43 Pukeora Avenue, Remuera, Auckland California Dreaming

Stretching across a sunny north facing ridgeline overlooking a canopy of native and exotic trees, the design concept behind this 1980s home resonates with northern California modern architecture of the time, with its warm vertical cedar cladding and unobtrusive low roof line at the front.

Stepping inside the main entry reveals a volume of open plan spaces including split level living and dining areas forming a central axis for everyday family life. This large room flows outward through glass doors to a north facing deck overlooking a beautiful camphor laurel tree with its elegantly shaped bows, an ideal place for entertaining under the stars.

The kitchen finishes combine dark engineered stone bench tops with contrasting white lacquered cabinetry, a breakfast bar, a free standing oven with gas hob and ample storage. A wood stove with decorative schist wall adds comfort over winter months to the whole space.

Just off the kitchen, an internal 'bridge' connects the public spaces to the private, leading to a discrete master suite with walk in wardrobe, the laundry area and second bedroom and study. Elevated and north facing, the outlook is over mature gardens with its shaded walkways and a sunny small orchard complete with feijoas and a variety of citrus. The second 'wing' on the eastern side of the home includes a further two bedrooms and a bathroom.

The spatial organisation of the floor plan presents options with the potential for two semi self-contained areas, both with independent external access presenting opportunities for extended families or a home base work environment. With scope for a few upgrades, the home is also very liveable as it is.

A convenient location within a popular Remuera street, the property has easy access to sought after schools, local amenities and the motorway.
