Walls dissolve where they need to, with expansive folding and sliding timber doors allowing the living areas to open effortlessly to the outdoors — transforming the home into a relaxed subtropical entertaining environment.

Set quietly apart from its surroundings, this is a residence that resists comparison. Conceived and refined by its creative owners, it is a home defined by intention rather than convention. Privacy is immediate. Beyond a sculptural concrete wall, a quietly unassuming transitional villa unfolds - anchored by a striking Paul Brown–designed pavilion that introduces a bold contemporary counterpoint to the home’s original form. Constructed in concrete block and arranged over two levels, the pavilion opens to views across a solar-heated pool and established specimen trees. Beyond the garden, Potters Park remains discreetly concealed yet immediately accessible - close enough to hear the distant joy of children at play, a gentle reminder of community without any intrusion on privacy. Light is ever-present yet carefully moderated, captured through 10ft stud grandeur, expansive glazing, and floor to-ceiling glass that shifts the mood from morning brilliance to softened afternoon calm. As day turns to evening, the atmosphere deepens - every light thoughtfully and painstakingly positioned by the vendors to create an evolving ambience, moving seamlessly from sunlit days to sultry nights. At the centre of the home, the kitchen is its true heart - refined yet welcoming, designed for connection as much as function. Supported by a separate scullery, a spacious laundry and excellent storage, it performs effortlessly for everyday family life while rising beautifully to the occasion when entertaining.

Here, traditional architecture and modernism coexist in balance, creating spaces that invite reflection, restoration and quiet enjoyment.

Bathrooms throughout the home have been thoughtfully designed, ensuring a consistent level of comfort and finish - allowing the next owners to simply arrive and enjoy. An EV charger has also been installed, discreetly supporting modern, future-focused living. This has been a home of life well lived - a place of creativity, family, celebration, and continuity.

Celebrating a grandstand position on Paritai Drive, arguably Auckland’s finest street, this 941sqm estate showcases 360-degree harbour views that must be experienced to be believed. With only two owners since it was crafted in 1932, the residence is now a striking juxtaposition of old and new - a unique blend of classic character and contemporary architecture. Besides the small cottage at number 58, this home was the very first house to be built in the newly subdivided Paritai Drive. Sailing afficionados will also recognise the original owner, celebrated yacht designer Bob Stewart. In fact, the iconic Stewart 34 and many other well-known Auckland yachts were designed in the top-level study, overlooking the harbour. The front of the home remains true to the original 1930s heritage. It’s rich with period detailing and has been elegantly modernised over time. Spectacular harbour views are on full display in the ground floor formal living and dining rooms, which flow out to sun-soaked terraces and the recently refurbished swimming pool and spa complex. The entertainer’s kitchen has been refurbished and features Gaggenau appliances and generous storage and workspaces. As well as the sweeping staircase, a lift also accesses the upper-level accommodation. Three bedrooms and the study up here savour panoramic views of the Auckland ports, busy harbour, Rangitoto and the North Shore. Steel joinery withstands the coastal conditions, and the rooms are serviced by the marble family bathroom. A two-level glass walkway connects the original to the new marble extension at the rear, which sits above the double garage. Designed by Ken Crosson Architects, it was created as a boardroom but could be utilised as a home office, guest accommodation or teenage retreat. Sleek, streamlined design incorporates a concealed built in tv, wall mounted bed, bathroom and kitchen. Walls of glass around the perimeter are protected by bespoke motorised screens, which tilt to accommodate light and sun. A spiral internal staircase arrives up to the top floor rooftop terrace, which enjoys 360-degree views. A deceased estate, it is an incredibly rare chance to acquire one of Paritai Drive’s last major opportunities.

