A Hidden Slice of Old World Remuera

Remuera is full of surprises and this property is certainly one out of the box.

Having been built by the current vendor in 1961, the home has been in the same family for almost 50 years. Completely unassuming and set well back from the road, the quiet leafy right- of- way leads to this large unassuming home offering huge potential to upgrade.

Situated on a highly desirable full sized section spanning 1148 sq. meters, the home lends itself to a growing family looking for a residence to improve upon. The gently sloping section with its sunny north facing aspect is both private and sheltered by the many attractive and established trees along the boundaries; ideal for somebody who may wish to start from scratch and build their very own architectural masterpiece.

Polished Rimu floors throughout the upper level add warmth, charm and character to this much loved family home. In traditional Remuera style the large formal drawing room centres on a large fireplace and extends, through cavity sliders, into the formal dining room. The separate kitchen is generous in proportion and includes a more informal eating area and opens to a sunny verrandah that runs the length of the remainder of the house. The elevation of both the site and the home offers views over the valley and directly out towards Rangitoto Island.

All of the bedrooms stem from a wide central hallway and each is very well proportioned. The level below consists of a large games room or children’s lounge complete with a separate bathroom and access through French doors onto the large private garden.

In addition to two car garaging and further off street parking, the home boasts a large concrete basement with full stud height that offers huge potential.

Excellently located the home is positioned well within school zoning for Auckland Boys Grammar, Victoria Avenue Primary, Remuera Primary, 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.

Orakei Road is one of Remuera's most central and highly prized locations for its close proximity to the cafe's, restaurants and boutique shops of both Upland Road Village and Remuera Village. The wide attractive road is known for its many elegant established homes making it a very sought after Eastern Suburbs location. The location also offers easy access to the shopping hubs of Newmarket, Parnell and Auckland's CBD.
