The owner's instructions are clear; they want to sell at the auction next Wednesday, the 23rd of April.

Please note the photographs do not show the property's condition, and some work is needed to restore this masterpiece to its original condition.

Crafted with love, this Sukiya-zukuri-style home, spanning approximately 321sqm, is a one-of-a-kind offering in the Auckland central market.

Sukiya-zukuri is a distinctive type of Japanese residential architectural style. This refers to a refined, well-cultivated taste and a delight in elegant pursuits, specifically the enjoyment of the exquisitely performed Japanese tea ceremony.

Historically and by tradition, sukiya-zukuri is characterised by the use of natural materials, especially wood. In contemporary architecture, its formal and spatial concepts are kept alive in modern materials such as steel, glass and concrete.

This home, as you will see, is no exception and is underpinned by over 1,000sqm of northern slopes Remuera land. Now awaiting a new owner to love and restore this beautiful property.

The current owner's plans have changed, and they are moving to Australia.

Conjunctionals are welcome.
