Sold at auction by Carolyn Ryan | Bayleys Remuera

Positioned at the end of a much-admired, tree lined cul-de-sac on the northern slopes of Remuera, here is an exceptional opportunity to combine esteemed architectural pedigree with a sought after lifestyle in this coveted location.

The owners have adored living in this charming sanctuary since it was architecturally designed for them by Pip Cheshire and built in 1984, however a move out of Auckland is now on the cards and it is time for this quiet sensation to embrace a new life of its own.

Discerning property-seekers with an eye for clever buying will love the possibility to take this generous 222sqm three bedroom home to the next level with a thoughtful refurbishment, adding value and taking full advantage of its prestigious position.

The absolute north-facing orientation ensures every space is bathed in natural light, beginning with the open plan living, dining and kitchen domain that extends out to elevated decking surrounding the swimming pool. This private and tranquil alfresco zone is a pure delight for both unwinding and socialising with its beautiful established trees and greenery providing birdsong and a sense of peace. The lush, botanical views continue from many of the interior spaces.

Those seeking quiet time will appreciate the large office/library with its built in shelving, while a second sitting room comes with its own private deck for serene morning coffees.

The primary bedroom with ensuite and walk in robe also opens to the pool area, and two further bedrooms upstairs share a full family bathroom. There is also a separate laundry, extra WC and double internal garaging in place.

In zone for Meadowbank School and close to St Kentigern School, Kings Prep and Baradene College, this coveted location also puts you within walking distance of Knead Cafe, Morrell restaurant and the Orakei Basin walk and Orakei Bay Village.

Auction: 10am Wednesday 4 December (unless sold prior)
