7 Lochiel Road, Remuera, Auckland

The sunlight house

With all the charm and character of days gone by, this sun-drenched Remuera bungalow is on the market for the first time since 1977.

Cherished and meticulously cared-for by just four families since it was built over a century ago; the current owners' lives changed for the better the moment they first stepped inside.

Beyond the double front door, a generous oak-panelled entry hall points to the grandeur that lies beyond. Adorned with leadlight windows, open fires and tall ceilings, the formal sitting room opens to the covered front porch where, tucked around the corner, you'll discover a secret office.

Back inside, steal a glimpse of the rich timber trims in the grand dining room, then move effortlessly past the bright and modern open-plan kitchen/family area, and out to the pancake flat backyard. Deliciously private, quiet, and facing north-west, it's a sheltered oasis of calm, perfect for relaxing and entertaining with friends and family.

A central double Grammar zone location like this is highly desirable, with Remuera Village cafes and restaurants just 400m around the corner. Residents are often reluctant to sell around here because commuting north, south and into the CBD is so easy.

Essentially a single level home with the quintessential indoor/outdoor flow that everyone craves, this much-loved gem is ready for a new chapter. Turn the page.
