26-28 Arthur Street, Freemans Bay, Auckland, 1021, New Zealand

THE DEAL

Situated in one of Auckland’s most sought-after historic precincts and built by the current owner, the commission was clear – a family home harmonious within its surroundings, with all the benefits of a modern architectural build. Sitting atop 856sqm of north-east facing elevated land, the property idyllically boasts uninterrupted serene views of the city and waterfront.

Throughout every stage of the design, thought has been carefully given to each and every facet, from the functional layout and Pam Ingram architecture to the established Serena Blackie landscape design across the meticulous double site.

Step inside and you are overwhelmed with the generosity of the space over vitex timber floors. The kitchen is positioned to compliment the seamless flow of formal, informal and outdoor zones. Top of the range appliances and Corian bench tops compliment the high spec kitchen and the butler’s pantry, both with plenty of storage and adjacent kitchen garden.

All positioned on the north and eastern aspects, the four bedrooms including two master suites, one on each level, have been positioned to capture the natural light, expansive views and all benefit from balcony / deck access.

Designed with beauty and function in mind, lifestyle features of this residence include: gym, swimming pool, 450 bottle wine cellar, 22sqm (approx.) separate office and a traditional box room.

Rarely found, this home benefits from an extended 6.8m long double internal garage with an impressive 28sqm (approx.) of built in storage. Gated and supurbly private this residence also includes four additional off street car parks.
