Situated on one of the highest points in Remuera amongst the suburbs most elite addresses stands a landmark property whose very presence exudes unparalleled old world character and sophistication. Built circa 1880, the plantation style homestead has an incredible history and once dominated a large land holding on top of the ridge.
Spanning a staggering 472 sqm internal floor-plan, the integrity of the house remains still very much intact from the vast proportions, solid Kauri floorboards to the picturesque sash windows and the high vaulted ceilings. The sheer presence of this house makes an impressive statement and is the type of property that will remain in the next family for generations.
In the same vein as other grand mansion homes of the period, an imposing central lobby with an impressive feature staircase is flanked by stately rooms to the left and right. As with other Downton Abbey-esque homes' of the period, both formal and informal reception and dining rooms are the hallmark of a house built for entertaining on a truly splendid scale. Most rooms' feature upgraded fireplaces with character surrounds adding to the unquestionable air of warmth and glow the house has about it.
Although traditional in many regards, the house's large kitchen is less so with an open plan format that looks to a sunny valley view of Remuera through enormous conservatory- style windows. Six bedrooms accommodate a large family and those perhaps with staff or a nanny/ au pair. Internal 4 car garaging includes a workshop as well as drive through access to additional off street parking for a boat and trailer.
The key location is within easy walking distance to Remuera Road, Newmarket and top private schools. Arney Road is considered one of the most desirable addresses in the country; a beautiful sweeping boulevard of wide pavements, established trees and some of the most attractive, expensive and impressive homes in the nation.
Having been in the same family for 20 years, the next owner will naturally do the same.
