Glen Esk Place claims a fortunate position, within minutes from Newmarket and neighbouring the grand homes on Arney and Bassett Roads.
It’s little wonder then that 6B Glen Esk Place in Remuera, Auckland, has not been on the market for more than 20 years. Certainly, these apartments are tightly held, and for good reason.
Once inside the dwelling, there’s absolutely no doubt as to why residents have stayed there for as long as they have.
Far from your standard apartment, liberal spaces and solid joinery define this home, along with views that stretch to Rangitoto.

The apartments’ focus on light, space and good design, is apparent from the instant you see the building. Perfectly manicured hedges and Cypress trees along with tall and imposing glass in timber frames front the building.
The windows stretch from floor to ceiling permitting all-day sun and an outlook Remuera’s northern slopes are renowned for.
Apartment 6B, which has a CV of $2.65 million, is for sale and heading to auction at 2pm tomorrow on September 20. According to OneRoof data, the apartment last changed hands in 2003 for $1.006m.
Ray White agents Steve and Nila Koerber are marketing the apartment.
Steve Koerber says: “The position is superb, tucked away off the main road and within the ridge line. Mt Hobson is across the road and Newmarket and the motorway is minutes away, but you wouldn’t know it. It’s just an incredible spot and a beautifully designed home.”
Apartment 6B offers three generous bedrooms, two living areas and two covered balconies, allowing the owners to enjoy the space seldom found in apartments.
Incorporating an entire floor of the solid concrete building, the 195sqm apartment features American oak flooring and solid timber joinery throughout, giving the home a very real sense of strength and enduring character.
The master bedroom is a stunning space, incorporating a walk-in wardrobe, an ensuite and the elevated home’s views over Remuera and to Auckland’s islands, making it a spacious retreat in an extraordinary home.
The two remaining bedrooms offer liberal space for guests, alternatively they have the potential to be an office or library.
The large and open kitchen joins one of the living areas which is the ideal spot to entertain. The space extends out to one of two balconies, the second being a central and sheltered loggia sided by shutters for added privacy.
The residence comes with two car parks and is accessed through a lift that takes you to your private foyer.
“The apartment is a great space with brilliant accessibility and security. It’s just a lovely apartment that’s very easy to live in. The cul-de-sac is quiet but so close to everything. The location is outstanding,” says the owner’s son.
