95 Victoria Avenue, Remuera, Auckland, 1050, New Zealand
A sumptuous colonial residence evoking old world charm and renovated to the highest order. Centre stage on prestigious Victoria Avenue, the home is exceptionally well-appointed, discreet from the road, and framed by a large volcanic stone wall and tall established hedges.
Encompassing a large flat site containing approximately half an acre of grounds, the property comfortably fits a full-size tennis court, heated pool, and layers of beautifully landscaped gardens.
A colourful history in which the home was originally built for a banker, later to be home and sanctuary to the clergy, a diplomatic residence, and now a fully and completely renovated family home with modern conveniences.
The home spans an incredible 900 square metre floor plan plus extensive covered terracing with beautiful views across to Rangitoto Island. Comprising five large bedrooms, five bathrooms, and multiple living spaces, there is room for extended family living, including au pair quarters and a laundry room big enough to serve as a pet grooming parlour.
Decorative ceilings, leadlight windows, hand-crafted woodwork, and pillars are all some of the exquisite turn-of-the-century features – never to be repeated today. Also included are high specification heating and cooling as well as CCTV surveillance. In addition, the home has Lutron home lighting control with a Savant smart living integrated system which is all fully adaptable to customise your living preferences.
The immediate location is home to some of Auckland’s most prestigious residences built from 1900 to 1930. The ‘Avenue’ is well situated for top private schooling and within the preferred Grammar Zone for both Auckland Boys’ and Epsom Girls’.
The convenient location is minutes to Newmarket, the local train station, motorway access, and a short commute via the waterfront to the CBD. This trophy home is also close to beautiful parks and recreational areas including Waiata Reserve.
