Sought After Post-Mordern Architecture

Built late in the decade that gave us the Beatles, the Rolling Stones and the E-type Jaguar, 22 Crocus Place displays all that is admirable about 60s architecture. The home is on a generous 1234 square metre site which is seldom found today, particularly on the sought after northern slopes.

The entrance foyer is remarkable for its original stone feature wall and a soaring stairwell atrium with floor to ceiling vertical windows. Rooms on the ground level are currently used as a home theatre, double bedroom and single bedroom/office. The ground level also has a bathroom, access to the double garage and a large, well-lit workshop area.

Upstairs, a series of cleverly connected spaces provide huge versatility for daily living and entertaining. A large family living area with casual dining connects to a formal dining room and an adjoining living room. The kitchen retains its original 60s style, which reflects the no-clutter feeling that today's kitchen designers aspire to. On all sides, windows look out to the tranquillity of dappled sunlight and tree-top views.

With up to six bedrooms this immaculate home offers idyllic family living, as well as a level of privacy and bush backdrop that is usually only found in Auckland's forested ranges.

The concrete pool, which is wonderfully secluded, has been restored and offers a charming feature waterfall. Solar heating plus heat pump keeps the water at a very pleasant temperature. The pool's extensive outdoor entertainment area is enhanced by a large outdoor fireplace adding warmth and ambience all year round.

'Crocus Place' is a peaceful no-exit road close to 'Arney Road', which is regarded by many to be one of Remuera's best streets. It is just a couple of minutes from the Newmarket shopping precinct and in zone for both Auckland Boys Grammar and Epsom Girls Grammar. Both Kings and St Kentigerns prep schools are nearby.
