171 Remuera Road, Remuera
More than an impressive vista
Facing due north on the crest of Mt Hobson, the prominent position is a sanctuary to a select few high-profile residences.
Mount Hobson has a wonderful history and is one of Remuera’s bestkept secrets, home to local dog walkers, early morning joggers, and evening strollers who enjoy the romantic sunsets.
Purchased by the Crown in 1841, a handful of building sites were created adjacent to Remuera Road. By the turn of the century, prominent families and architects designed and built the magnificent group of homes we see perched high on the mountainside today.
The address will be very sought after. The central location to Remuera shopping centre is a flat walk passing Kings Preparatory School and to the west, a short stroll to vibrant Newmarket and Westfield shopping plaza. The property is on the medical-mile and 800 metres away from St Marks motorway onramp, and the walk or commute to top private schools and both grammar schools is convenient.
The integrity of the large 4-bedroom Spanish Mission home is unspoiled. The exterior is built of double brick with a cavity which is a rarity and proof of a well-constructed build. Below the 2-level house is a full basement which provides for future expansion.
The floor plan is clearly designed to incorporate the mesmerizing views from each room, including access to the rooftop if you really want to impress your guests.
The family home is made up of generous-sized rooms, all well
balanced with a high stud displaying many built-in decorative features such as arches, fireplace surrounds, built-in window seating, and magnificent leadlight feature windows.
This is 1920’s glamour in all respects and the cherished home of over 50 years deserves a family who understands the characteristics of this architectural masterpiece.
