About this property

Privately positioned on Remuera's highly desirable northern slopes, this architecturally designed residence presents a rare opportunity to secure generous family living, exceptional indoor-outdoor flow and exciting future potential within the coveted Double Grammar Zone. Designed by Lane Priest Architects and built in 1986, this home occupies a 1/3 share of approximately 936sqm, and offers around 212sqm of thoughtfully arranged living. It presents compelling options for a broad range of buyers - from families seeking an accessible entry into one of Auckland's most prestigious school zones, to experienced renovators or property investors looking to modernise, reclad and unlock further value. Step inside to a light-filled entrance lobby, where tiled flooring and high ceilings establish an immediate sense of space. The formal living room, complete with an open fireplace, flows effortlessly to two private courtyards, while the separate dining room opens through French doors to outdoor spaces at either end, creating an impressive connection between inside and out. At the heart of the home, the well-appointed galley-style kitchen with Bosch appliances connects naturally with the informal family living area. An atrium-style ceiling draws in abundant natural light, while doors open to an expansive north-facing courtyard complete with a spa pool - a private, sun-filled retreat perfect for entertaining, alfresco dining and relaxed family living. Upstairs, the generous primary suite includes a walk-through wardrobe and ensuite. Two additional double bedrooms cater perfectly to family or guests—one featuring a north-facing balcony, while the third bedroom enjoys the luxury of two private balconies facing Komaru Street. A central family bathroom services these rooms. A double internal-access garage, additional off-street parking and excellent storage further enhance the practicality of this substantial home. The property is zoned for Remuera School, Remuera Intermediate, Auckland Grammar and Epsom Girls Grammar School, with Baradene College and several of Auckland's leading private schools also within easy reach. Public and school bus services are conveniently close by, while Remuera Village, Newmarket and the CBD are all easily accessible.
