French chic and Italian glamour combine here in this exquisitely remodeled residence. Circa 1910, only the most charming features of that era remain, as the home sits firmly in the 21st century. Classic lines, colonial windows, and cedar shingles define the age, but all else functions as a modern masterpiece.

Aesthetically pleasing at every turn, glossy black or white painted woodwork, imported wallpapers, French oak flooring, and Italian chandeliers, sit comfortably alongside hot water radiators, sleek bathrooms, (there are three) and state of the art Data and AV networks installed throughout.

This is a first-class renovation with precise attention to detail. The fire surround comes from The Loire Valley and the pretty French-style kitchen could be from a Chateau nearby! There is a selection of living and sleeping arrangements on both levels including a guest or master suite and a high-tech media room. Set on 915sqm, the house sits surrounded in an enchanting garden, a work of art in itself, arranged in a series of 'outdoor rooms', enclosed with clever hedging and linked by white wisteria draped archways.

Privacy and shelter are assured at every time of day delivering a host of entertaining possibilities. There is even a petanque court, or should we say boules! Our sellers have loved this location during their short time here in Merivale and with the underlying value of the excellent school zoning and proximity to private options. However, family, friends, and work commitments take them back to Auckland. A blessing in disguise for those looking for an exceptional family home before Christmas.
