This modern architectural gem bears glorious testimony to the fact architectural aficionados can choose to downsize a little without forgoing the artistry of composition they expect in a home. And the fact this bold yet exquisite residence designed by architect Simon Pirie spreads out over a 345m2 layout means families seeking excellence should take notice as well.

Secure and quiet in a no-exit street just eight minutes' walk from Remuera Village and zoned for Remuera Intermediate, Victoria Avenue School and Double Grammar. The secure off-street parking fronting the internal-access double garage will be invaluable. Entry introduces a double height foyer, also remarkable for its monumental stepped bookcase. Handsome walnut-stained oak flooring continues into the large and airy open-plan living-dining-kitchen expanse, bathed in beautiful light thanks to its north-facing orientation.

Meticulous cabinetry reveals a wide gas fireplace but conceals the television and so much more within its clean lines. The entertainers' kitchen epitomises sleek, stunning stylishness. Functionality is a focus, with abundant storage and a combined laundry and office area. Completing this level, where you'll enjoy a speaker system and gas-fired water underfloor heating, are a bathroom and an additional room which can be a media room or fourth bedroom. Living flows out to an alfresco entertaining courtyard forming part of thoughtfully landscaped, fenced grounds.

Upstairs a large master bedroom looking over the neighbourhood with a walk-in-wardrobe and polished ensuite and easily accommodates an additional seating area. An extra-generous landing and gallery-style hallway feed two other double bedrooms and an urbane family bathroom including a free-standing bath. This property's accomplished composition and gloriously realised quality guarantees it will be highly sought.
