SPACIOUS DGZ REMUERA CLASSIC
Originally built in the 1910s and extensively reconfigured and improved by architect John Durkin, this substantial traditional weatherboard home combines period character with the scale and functionality of a modern family home.
Set back from the road on an elevated site, you enjoy impressive views to the East. The formal entrance sets the tone with rich matai flooring, high studs and generous proportions. The living room with ornate ceiling and feature fireplace leads through to the dining room, which in turn flows to the expansive open-plan kitchen and family area.
The home
This substantial kitchen is well equipped for family cooking, with extensive storage, induction cooking and a double oven. The radiators that run throughout the ground floor rooms ensure warmth in the winter, and in the summer, stacker doors open to a generous colonial-style verandah, with a step leading down to the heated pool and spa, an excellent setting for family life and entertaining.
Four double bedrooms plus office are located on the ground floor, alongside a substantial family bathroom & guest toilet. Upstairs, the master suite has a walk-in wardrobe, ensuite and private deck, where you can wake up to the best of the views. Stylish plantation shutters have been installed in all the bedrooms, with generous skylights flooding the home with natural light.
The lower level adds further practicality, with laundry, drying area, shower and toilet, wine cellar and a large double internal-access garage. There’s additional parking for four or more vehicles on the driveway.
The fully enclosed grounds, secured behind electronic gates, include plenty of space for growing veggies, picking fruit or kicking a ball about... if you can get the kids out of the pool.
Spacious dgz remuera classic.
