— Intro A prominent west face of mirrored glass reflects the mood of the skies above, leaving visitors under no illusion that this house offers a serious statement in design. The street appeal is distinctive & intriguing you will love living here. Set in one of Auckland’s finest suburbs, this Noel Lane architectural creation is seated prominently in an elevated north-west facing location situated at 7 Spencer St, Remuera (just off the ridge from Victoria Avenue). Originally constructed during the 1980s & known as Plimmer House the current owners involved Noel again in 2008 to further alter & enhance the home. Internally the easy floor plan works exceptionally well. The basement level features generous garaging with easy access to the lift, a wine cellar and storage areas. With a striking sense of arrival you’ll love the soaring roof, as you take in a sculpture-like mix of materials. Floating above is a bridge at mezzanine level, which separates the master suite from the other bedrooms. The mid-level provides a connection from entry to study & multiple living areas, which flows seamlessly to the north poolside area, whilst each room still retains its individual sense of space. With the multiple living areas, a sunken lounge, feature dining atrium & separate open plan kitchen & additional informal living & dining areas, along with a separate laundry the house provides great family function. The upper level provides a bedroom layout, which ensures the kids have their privacy & the master is quite separate, so the adults have theirs too. This property will be, for some, the ideal solution you have been looking for in a market starved of uniqueness & less ordinary designed homes. A really significant piece of art to live in & love.
