38a Richmond Avenue, Northcote Point, North Shore City, Auckland

A superior 1907 residence breathtakingly poised in an elevated position watching over one of the most desirable locations on the North Shore. On arrival, this imposing villa beckons you up the steps to enjoy the beautiful welcoming verandah that boasts the ideal vantage point for watching the world go by whilst admiring the large, landscaped garden with its lush lawn, protective mature tree and topiary hedges that lovingly embrace both sides of the beautifully balanced facade. If you keep waiting you’ll have time to admire the stained glass that frames the solid panelled front door, all adding to the anticipation of the reveal…

Atmosphere, luxury and an extraordinary sense of well-being is evident here. Inside the home a combination of natural kauri floors, soaring batten and board ceilings, sash windows, open fireplaces and central heating, stunning tactile marble and architecturally designed cabinetry and atmospheric lighting, all accompanied with a carefully curated collection of artworks - renders this property with an acute sense of majesty. This feeling is as seamless as the inside and outside flow into the rear garden that features a bespoke pool surrounded by perfectly placed whitewashed bricks that are warm underfoot delivering family and guests to an expansive yet intimate deck.

The flexibility of the rooms across two floors is unusual for a property of this period. Many of the large spaces offer ubiquity and separation for a study or work from home opportunity or is an ideal setting for guests and teens. 38A Richmond Avenue is perfect for upsizers or downsizers who would like to spend their precious time enjoying their home, instead of maintaining it. With not one inch of flotsam this home renovation has been sympathetically considered and optimised for pleasure, relaxation and entertaining.

Viewing by appointment only.
