International Lifestyle

Rarely does the opportunity present to secure an elegantly rebuilt square-fronted villa and garden of historical significance; let alone one securely located on a prestigious Remuera crest offering a peerless family lifestyle.

Originating from the 1880s, a rigorous rebuild was undertaken by the current owners and masterfully completed in 2018. Delving into centuries and cultures while embracing new-age technology, 37 Bell is a testament to the owner's sincere stewardship of a classic New Zealand character home.

A liberal environ is cleverly arranged with three beautiful bedrooms, three bathrooms, a library, and formal and open living, enjoying the north-facing botanical garden delicately landscaped for your serenity.

Behind every French door lies a telling space, whether it be the formal living with its lordly open fireplace or the kitchen and dining where a culinary extraordinaire will appreciate top-of-the-line Miele appliances. As a quiet European escape with fountains, sculptures, rock speakers, trellises, flower beds and a selection of trees with evening lighting, the four-seasons garden transports you to another time and place. There is even a gas-heated pool discretely built in.

The master suite features a bespoke dressing closet, an exquisite ensuite and a deck with a view of Mt Hobson. A teen, Au Pair, or visiting relatives are warmly accommodated with a private lower-level bedroom suite and multifunctional laundry with outdoor access.

Custom luxury is recognisable in the materials and craftsmanship, including marble bathrooms, granite benches, imported chandeliers, commissioned cornices, hand-picked wallcoverings, hidden audio, skylights, and reclaimed Kauri. The picture is complete with storage, gabled double garaging, and off-street parking behind automated gates.

Top and private schools are close and include Double Grammar education....
