18A Upland Road, Remuera, Auckland

Palms Springs living

A commanding, contemporary sanctuary of rare scale and sophistication has been architecturally designed for family form and function by Cook Sargisson & Pirie and built by renowned builder Roosenbrand Construction.

Set across an expansive 1,094 sqm Freehold estate on Remuera's prestigious northern slopes, the home is a private retreat where space, light and luxury converge effortlessly while the 448sqm home over two levels offers a rare opportunity to own the perfect layout.

On the ground floor, high ceilings and floor to ceiling windows allow all day light to flow into the living areas. A designer kitchen with a marble central island acts as a centre piece for family mealtime and entertaining large groups. The kitchen, dining and living areas are all connected and spill seamlessly out to the northwest-facing resort-style entertaining terraces and landscaped gardens.

Multiple secondary living zones enhance the home's versatility, including a dedicated media room and a generous playroom or executive home office. A beautifully finished guest powder room completes the lower level with ease and functionality while large storage rooms provide the opportunity for a luxury wine cellar or pet's quarters.

Relax under the LouvreTec covered seating area while the children play in the heated swimming pool or spark up the built in barbecue and unwind beside the outdoor fireplace in this sheltered suntrap.

Upstairs, four luxurious bedrooms provide exceptional accommodation. The primary suite is a serene retreat, featuring a walk-in robe and elegant ensuite, while a second ensuite bedroom offers refined comfort for guests or older children. The rest of the floor is home to another home office and two bedrooms which are serviced by a beautifully appointed family bathroom, with elevated outlooks extending to Mount Hobson and the Sky Tower.

Additional highlights include internal access triple car garaging plus further off street parking, a large under-house storage room and a landscaped Tiger Turf lawn set up for children's outdoor activities, Ring Security System, house music system indoor and outdoor, underfloor heating, 3 x fireplaces, internal ducted air-conditioning to all bedrooms and a laundry opening onto a secure pin code tradesman service lane for discrete property maintenance requirements.

Discretely located off the street in the Double Grammar Zone, close to top private schools, and walking distance to the Upland Road shops, Benson Road shops, Little Rangtitoto Reserve and the Orakei Basin nature walk, this is blue chip family buying at its very best.
