1A Mahoe Avenue, Remuera, Auckland

Families, artists, and entertainers will be drawn to this sensational Brent Hulena-designed double grammar zone home just off Victoria Avenue. Rest assured, it delivers much more than meets the eye from the street.

The modernised living, dining, and kitchen spaces surround a private leafy courtyard where you'll enjoy al-fresco entertaining in any weather. Towering double-glazed windows flood these spaces with sun and light. In the summer, huge banks of bi-fold doors slide open to create a restful garden pavilion, and soaring double-height ceilings provide expansive spaces where your artwork will take centre stage.

Accommodation expands and contracts to suit medium to large families. The private master suite is an oasis with his and hers walk-through wardrobes plus an ensuite. Upstairs there are three big double bedrooms plus a study (easily another bedroom) and a large TV lounge. The ground level hosts the fourth (or fifth) bedroom with ensuite - use it for guests, or your teenager, convert it to a second study, or install a home gym.

The oversized double internal garage is further enhanced by a handy store room and separate laundry off to the side. Moments walk to Victoria Avenue School and Baradene College, this leafy Remuera northern slopes location is highly prized, nicely sheltered, and whisper quiet night and day.

If you need a modern low-maintenance lock and leave solution or an easy-care modern family home in a central northern slopes location, this remarkably spacious home is well placed to exceed your expectations.
