A spacious and architecturally significant mansion on Remuera Road in Auckland has been listed for sale, offering a blend of contemporary design and timeless appeal. The property at 724B Remuera, completed in 1996 and designed by noted architect Simon Carnachan, occupies a sizable 2,838-square-metre site accessed via a quiet right-of-way. It lies within walking distance of Remuera Village, known for its diverse shops, cafes, library, supermarket, and community facilities.
The concrete-built residence covers 524 square metres and features multiple living areas with high ceilings, creating an open yet defined layout. The current owner, who acquired the home in 2013, describes it as well-suited for family living and entertaining, highlighting the generous space and thoughtful design.
During her ownership, the kitchen was extensively renovated with a new installation by Morgan Cronin, equipped with premium appliances and anchored by a large central island that naturally draws people together. In addition, the property's three bathrooms and laundry have been remodelled to modern standards.
The upper level contains four bedrooms, including a master suite with a walk-in wardrobe and an en-suite bathroom. All bedrooms offer views of the surrounding greenery, contributing to a sense of tranquility and style. The residence is zoned for Meadowbank Primary, Remuera Intermediate, and Selwyn College, and is also close to several private schools.
A notable feature of the home is a separate one-bedroom granny flat above the three-car garage, offering flexible accommodation options for extended family or live-in staff. The grounds include a lush garden planted with a variety of shrubs, bromeliads, oak trees, and tall palms, creating a tropical resort-like atmosphere. The property is known for its abundant birdlife, including kingfishers, kererū, and tūī, which contribute to a peaceful environment.
Outdoor amenities comprise a pool accessible from the lowest-level sitting room and a floodlit tennis court, providing recreational opportunities within the private grounds. Several outdoor seating areas offer options for dining and relaxation in a quiet setting despite proximity to a busy road.
Real estate agent Richard Thode described 724B Remuera as an exceptional, well-maintained, and thoughtfully constructed home. He emphasized the property’s readiness for occupancy and the value it presents, noting the seller’s willingness to engage with the current market. The owner is downsizing and hopes the home will continue to serve a young family seeking a spacious and comfortable residence in a desirable Auckland location.
