DGZ Family Perfection on Benson

Auction: 34 Shortland Street, City on Wednesday 25 February 2026 at 10:00AM (unless sold prior)

Set proudly on one of Remuera’s most admired streets, this beautiful 1930’s character home is all about family. With strong street presence, a flat north-facing 759sqm site and a substantial 5-bedroom footprint of 383m2 (approx), this is a home which works for families small and large, children young and old, teenagers, grandparents.

At the centre of the home sits a large open plan kitchen, living and dining space, remodelled for easy everyday family living. Full-height doors open directly to expansive decking, a solar-heated pool and a generous stretch of lawn, giving children plenty of room to move while adults keep a watchful eye from the deck or the kitchen. A formal living room provides a quieter option, while the atrium-style hallway ensures light flows through the home throughout the day.

The bedroom configuration offers wonderful flexibility for families - upstairs, three generous bedrooms each have their own ensuite, along with a home office area that would equally suit a children’s TV zone or study space. The main bedroom offers extensive wardrobe storage and doors opening to a sunny balcony with views across the harbour to North Head, an easy place to slow the pace with a book and a cup of tea.

Back downstairs you’ll find two further bedrooms (one with ensuite, perfect for the grandparents) and a family bathroom. The large laundry completes the accommodation.

A double garage provides secure parking and excellent storage, while the location speaks for itself. Zoned for Double Grammar, you’ve got Benson Road shops and eateries, plus Little Rangitoto Reserve with its playground, just up the road. Orakei Basin’s only a few minutes’ walk, as is the train station.

This is a home that works for families of all ages and stages. Well-considered, generous and set up for easy living, 36 Benson Road offers a standard of space and location that is increasingly hard to secure in Remuera.
