86 Upland Road Remuera, Auckland City

Situated since 1915 on one of Remuera's most prestigious streets, this character Double Grammar Zone dame awaits a touch of tender loving care to freshen and revive her mellowing circumstances. Still displaying the original native timber floors and archetypal high stud. Elegantly proportioned and with a versatile ground floor layout offering a range of options, this would be a worthwhile refurbishment for family buyers also wanting Double Grammar and Meadowbank School zone.

Set on the north facing slope and covering a generous 784 sqm site, the approach from the road is down a meandering garden path to arrive at the front door. The two-storey stucco 211 sqm (approx.) home has an in-ground swimming pool in the back yard and is surrounded by established gardens and lush lawns. A dining room is big enough for dinner parties and sits alongside a serviceable kitchen that would be worthy of a renovation - especially in this blue-ribbon location. Three double bedrooms share a bathroom while stairs descend to the basement where a series of multipurpose utility rooms present a variety of options.

In a pivotal location with the choice of the Benson crossroads for a café catchup or up the hill at Remuera Village shops, the Little Rangitoto Reserve is across the road to give the kids and dog a run. Handy for a range of transport whether by train, bus, or on the motorway to commute to the city and handy also to take the Orakei Basin loop for a cardio workout.
