140B Bassett Road, Remuera, Auckland, 1050, New Zealand

Such an exceptional property demanded a salutary design. And the architects have delivered on every score.

Elevated, far from the road in a magnificent, leafy green amphitheatre backing onto Newmarket Park, this substantial 455m2, ultra-luxurious new Eurostyle and cedar smart home terraces three levels down to an expansive lawn where children can free-range safely. The sense of escape is profound. Hard to believe the Double Grammar zoned property is minutes to the CBD, train station and Newmarket’s fantastic new amenities.

Grand north-west-facing living spaces revel in sun, embracing the majestic backdrop. On the main level, an enormous open entertaining area with high ceiling is punctuated by a symphony of amber teardrop glass pendants, creating a bedazzling mood in the dining zone. Flush behind-designed kitchen cabinetry, a scullery provides extra storage and a gas fire in the lounge complements zoned air conditioning throughout. Sun floods across the pool into the enormous downstairs media room equipped with a wet bar and wine cellar. Everywhere, a beautiful palette of materials and detailing generates a calm, cohesive mood as an inspired combination of pale matte oak and cool white marble recurs repeatedly.

Capacious storage solutions and stunning display shelving is both functional and aesthetic. Upstairs, the office with elegant desking and library shelves peers down over the lounge. Particularly large suites including the master on this floor incorporate spacious walk-in dressing rooms with stunning cabinetry. Parents and guests will appreciate the great separation offered between these rooms and the children’s wing on the lower level.

Reward your family with a bespoke, brand new luxury hideaway, convenient to Auckland’s best facilities.
