A stately fireplace anchors the room, adding warmth and timeless style.

Downstairs, a generous guest suite beside the oversized double internal garage opens to its own quiet courtyard plus four off-street parks. This house also offers a series of multifunctional rooms ready for you to adapt to every lifestyle. Quiet, peaceful, and full of soul, this refined Remuera living in the heart of the Double Grammar Zone.
