0 Victoria Avenue, Remuera, Auckland City, Auckland

This restored character villa embraces provincial serenity to offer something truly iconic in lifestyle living.

Privacy and discretion are a welcomed luxury being set down a tree-lined right-of-way in a privileged, elevated Victoria Avenue location. It's living as you wish it with a position close to the coast, city and a short stroll to village cafes, restaurants, and boutiques.

Originating from the era of elegance - the 1900s - the architectural character has been beautifully preserved in earlier renovations. Courtesy of these sensitive modernisations, this villa is now a hybrid classic that corresponds to its 1598m2 landscaped grounds and landmark vistas.

Behind a secure gate and beyond the front door, towering ornate ceilings, decorative archways and leadlight windows show reverence to the home's history, while the significant house plan places emphasis on quality entertaining and quiet seclusion.

The grand living, dining and state-of-the-art kitchen featuring a scullery enjoy seamless connection and can easily lead any party outdoors. Ideal for teens, the ground floor media room has perfect separation and opens to the lower gardens.

The turret room is the villa's crown to view the 360-degree tapestry reaching over land, water, and city. The banquet of the senses continues below, where English-country gardens reflect the home's grandeur with a pool, clipped lawns for children to play, and an outdoor pizza oven and BBQ servery for the ultimate in alfresco dining.

Among the three pristine bathrooms and five bedrooms is the master suite, complete with a sun lounge and luxurious ensuite.

Uncompromised in finish, amenities include a climate-controlled wine cellar, double garaging, UV and heat- treated glazing, ducted heating and cooling, integrated security and audio systems, and many more highlights.

Elite education at Saint Kentigern's Boys and Girls School and Victoria Avenue Primary are within walking range, and double grammar schooling is another reward.
