Perfect Harmony of Home and Environmen­t Lock up and Leave

-

30 Westbourne Road, Remuera In order to understand the feeling that architect Leo van Veenendaal has achieved in this unique property, you have to visit it. From the moment you enter a sense of peace and calm surrounds you. The home has been designed with flexible use in mind. Ideal as a home for smaller families, with excellent separation of areas; a home with office areas; a home with great spaces for visitors to come and stay without interrupti­ng your everyday way of life.

The top floor master suite consists of a large bedroom with a balcony, dressing room, bathroom plus study or sitting room. The views are magical, and the sun and light wonderfull­y dappled.

The entry level has a main foyer which provides peeps of the rooms and views beyond. The kitchen adjoins the family sitting room, which has windows on three sides and decks to the north. There are also two other rooms that can be used as a dining room or another sitting room, a study, office or fourth bedroom. A guest’s bathroom, laundry and double garage. Below, there is another living room or library, two more bedrooms, another study plus two bathrooms.

The quality of build is evident everywhere you look - brick and copper cladding, copper spouting and downpipes, wooden joinery and shutters. A low maintenanc­e lock up and leave. We have never before experience­d anything like it.
