3A Mapiu Street, Remuera, Auckland City, Auckland

Tucked away down a right-of-way on a tiny heartland Remuera side-street, this four-bedroom home has just been subjected to significant transformation. Now reassuringly reclad with new CCC, this will be the perfect property for families wanting top schooling and a compelling move also for locals who may need to downsize from larger land without compromising on size of home.

A curvaceous exterior profile dictates the terms to create an appealing flow to this distinctive 260 sqm (approx.) two storey double glazed residence. The interior decor has not escaped the makeover treatment and displays a light and elegant chic with white walls and lustrous timber flooring reflecting the abundant natural light. The ground floor is devoted to entertaining with a generous open plan lounge and dining area fitted with powerful heat pump for the winter chills. Two ranch slider exits enhance summertime air flow and provide convenient access for guests to mingle inside and out on a sunny north facing patio flanked by lawns. Though the kitchen is separate, a wide cavity slider and servery aperture ensure the cook gets to stay connected within an optimal work triangle layout. A media lounge could do duty as a home office and is situated alongside a sophisticated bathroom. Two upstairs underfloor heated bathrooms are similarly gorgeous with chrome detailing while one provides ensuite to the master which also has a walk-in wardrobe.

Double internal access garaging and neighbouring separate laundry open out onto the wraparound patio on this a fully fenced, landscaped, freehold section with generous forecourt parking. Walk with the kids to nearby Decile 10 Meadowbank School and a little further on to soak up the natural wonders of Orakei Basin walkway. Benson Road shops and cafes are close to home and so too, Remuera Village and Greenlane motorway ramps.
