AN ALLURING ADDRESS

Highly respected architect, Simon Carnachan, worked closely with the current owners to achieve their vision of creating a timeless, elegant and relaxed home that gracefully blurs the line between a six-star resort and a luxury family compound.

This truly beautiful home spans an impressive 630 square metres and is situated on a lush, tropical landscape of 915 square metres. The wide, exclusive street frontage and flat land is a rarity in this prime Remuera street.

Interior spaces are open and can be separated when required. Natural light and all day sun are maximized with glass and day-to-day living is hidden away in numerous storage areas. A highly advanced security and technology infrastructure is embedded in the home, allowing every room internet, audio and video.

At ground level, six living and entertainment areas cater for all ages. Highlights include a state-of the-art kitchen with butler's pantry, internal alfresco dining room and a purpose-built home theatre with a high specification Control 4 AV system. Further features include three gas fireplaces, a separate and self-contained children's retreat and a guest bedroom with study and en-suite.

The top floor, which is dedicated to family sleeping, working and relaxing, comprises four bedrooms, an open plan work area and a separate wing for the master bedroom. The entire floor is enhanced by the use of battened walls, exposed rafters, ceiling fans and wooden shutters, which add a classic plantation and Cape Cod touch.

Hidden gems include a laundry chute, a shared work area with endless cupboard storage for linen and art supplies and a number of private balconies. Three double children's rooms have built in furniture, desks, shelving and storage. The master suite, which has a fabulous Remuera-to-city skyline view, includes a spacious his and hers wardrobe, as well as an office and lounge area.

Street level offers a carpeted underground garage with easy turning room that can accommodate 5 vehicles. Also included is a purpose-built wine cellar, a large gym or games zone and storage or workshop area. With vehicles removed, this warm 170 square metre area can be opened to cater for a kids birthday party.

The landscape that frames this exceptional concrete home was designed by renowned landscaper, Suzanne Turley. Garden enthusiasts will appreciate the subtropical theme, which uses palms, hibiscus, natives and fruit trees for ornamental effect.

Naturally zoned for Victoria Avenue Primary and Auckland Grammar and with a host of private schooling nearby, the property is well situated for school buses, public transport and city access.
