Where Architecture Meets Art - A Home Defined by Curved Form and Light
Perched proudly on the ridge and capturing sweeping views of Rangitoto, this striking North facing 1950s residence embodies enduring architectural elegance and relaxed sophistication.
Defined by its signature curved dormer windows, steep gabled roofline, and expansive glazing, this residence is an architectural statement of enduring grace. Originally crafted in the mid-century era and thoughtfully reimagined by Buisson and Strez Architects in 1987, it embodies a rare harmony between modernist design and timeless European influence. Sunlight pours through walls of glass, creating effortless indoor-outdoor flow and framing lush garden vistas from every angle.
Set on 1341sqm (more or less) of beautifully landscaped grounds, the 287sqm (approx.) home exudes warmth and authenticity. Inside, craftsmanship takes centre stage - from the softly-toned timber ceilings to the original joinery and generous open-plan living spaces designed for connection and celebration.
This beautifully designed residence offers a flexible and luxurious layout across two levels, ideal for both family living and entertaining. Upstairs, two generous double bedrooms are complemented by a stylish bathroom and separate powder room, while the master suite enjoys complete privacy with its own ensuite, private balcony, and breathtaking panoramic views across the water to Rangitoto.
A spacious living area upstairs serves as a versatile retreat - perfect as a games lounge, relaxation zone, or elegant work-from-home space. Downstairs the double bedroom, and a single bedroom or study, provide excellent accommodation for guests or family, all thoughtfully designed for comfort and convenience.
The entertainer's kitchen flows effortlessly into the dining and living areas, opening to a wide terrace perfect for alfresco dining and summer gatherings. Beyond, the landscaped garden oasis unfolds - a tranquil escape with a gazebo, fish pond, and sculptural plantings that evoke a sense of calm and privacy.
With scope to add a pool, extend, or further enhance, this residence offers endless opportunity while preserving its architectural soul.
Lovingly held by the same family for four decades, this exceptional ridge-top retreat now invites its next custodian - someone who values design, history, and the rare magic of a home with heart and heritage.
