156C Orakei Road, Remuera, Auckland

Timeless architectural retreat

A timeless cedar-clad exterior sets the tone for this thoughtfully crafted 1970s haven by mid-century masters Cook, Hitchcock & Sargisson.

Privately positioned well back from the road on a 403 sqm freehold section, it offers a rare blend of enduring design and exceptional tranquility in a prime Remuera location.

A home of substance, serenity and scope, the interiors have been cleverly configured for modern living. The well-appointed kitchen with scullery and dining area sits at the heart of the home, flowing directly to the elevated patio with urban and water views - the perfect space for long lunches, evening drinks and starlit dinners.

Multiple living spaces include a separate north-west facing lounge complete with gas fireplace and views to the Sky Tower and Waitematā Harbour, creating a cosy retreat. Two additional flexible rooms can evolve with your lifestyle, ideal as children's rooms or the perfect peaceful work from home zones.

The master suite is a true sanctuary, elevated for privacy and opening to a large private deck with north-facing views that invites morning coffees and sunset wines.

There are two further generous bedrooms, including one with its own ensuite, plus an additional full bathroom complete with a bathtub, an ideal configuration for families or guests.

Further comforts include a new roof with a 20 year warranty on the products used and a 10 year warranty on labour, double internal garage plus off street parking, a heat pump, wood-burning fireplace, ample storage and a dedicated laundry. Landscaped for privacy and ease, the established low maintenance garden includes fruit trees and flat spaces for the kids and pets.

Double Grammar Zoned and close to top private schools including King's and St Kent's Girls and Boys, this is a private haven with pedigree and room to add your own future vision.
