82A Arney Road, Remuera, Auckland

No Ordinary House - Timeless Architecture

On prime Arney Road, this exceptional renovated home on 1205 sqm from the revolutionary 1960s originally designed by award winning architects, Newman Smith and Associates and recently remodelled to approximately 408 sqm, the result is a home you instantly feel connected with and those with an appreciation for good design and a touch of nostalgia will love. Unique in Auckland is the creation of a space so close to the City, that exudes a sense of luxury and relaxation that is quiet, tranquil with a sub-tropical garden akin to a spa retreat!
Morgan Cronin crafted an outstanding kitchen with 4.75m x 1.2m Corian Island as the central focal family area. Suspended dual Miele ovens play tribute to the space age notions of the 60s and an integrated fridge with find details ensured the colour scheme is uninterrupted. Flow to the dining and sitting room is easy and ceiling high solid wood bi-fold and stacked doors open to the two outdoor entertaining areas which in turn lead down to the sun soaked heated swimming pool and spa. Focal to the lower outdoor entertaining area is the North facing pool, a corner of which is under the eaves of the sitting room giving sun protection. Lounge chairs look out to a quiet and tranquil beautiful sub tropical landscaped garden.
A pool room with a kitchenette and bathroom also opens to enjoy its own outdoor area and access to the heated swimming pool and designer trampoline set against the superb garden is ideal for teenagers to have their own zone, visitors or extended family members. Upstairs there are three bedrooms and two luxurious bathrooms with sunken bathtubs, under floor heating and rimu/oak vanities. The first of three master suites has an ensuite, a very large walk-in wardrobe and a balcony overlooking the pool and views across the Northern Remuera slopes.
Downstairs are two more huge bedrooms, either of which could be chosen as a master, both with ensuites and sharing a balcony which overlooks the designer trampoline; landscaped as part of the garden. A separate large storage room and a big family size laundry are also on this lower level. The property enjoys fibre connectivity, video/music system, central heating and bathroom underfloor heating. In Double grammar zone, this house is handy to several parks and most private schools are close by. A double garage and plenty of extra parking completes this sympathetically remodelled home by Russell Cannon Architecture which is bound to become an iconic home showcasing the extraordinary decade it was conceived in and updated in the next century.
