172a Upland Road, Remuera

Designed as an inner city getaway, from the moment you pull in to the palm-lined driveway you feel like you are entering a private tropical retreat. Situated on the north facing slopes of Upland Road, Remuera, opposite the Orakei Basin walkways, it is the first time this property has been offered to the market since the current owners rebuilt it 10 years ago. Having a professional tennis playing daughter in the family and training onsite, has meant the AstroTurf court is a pivotal feature of the property, as is the heated swimming pool and spa. The main level of the home features a large designer kitchen complete with discreet scullery, which flows through to a dining area and sitting room, all of which open out onto a large north facing entertaining deck for outdoor dining. A spacious master bedroom suite with a stunning bathroom and walk-through wardrobe is tucked away at the far end of the home for privacy and quiet. A large fully-fitted home theatre could easily be an additional formal living space if required. A super-sized office and storage area completes the picture for this level. Downstairs there is a second generous-sized living area flanked by doors opening on both sides for endless outdoor living options. Four bedrooms and two bathrooms on this level make it a teenager's paradise as they float in and out for tennis, swimming, lounging or entertaining friends. A wine cellar and outside bar area complete the resort feeling of the property. This immaculate home has been finished to an exceptionally high standard throughout. It offers timeless appeal and if you are looking for a substantial family home to purchase within the double grammar zone, with everything you may need or want, then this property should be your first resort. ...
