Set behind secure gates and approached via a sweeping circular driveway, this exceptional Epsom estate occupies a magnificent 1,260sqm (approx.) north-west facing site. One of the area's original homesteads, the residence has been meticulously renovated and expanded over time, creating a home that honours its heritage while delivering the scale, comfort, and sophistication demanded by modern family living.
A sense of grandeur is immediate upon arrival. The elegant entrance hall introduces soaring vaulted ceilings, rich timber flooring, and beautifully proportioned interiors that unfold across an impressive 525sqm (approx.) floor plan. Multiple living areas provide flexibility for both formal entertaining and relaxed everyday living, each thoughtfully connected while maintaining their own distinct character.
At the heart of the home, the designer kitchen by Kitchens by Design has been crafted as both a statement piece and a practical family hub. Anchored by a generous island and complemented by premium finishes throughout, it connects effortlessly to the main living and dining spaces, where an Asea gas fireplace creates warmth and ambience throughout the seasons.
Designed with entertaining in mind, the living areas extend seamlessly outdoors to a covered loggia overlooking the heated swimming pool and spa. Framed by beautifully landscaped gardens, this private outdoor sanctuary evokes the feeling of a luxury retreat, offering exceptional spaces to relax, entertain, and enjoy year-round outdoor living.
Accommodation is exceptionally generous, with six bedrooms providing flexibility for families of all stages. Two luxurious primary suites offer a rare level of versatility, including a private upper-level retreat complete with walk-in wardrobe and ensuite, while a second suite on the ground floor is perfectly suited for guests, extended family, or multigenerational living. The remaining bedrooms are supported by beautifully appointed bathrooms that balance timeless elegance with contemporary comfort.
The grounds have been thoughtfully landscaped to create a private sanctuary, with mature plantings enhancing the sense of tranquillity throughout the property. Practical considerations have been equally well addressed, with four-car garaging, extensive storage, central gas heating, and a recently replaced roof ensuring effortless day-to-day living.
Bordering the natural beauty of Watling Reserve, the setting feels remarkably peaceful while remaining moments from some of Auckland's most sought-after amenities. Positioned within Double Grammar Zone and close to Mt Eden Village, Newmarket, and leading private schools, this is a rare opportunity to secure one of Epsom's most distinguished family estates.
