43a Spencer Street, Remuera, Auckland

European elegance, contemporary luxury

Elevated for exquisite close-up city views, this classically European luxury haven is a sublime secret where a family can hide in serenity enjoying expansive living in a top central Remuera location. It is handy to Victoria Ave Primary, Kings Prep, St Kents, Baradene and in double Grammar Zone.

The substantial 531sqm home sits on beautifully landscaped, manicured 867sqm grounds within the original Italian walled rose garden that was part of the next door property belonging to high profile businessman Sir Douglas Myers. Leafy surrounding walls add a beautifully mellow effect and ensure total security. Sun pours across the gas heated pool into warm, sumptuous, open living and entertaining areas where gas fires, underfloor heating and subtly lit coved ceilings create an intoxicating ambiance. Every room opens wide and brings the green of the garden inside.

Then there is the clever layout that offers options so everyone can come together or escape to their own separate sanctuary. The generous kitchen, dining area extends to a louvretech covered patio for barbecues overlooking the pool and you can relax in a media room with 'stars' that sparkle in the ceiling. A large two-bedroom wing with a private entertaining lounge and kitchenette on the living level adds versatility as a guest area, apartment for relatives or teenagers while the indulgent upper level accommodates two more bedroom suites including a magnificent master suite with large dressing room plus the office.

Everything about this property is breath-taking from the huge entry foyer to the dramatic staircase, the wine cellar, the handy four-car garaging plus massive storage, right down to all the little details.

Truly exceptional, this is a must-see!
