Spanish Missionary Inspired Splendor

Architecturally designed and built in 2004, this palatial Remuera residence takes inspiration from the Spanish-esque homes of California to create a timeless visual feast set in the heart of one of Auckland's most esteemed suburbs.

An inviting entry foyer takes advantage of a soaring two level stud height and leads to a sweeping feature staircase. Earthen toned tiles and exposed rough ceiling beams make a striking statement and compliment the Spanish aesthetics of this grand Remuera residence.

The home spans a sizeable 617 sq meters (approx) over 3 full levels and includes 5 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, 3 powder rooms and a large office. Positioned on the second level so as to maximize on views, an enormous state of the art kitchen is an entertainer's dream. Adjoining the kitchen, integrated informal living and dining are graciously proportioned while solid Kauri timbre floors add a timeless elegance to the space as does the large gas fireplace. All of the informal living areas open to a large balcony overlooking the pool essentially extending the room to incorporate the outside and provide a magical position from where to further enjoy the picturesque outlook of the harbor that extends all the way to Devonport on the North Shore.

The gracious formal living and dining room center on a feature gas fireplace and open to a sheltered courtyard. In keeping with the style of the home; wrought iron lattice work has been installed to separate the formal portion of the home from the informal while still allowing the rooms to flow visually from one into another.

The upper floor houses 4 of the bedrooms including the sumptuously appointed master suite that enjoys a large walk-in wardrobe, en-suite, separate toilet and a balcony that showcases the magnificent harbor panorama.

The ground floor includes a gymnasium/ additional bedroom that adjoin a large 3rd living room that is serviced by a kitchenette; opening out onto the private and sheltered pool and spa complex, the rooms cater ideally to poolside entertaining, BBQs and summer dining. Also on this level a purpose built media room is a fantastic additional feature as is the 2000 bottle temperature controlled wine cellar that is reached via the four car internally accessed garaging.

Positioned well back from the road the property constitutes a very sizeable 1098 sq meters set in landscaped gardens and established trees of varying variety. As the property backs onto the immaculate grounds of St Kentigerns Primary it benefits from the visual beauty of many of the 100 plus year old trees that border the school. Electric security gates and full fencing ensure peace of mind as does a highly advanced security monitoring system that includes CCTV cameras which allow certain parts of the residence to be kept under surveillance.

Victoria Avenue is regarded as one of Auckland's most prestigious and highly sought after residential addresses where surrounding homes are generally of a superior nature; consequently these properties are firmly placed within the upper tier value of the Auckland market. The property is within close proximity to the cafes, restaurants and boutique shops and amenities of Parnell, Newmarket and Remuera.

Located in the heart of Remuera this prime real estate is positioned well within school zoning for Auckland Grammar, Victoria Avenue primary and Epsom Girls Grammar as well as a full range of private schooling including Baradene School, Kings School, Diocesan, St Cuthberts Girls College and St Kentigerns School.
