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. However, this does not constitute confirmation of eligibility, approval, or suitability for any individual buyer. All overseas purchasers remain subject to New Zealand’s overseas investment laws, including the Overseas Investment Act 2005, and may require consent from the Overseas Investment Office.

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. Accommodation is generous and versatile, with six sleeping spaces complemented by a dedicated music room and a formal dining room - offering flexibility for blended families, teenagers, or multi-generational living. Here, traditional architecture and modernism coexist in balance, creating spaces that invite reflection, restoration and quiet enjoyment. Materiality plays a leading role: pressed English heritage metal ceilings, romantic fireplaces, crafted timber screens and carefully positioned planting create moments of texture and rhythm, elevating the everyday into something quietly artful. 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. Each room speaks its own language, yet together they form a cohesive and compelling whole. The property is situated outside flood zones, providing further peace of mind - and zoned for Epsom Girls Grammar, MAGS, Balmoral School Primary, adding significant appeal for families seeking the very best education. Photography captures only a fragment of the experience. With the owners now embracing a new chapter, this remarkable residence is ready to be discovered - and reimagined - by those seeking something truly exquisite and one-of-a-kind.
