With his cult following a tribute to the unrivalled brilliance of a streamlined, sophisticated, yet endearingly convivial viewpoint, mid-century architect Vlad Cacala found this location so exceptional he built next door for himself.
122 Lucerne Road is a masterful combination of form and practicality that stands as a testament to the signature style and bold creativity of the coterie of designers that redefined contemporary living.
Exuding cantilevered elegance, this very grown-up family home extends a geniality that transports guests to a time where architecture was the framework for cultural immersion, when stylistic fluency between spaces could form a conversation that lasted for decades.
Graced with suddenly-so-necessary features such as a den - in which to retire for an aperitif after the decadence of greeting guests in your formal reception space - there's something deeply covetable about the generosity of this floor plan.
Beaming out at a vast sapphire pool, the twin levels offer simultaneously exquisite views, but quite different moods. The playful sun-kissed upstairs is juxtaposed against the suave, mature and seductively tranquil lower level.
Originally permitted to comprise a bathroom, workroom and extensive playroom, it was reimaged in the 1980's into a club room space and evokes quite accurate visions of nostalgic retro-chic parties.
With an atmosphere that is utterly transportive, its huge glass doors open to a glorious pool with tiered gardens that perfectly shelter and frame it. The candy-blue colours and Palm Springs aesthetic are gorgeously reminiscent of a Slim Aarons picture.
A flexible zone, it has been used extensively by the only owners of this long-held home, and is currently utilised as a second master suite offering peerless privacy with an adjacent living space.
This location thrums with an almost tangible energy, presents ever so nonchalantly inimitably iconic views (set to become the benchmark of your dreams), and offers a residence steeped in history while its bright beautifully light series of spaces nod genteelly to modernity.
Once you've finished admiring vast glass doors, bespoke timber finishing and the textural masterpiece of the stone fire surround, you will eventually arrive poolside at the world's most desirable private members club, resolute that you MUST own this address.
Schools in zone including Remuera Intermediate and Baradene will beguile almost as much as the views have charmed the original owners for over sixty years.
This property embodies mindful design and meticulous craftsmanship. Poised nimbly above the water, it is an ode to a lifestyle of curated comfort, sunny ease and quiet elegance.
