50 Orakei Road Remuera, Auckland City

Supremely elegant living is found at the end of a manicured driveway in Remuera's heartland Double Grammar Zone. The 859sqm(approx) property encompasses a sensational and sunny 355sqm(approx) home (stucco with cavity system) offering multiple levels and impressive entertainment spaces inside and out. Ideally configured to raise a busy family of active children, the Waiata Reserve neighbour, lush tropical gardens and sparkling in-ground swimming pool enhance the many other features throughout.

Traditional in design, this country-style manor house is a modern home successfully blending the best elements of a romantic bygone era with the highly-specced, contemporary needs of today. A generously-proportioned reception hall creates a fine first impression with this being the conduit to a number of impressive living areas. A stately sitting room with fireplace, a casual lounge and spacious formal dining room flow seamlessly from one to another complemented by timeless timber, a light colour palette, high stud and plantation shutters. The connecting loggia with Hinuera flagstone floor and gas fireplace provides ample room for al fresco socialising - a versatile and much-favoured hangout with restful views on the gardens and park beyond. The renovated kitchen reflects top craftsmanship with integrated handle cabinetry for a smooth streamlined aesthetic and is equipped to cater any event with ease.

Four double bedrooms on the upper floors are comfortable and luxurious with a guest wing having ensuite/wardrobe area and upper floor master quarters boasting an immense dressing room and mosaic-tiled bathroom. Additional rooms include a powder room, separate laundry, study and top floor lounge ideal for the kids.

The double garage has a mezzanine for tons of storage and there's plenty of visitor parking. An off peak 15-minute drive to the CBD and within close proximity to both of Remuera's shopping and cafe precincts, with zoning for Remuera School and Remuera Intermediate and top private schools close by too.