Set discreetly back from one of Remuera’s most distinguished streets, this remarkable residence presents a seamless blend of traditional character and modern expression. The brilliance of its architectural intent, the quality of its material and the precision of its detailing extend far beyond first impression. Originally conceived by Arts & Crafts architect Gerald Jones and later entirely reimagined as the personal residence of acclaimed architect Noel Lane, the property represents a considered reinvention rather than a renovation– traditional form retained and spatial experience transformed. Across three interconnected levels, light and volume become architectural elements in themselves. A central vertical opening links the upper floors to the lower atrium, creating a constant sense of scale and flow, while two staircases positioned at opposing ends of the home allow movement to feel effortless. The main level is thoughtfully designed for both daily living and gatherings. A north-facing walnut and travertine kitchen fitted with Gaggenau and Miele appliances forms the centre of the home, complemented by a light-filled dining area. Open casual living areas face both the front and rear, while a wood-panelled formal lounge provides a more intimate retreat. On the ground level, a dramatic atrium anchors the home’s social life. Opening to an enclosed side courtyard and extending outward to a substantial rear sculptural courtyard, the space is equally suited to intimate celebrations or larger-scale occasions. The courtyard connects onwards to a generous lawn, while a concealed garage door allows the space to expand– a thoughtful design that enhances both flexibility and flow. The upper level is dedicated to accommodation, featuring four bedrooms including a primary suite with an adjoining nursery or study. These rooms flow naturally to the rooftop terrace, where elevated views to Rangitoto and Orakei Basin provide a serene backdrop for evening drinks or quiet retreat. The recently renewed surrounding grounds by Tony Murrell form a natural extension of the architecture and are crafted with the same uncompromising philosophy as the home itself. From the moment you enter the garden, walking across hammered basalt and warm-toned travertine, the integrity of the material selection is immediately apparent– not confined to just focal spaces, but carried throughout. The landscaping is executed with permanence in mind and designed to last a lifetime– a level of thoroughness rarely achieved. Earth, Sea and Sky elements are subtly expressed across the expansive site through carefully curated aggregates and sculptural planting of exceptional calibre. The Japanese-style zen garden frames the pool, while pathways weave through bamboo, bonsai, camellias and evergreen azaleas, all of which remain engaging throughout the seasons. Both intimate and expansive, the grounds allow for contemplation and entertaining, with dynamic lighting carrying the atmosphere into the evening. Positioned within the Double Grammar Zone, directly across from Victoria Avenue shops and moments from Remuera Village, the property offers both prestige and practicality. A timeless architectural masterpiece that is reimagined with purpose and executed without compromise. Important: This property may be marketed as suitable for overseas purchasers.

Rich in history and built in a prime position at the Eastern end of St Heliers Bay in 1884, this grand and prominent home offers a unique and rare opportunity. Constructed using materials brought from England on sailing ships, the home was exceptionally well built and designed to stand the test of time. These materials were used as ballast for the long sea voyage. Once anchored in the bay, the materials were rowed ashore to the beach below the property and carted up the hill to the site. This gorgeous Victorian residence has been a landmark in St Heliers since the early European settlers arrived. Its architecture and design are iconic, and after being held by the same family for over 60 years, a rare opportunity now presents itself for a new custodian to guide it into its next chapter. Positioned on an elevated site regarded as one of the best in the bay, with easy access to the beach, it was the first home built at the Eastern end of St Heliers Bay. The home captures sweeping views along the beach, across the bay to the city, and over the harbour to Rangitoto. It also enjoys views of North Head, the East Coast Bays, and the shipping channel. The home sits within an affluent seaside enclave known for boutique shopping, acclaimed cafe's, and beautiful beaches. The property is within easy walking distance of local amenities and features a private gated walkway to the beach and village via Cliff Road. The two-storey, 234sqm (approx.) character home comprises three titles and sits on 865sqm (more or less) of land. It is currently configured as two separate apartments: a three-bedroom residence upstairs and a two-bedroom residence downstairs, connected by an internal door. Alongside is an additional parcel of vacant land, offering exceptional flexibility and future potential. Bring your architect and make the most of this once-in-a-generation opportunity. There are many options: •Retain the apartments as income-generating rentals in a high-demand location and build another home on the vacant section behind. •Restore and extend the existing residence into a substantial family home, enhancing its beauty and grandeur. •Redevelop the entire site under the Residential Mixed Housing Urban zoning (subject to council approval).
