Architecture transcends heritage, pushing through traditional boundaries to follow the sun in this extremely private substantial home. The home was originally designed by renowned Arts & Crafts architect Gerald Jones and more recently updated by the award-winning contemporary architect Noel Lane. In transforming the historic home, Lane rigorously considered every detail to enhance his family's enjoyment of the property. The result? Classic pre-1920s character blends with magical new architectural elements in a family sanctuary that celebrates serene Zen-inspired gardens. Throughout, sumptuous materials - like dark kauri floors and extravagantly crafted, elegant timber cabinetry - add warmth and richness, while carefully positioned windows and skylights capture light in all the right places. Thanks to Lane, the original heritage design now has a sunny north-facing focus. Ample sitting areas surround a walnut and travertine kitchen overlooking a dining area, flooded with light. A conservatory opens through huge glass doors to a sculptural canopy by the pool. In contrast, the generous original wood panelled formal lounge is a moody introspective showpiece of tradition. Practicalities on this level include an impressive guest bathroom. An enormous laundry doubles as a butler's pantry for entertaining. Two staircases allow an easy flow around the home. Both lead to a voluminous lower level entertainment area that opens to a sculpture bay and vast outdoor courtyard in front of a large lawn - the perfect party venue. There's a huge self-contained parents apartment above triple car garaging and art/wine storage. Four more sizeable bedrooms are on the upper level with three more bathrooms. With their travertine and timber details, they share a consistency of design and craftmanship. The master suite includes a spacious office or nursery and a dressing room. A timeless architectural treasure in Remuera's most prestigious address. Let its masterful story surprise and delight you on a daily basis....
