Set in a highly sought-after pocket just moments from Benson Road shops and zoned for Double Grammar, this substantial family residence occupies a generous 754sqm (more or less) site, with Little Rangitoto Reserve across the road. Originally built in the 1950s, the home has been enhanced over time, with the current owners undertaking a substantial renovation to a very high standard, elevating both quality and functionality throughout. The result is a beautifully presented residence that delivers modern comfort while retaining its sense of space and character. Securely positioned behind automatic gates and fully fenced, it offers privacy and peace of mind. A just completed comprehensive renovation has further elevated the home, including a brand-new roof, full rewiring, ducted cooling and ventilation system, the creation of an impressive wine cellar (approximately 60% subterranean and naturally ventilated), a new designer kitchen with butler's pantry, and the addition of a second master suite on the main living level. The new kitchen forms the central hub of the home, featuring premium appliances including a Gaggenau double steam oven and cooktop, a fully integrated fridge/freezer, and a built-in coffee machine within the butler's pantry. Designed for both daily living and entertaining, it connects effortlessly with the main living spaces. Accommodation is thoughtfully arranged for flexibility and separation, with four bedrooms in total. Three include walk-in wardrobes, and two feature ensuites, including the newly created main-level master suite. On the lower level, a dedicated media room with blackout electric blinds and a wet bar, complete with a microwave, mini fridge, and dishwasher, opens to the outdoor entertaining area. Landscaped grounds frame an in-ground pool, separate spa pool, outdoor fire, and pizza oven, creating a private setting for year-round enjoyment. Additional features include high-end finishes throughout, striking Brazilian marble feature walls, triple internal access garaging, a separate laundry, and extensive storage. Viewing by appointment.
