A hidden Māori Hill sanctuary

This exceptional property represents a rare opportunity to secure an architecturally designed character home that beautifully blends historic craftsmanship with contemporary comfort. Set back along a private drive and surrounded by established gardens and native bush, 26 & 26A Grendon Street offer a true sanctuary of privacy and calm in one of Māori Hill’s most tightly held neighbourhoods.

Originally designed by Salmond and Salmond, with later enhancements by Mason and Wales, the home showcases an enduring elegance and thoughtful design that allows the spaces to unfold effortlessly. French doors from both main living rooms open to outdoor dining areas, creating a natural and intuitive flow between the interiors and the landscaped gardens - a home designed to be lived in and enjoyed across all seasons.

At the centre of the home, generous open-plan living and dining spaces are anchored by a well-appointed, updated kitchen and warmed by an Oamaru stone fireplace with a living flame gas fire. French doors extend this space onto a wrap-around clay-tiled patio, making entertaining effortless and encouraging long summer evenings spent outdoors, framed by mature plantings and excellent sun.

A substantial separate main lounge offers both refinement and flexibility. Centred around an elegant Oamaru stone fireplace with an Escea living flame gas fire, this room is perfectly proportioned for formal entertaining, relaxed family time, or quiet retreat. Large enough to accommodate a baby grand piano, the space opens directly to the patio and gardens, allowing gatherings to flow easily outdoors while still retaining a sense of intimacy and warmth.

The home provides four well-proportioned double bedrooms, all with built-in wardrobes. The ground-floor master suite forms a peaceful retreat, complete with garden outlooks, a walk-in robe, and a beautifully finished ensuite with underfloor heating. Upstairs, three light-filled double bedrooms feature built-in wardrobes and drawers crafted from rimu, and are serviced by a family bathroom and separate toilet - ideal for the rhythm of family life.

Throughout the original home, rich rimu timber floors add warmth and character, while modern comforts are thoughtfully incorporated, including three heat pumps alongside the two gas fireplaces, ensuring year-round comfort.

Practicality is well catered for with a wine cellar, generous laundry, and extensive under-house storage, providing excellent functionality without compromising the home’s refined character.

Outdoors, the dual titles span approximately 1,765sqm, revealing a series of beautifully established garden spaces designed for both enjoyment and ease. Expansive decking, secluded arbours, and bluestone terraces create multiple zones for entertaining and relaxation, while winding garden paths lead through mature plantings down to a private bush walk. Bathed in sunlight and rich with birdlife, the grounds offer a sense of escape rarely found so close to the city.

Rarely does a home combine architectural pedigree, space, privacy, and versatility so seamlessly in such a coveted Māori Hill setting. Spread across two titles and thoughtfully designed to adapt to modern family living, 26 & 26A Grendon Street is a timeless sanctuary - a place to settle in, spread out, and create lasting memories.
