Remuera Character with Pool

Auction: 34 Shortland Street, City on Wednesday 22 October 2025 at 10:00AM (unless sold prior)

Large family homes on over 1,100m² of land in Remuera are increasingly rare, and this renovated arts-and-crafts classic stands out.

On the north side of Mainston Road, the home’s striking weatherboard façade opens to a broad hallway with sweeping staircase. Light-filled living spaces include an informal lounge that opens to the front garden, a modern kitchen with scullery, and a dining area that flows to a covered northern deck – the perfect spot to watch over the pool below. A second formal lounge completes the hub of family living.

Accommodation includes five bedrooms, two with ensuites, plus a downstairs rumpus/6th bedroom with ensuite and utility room – ideal for extended family or Airbnb. A study nook, refreshed laundry, powder room and internal-access double garage round out the home.

Outdoors, the pool and spa are framed by generous decking, with steps down to a lawn for play or relaxation.

Located in a sought-after no-exit street, walking distance to Upland Road cafés and shops, with Remuera Primary, Intermediate and Selwyn College zoning, this is a superb family home of size, character and convenience.
