In 1926 William Gummer, of the renowned Architects Ford and Gummer, celebrated the completion of Stoneways, designed by him as his own home and a showpiece of his talent.
One of only 14 private homes that he designed during his career. Featured in most books on Auckland architecture, it has remained 'relevant', as a classic, almost 100 years on.
To own this house is a privilege. To live in this house is an experience that past and present owners have relished.
Over the last four years, the main internal upgrading has been completed. The new kitchen, butler's pantry and service areas are 'perfect' for the spaces. The style and finishes, a 'modern version' of what you would expect.
The master bedroom suite is better than most well known London hotels. It cocoons you in style and quality, whilst being absolutely in keeping with Stoneways 'updated'.
If you are a lover of art, fine furniture of any period, then this home, with its perfectly proportioned rooms and spaces will provide the perfect backdrop.
The Georgian style of Gummers architecture will never date.
In 2009 'Stoneways' was voted #3 out of the 8 'best houses' in Auckland worthy of preservation. It would probably be a similar result today.
3 bedrooms, master ensuite, family and guest bathrooms, study, sunroom, dining room, drawing room, 'bedsit', loggia, and the most beautiful garden.
