Positioned privately at the very top of the hill, the commanding presence and stately grandeur are immediate and breathtaking. Sitting within 1.4 acres of established landscaped greenery that includes mature trees and manicured lawns, this vast property is an exercise in luxury living.

The dual-level home extends across an expansive 550sqm of elegant and pristine style. Originally designed and built-in 1908, it was completely refurbished over three years from 2013 to create a premium contemporary living experience that pays homage to its charming heritage.

The generous open plan heart of the home hosts a high spec kitchen with integrated appliances, stone-top island, Gaggenau induction hob and grill, double oven, and adjacent scullery and laundry. Entertain with ease from this central position, which encompasses the casual living and dining and flows seamlessly to the formal living room and separate media room.

Extensive glass floods the living zones in light and provides panoramic views of the garden and Te Mata Peak - or take the festivities out to the covered verandah and deck, which lead to the heated 25m in-ground pool and hot tub.

The family wing, which is accessed via the atrium, includes three bedrooms, living room and bathroom, whilst the master suite is a spacious sanctuary and boasts its own sunroom, two walk in wardrobes, ensuite and office.

The guest wing is ideal for the au pair, extended family and visitors, with its own living and dining area and large bedroom.
