond the treetops. A modern kitchen, four generous bedrooms, and four bathrooms-including a private loft retreat above the oversized double garage-provide ample space and versatility for families of all stages. The master suite offers its own ensuite, while the loft with ensuite is ideal as a guest or teenager sanctuary.
Year-round comfort is ensured with underfloor gas heating and two fireplaces, including a Jet Master woodfire in the main living area and another in the upstairs library. A second double garage provides added functionality and boat storage.
Enveloped in beautifully landscaped gardens and embraced by tranquil privacy, this property offers a lifestyle of grace and ease. Located moments from Upland Village cafés and boutiques, Orakei Basin, Remuera Village and top public and private schools, it delivers a premier address with unrivalled charm.
Homes of this calibre are rarely available.
This is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to secure a legacy home in a landmark position.
