This home was designed for ultimate family living · 18 Waiatarua Road · Ari Starr

Picture yourself living in an urban oasis - a 1,350 sqm retreat from the modern world. Versatile, stylish and securely tucked away in the heartland of Remuera, the ingredients are in place for the ultimate family lifestyle home to call your own.

As you arrive, you'll notice how it captures the natural flow of daily life. Designed for both everyday living and entertaining, with plenty of space in a serene setting. Elevated and sun-soaked, the extensive split-level floor plan has a flexible and convenient feel, enhanced by the easy flow between the multiple living areas.

Honey-coloured hardwood floors grace the upper levels where the heart of the home sits, the ultra-modern kitchen and custom island- with its open concept floor plan reaching through the dining and living room - making it ideal for gatherings. What's more, you can walk straight onto the sun-kissed deck overlooking your backyard sanctuary to relax and unwind with friends and family.

Moving downstairs, you'll find that each family member will have plenty of room and privacy for themselves. The bonus here is the second living area with direct outdoor access to your backyard sanctuary, a north-facing paradise with the dazzling allure of your own swimming pool and a private slice of native woodlands on the northern slopes of Remuera.

The best part is your location. Meadowbank School is just a few steps away while the train station, shops, SH1 and Selwyn College are all within a few minutes' drive. Plus you have access to the scenic Orakei Bay walkway with exceptional Auckland views and the Orakei Bay Village with great cafes and boutiques is a short walk away.
