Life is special in this luxuriously warm, big family home where generous north-facing living spaces embrace a private entertaining terrace and manicured garden. Distinguished by high studs and beautiful original detail, this elevated 4-bedroom character residence occupies a sought-after Remuera address.

On the high side of the street, all-day sun pours across the property. In the afternoon, it floods the rear deck and level lawn, reaching deep inside family living areas. The large open-plan French country-style kitchen has a wraparound marble benchtop. Above bench windows open wide so you can serve refreshments straight to guests enjoying the barbecue outside. Gather along the wall-to-wall window seat to eat around the big family dining table. Best room for the lovely views to Rangitoto Island is the light-filled study in front.

Elegant bay windows and a panelled hallway add charm, while ducted gas heating provides effortless comfort during cooler months.

Upstairs, the 3 large bedrooms include the master with a bank of modern wardrobing. Children share the family bathroom, which includes a bath. Downstairs beside the welcoming entry, an enormous 4th bedroom with WC provides excellent separation for guests or teens.

In addition to internal access garaging, there is a garage on the street and 2 off-street parks. The property is zoned for popular Meadowbank Primary and on the walking bus route. It's also handy to Orakei Basin for walks and coffee at Orakei Bay Village (OBV).

A timeless family favourite in one of Remuera's most desirable, well-connected pockets. Make this exceptional residence your family's next chapter.
