The penthouse, with its unique floorplate, takes the stratahouse to new heights. The entrance gallery features a fabulous sculpture garden; the living and entertaining areas are more spectacular; the terrace is even more impressive; a stunning annexe replaces the play space. The stud is higher; the kitchen has a jaw dropping glazed roof…
An intimate dining space sits in a slight recess, complemented by a beautifully crafted display cabinet and its own casual seating area. The open-flame fireplace anchors the main seating area, while the full-width terrace beyond is the perfect setting for alfresco dining.
Another standout is the five-metre kitchen island, with its marble bench and front fascia. The same marble features on the splashback behind. The complement of the latest Gaggenau appliances will bring joy to enthusiastic cooks. There is also a fully equipped scullery tucked neatly out sight while remaining easily accessible.
The views from the penthouse are breathtaking. In the foreground lie the iconic grand homes and showpiece gardens of Remuera’s Northern Slopes. In the distance you look to the Waitemata Harbour, with Rangitoto standing guardian.
The penthouse features three bedrooms, all of which are ensuite, plus a laundry room and two storage rooms.
There is also a spacious annexe, which overlooks Remuera Road. It has a well-equipped kitchenette and a generous dining and sitting area, making it ideal for more private entertaining. There is a further room that might be used as a gym or professional-level home office, along with another storage room.
The annexe has the flexibility to be used for different purposes over time, e.g. guest wing, teenagers’ hangout, or accommodation for live-in help.
