This magnificent Sholto Smith 1920s landmark family home has been admired by locals for decades. Overlooking the lovely Orakei Basin, it is a short stroll to the favourite locals' destinations - Little Rangitoto Reserve & the Benson Rd shops for your Sunday morning coffee.

Entering into a beautiful wood-panelled lobby complete with a feature staircase, the living spaces that are generous and sophisticated flow easily throughout this level; there is a reading room with fireplace off the main lounge, and a bedroom, and bathroom for either guests or an au pair. For ambience there are two wood-burning fireplaces.

The large kitchen and informal living overlook the northwest-facing garden. Upstairs there is the family area with 3 bedrooms, all with lovely outlooks plus an additional room for an office, bedroom, or hobby room with a stunning view over Orakei Basin.

Catering for children of all ages, enjoy the benefits of some of Auckland's most prized public schools - AGS, EGG's, Remuera Primary and Intermediate Schools, and Meadowbank School plus access to a huge choice of private schools for both boys and girls; you certainly can provide the best schooling options and amenities this city has to offer.

Public transport options are incredibly convenient including walking distance to the Orakei Train Station, motorway access, and just a short commute to the CBD.

For those wanting to secure a prime Northern slopes Remuera position, you can simply live, relax and enjoy this lovely family home as the current owners have for the past 10 years or explore the options of restoring and renovating this mostly original c1920's character home. Working from home works superbly well here; this is a family home you will be proud to call your own. Call Trent 021 989 466 or Gerard 021 996 622 to view.
