99 Market Road Epsom, Auckland City

Seemingly hewn out of the volcanic stone at the foot of Mt St John, rises this remarkable home. Once a humble, brick & tile home, now transformed into a modernist masterpiece of solid construction by renown architects Fearon Hay.

A gated entrance leads to off street carparking & double garage! A walk up a series of plateaus, a colonnade of clipped olive trees one side & a sheer vertical graphite coloured wall the other. Aromatic, boxed bay, regimentally clipped to perfect height guide you towards towering roman numerals IXIX mounted on the wall like art. You are home.

Enter a sanctuary with large open plan living spaces & two-level accommodation. Five bedrooms, two up & three down plus three separate living spaces providing excellent separation & retreat zones. The master suite upstairs occupies its own quarter including; a generous walk-in wardrobe, ensuite & a second double bedroom with its own stunning bathroom. These are accessed through a corridor/library nicely separating them from the rest of the house. The house is solid, silent & secure & has been recently recarpeted & repainted.

The sunny kitchen sits between living areas with a long study bench or breakfast bar. The formal lounge & dining area includes a central gas fireplace, and an entire wall of glass doors opens onto a magnificent sheltered, stone-walled courtyard, excellent for private alfresco dining.

There's a totally lockable, separate downstairs area with 3 double bedrooms, kitchenette, and living & own private courtyard. Perfect for an Au pair, parents, teenage retreat or work from home options.

This magnificent home occupies a 677m2 (more or less) freehold site, located in DGZ, a short walk to St Cuthberts & the Remuera train station. Handy to Newmarket shopping, Auckland hospital, Cornwall park & the entrance to Mt St John is two doors down. This super central location will ensure you spend more time at home & as little in your car as necessary. Be quick to see this "sure to please" gorgeous family home today.
