Historic Elegance, Iconic Prestige
Designed in 1926 by renowned architect William Gummer as his own family home, this exceptional estate seamlessly blends timeless character, grand proportions, and modern comfort.
Constructed in solid double brick and occupying a commanding position opposite Auckland Grammar School, the home offers a rare combination of architectural pedigree, family functionality, and blue-chip location. Rich timber detailing, soaring ceilings, elegant formal spaces, and beautifully preserved period features reflect the craftsmanship of a bygone era, while carefully curated upgrades enhance everyday living without compromising the home's heritage.
The home
Spanning multiple levels, the versatile floor plan caters effortlessly to large and extended families. Formal and informal living areas, generous accommodation, self-contained guest quarters, and multiple entertaining spaces provide flexibility for every stage of life. The beautifully appointed kitchen, butler's pantry, bar, and service areas create a sophisticated setting for both intimate family living and large-scale entertaining.
Outside, established grounds provide a private sanctuary rarely found this close to the city. Children can play safely on the manicured lawns beneath mature trees, while the loggia and outdoor entertaining areas offer a tranquil retreat for year-round enjoyment. For those seeking additional luxury, the rear grounds provide potential for a future swimming pool.
A truly special feature is the rooftop terrace, where elevated views stretch across the surrounding cityscape towards the iconic Sky Tower. Whether enjoying a morning coffee, evening aperitif, or entertaining guests, this unique vantage point offers a perspective few homes can match.
Positioned minutes from Newmarket, Parnell, Mt Eden, and Auckland CBD, and surrounded by some of Auckland's most prestigious homes, Stoneways enjoys one of the city's most tightly held addresses. Opportunities to secure a residence of this calibre, history, and architectural significance are exceptionally rare.
