59 Arney Road is a striking three-level executive home with an innovative exterior featuring concrete fins.
It was designed by Patterson and Associates, the award-winning architecture firm behind the Len Lye Centre in New Plymouth.
Although built around 15 years ago, it still presents as a new build, impressing visitors from first sight. The house, which sits on a 1528sqm corner site, has a towering atrium with textured stone walls, the first of many breathtaking spaces.
The Poggenpohl kitchen is large even by luxury home standards; the marble bench top is seemingly endless and everything is perfectly positioned for entertaining.

The fixtures and fittings, including limestone floors, are glamorous yet utterly classic in look and feel, and are likely to still be so in another 20 years.
A conservatory-like dining area sits in front of the kitchen while a wine alcove – as opposed to a cellar – is just off the hallway at its rear.

A step-down living area with a mid-century vibe is comfortable and cosy while family living at the opposite end of the space has a Cape Cod sense of gracious airiness.
A home office with lush garden views is also situated on the lower level, along with a guest bedroom complete with ensuite. The second floor sports three bedrooms, one with an ensuite while another has use of the smart family bathroom.
A wide hallway along the floor breaks out into casual living nooks and the master suite comes with copious wardrobe space, a “his and hers” bathroom and a balcony with views across Remuera towards the harbour.
The grounds are equally impressive.

The corner of the main living space opens up to large outdoor areas around the pool that have been designed for rest and recreation.
These resort-style amenities are set in sub-tropical gardens, but there’s plenty of level lawn space too.
Graham Wall, of Wall Real Estate, who is marketing the property with son Andrew, says that selling real estate at this multi-million-dollar level often comes down to word of mouth.

As and when tightly held properties come to market, he alerts previous buyers or sellers on his files who are looking for something exceptional.
He confirms that something of this incredible quality is often sought but rarely found, adding that – unsurprisingly – there has already been intense interest in the property, which lies just a few minutes from Remuera Village.
“It might be 15 years old but if you were designing and building this property again today, I don’t think you’d do a single thing at all any differently – Andrew Patterson is such a wonderful architect,” Wall says.
59 Arney Road in Remuera, Auckland is for sale via negotiation.
