Commanding elevated views to the peak of Arney Road, across to Devonport, and out to beautiful Rangitoto Island.
Held in the family for many decades by one of Auckland’s most affectionately well-known mayors, Sir Dove-Myer Robinson, the home has since been upgraded extensively featuring all the modern conveniences for a busy growing family.
Located along the prestigious northern golden mile, often referred to as the ‘medical mile’ and adjacent to Auckland’s iconic Mt Hobson, the property is sheltered from the southerly winds while benefiting from the warmth and views from the north.
A short walk to Newmarket and an easy commute to motorway access. The position is very much favoured for being close to top schools such as St Michael’s, King’s Prep, and comfortably within Double Grammar Zone.
True to tradition, the charming weatherboard home was built in the 1930s and still retains many of its original features and hints of the art-deco era. Main living from street level, the home has a modern open-plan environment, taking full advantage of the sumptuous decks and views.
Now upgraded to exacting standards with a feature Poggenpohl kitchen of the highest specifications, featuring a Wolf gas top and sub-zero fridge/freezer. The bathrooms are designed by Leonie von Sturmer which indicates most of the hard work has already been done!
A gracious staircase leads to 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, including a separate study. The lower level has a self-contained area spilling out to the heated pool/spa which can be operated via your mobile phone.
