14 Martin Avenue, Remuera, Auckland City, Auckland

Built for the Kerridge family in American Modern style, this iconic, much admired 1940s home has been rebuilt, restored, and extended to attain a perfectionist contemporary standard. BDG Architects kept many lovely original features and excelled in creating a spectacular, luxuriously comfortable, richly detailed clifftop sanctuary where no expense was spared.

The property celebrates huge views over Orakei Basin towards Mt Victoria, the city and harbour. But the new layout focuses around a sheltered central courtyard with heated pool for summer entertaining. Connected by a light-filled, glazed gallery walkway along the 3-bedroom children's wing, expansive living areas at either end offer a choice of places to sit and relax.

With a character-rich palette of materials in beautifully redesigned interiors, it feels like you're living in a boutique hotel 24/7. There's fully integrated security and sound in a smart home system. It is climate controlled with ducted air con and has water-based underfloor heating throughout. Extremely solid construction and custom-built double glazed, full height glass & steel windows and doors make it exceedingly peaceful, even in a cyclone.

Specifications are the world's finest and include an Italian Poliform kitchen with electronic drawers, solid oak cabinetry from Milan and toughened glass black island bench, Wolf ovens and Sub-Zero fridge. A floating Australian jarrah ceiling in the family area is a breath-taking work of art. Poliform wardrobing is also impressive in the primary suite dressing room leading to the stunning black porcelain lined ensuite.

Along one of Remura's most beautiful tree-lined avenues, a short walk to popular Knead café, Orakei Bay Village and the train station - covet designer perfection in a home of unparalleled beauty and quality.
