Description

Four generations of the Macdonald family have filled this majestic, 4 storey, 7 bedroom home with love and laughter for many years. Its grand, warm and welcoming, character-filled living areas echo with memories of fabulous parties and celebrated guests. Remember the 1980s smash hit tv series Gloss? Yes, this was the Redfern Mansion - it's a home fit for a dynasty. Designed by architect George Goldsbro and built in the 1880s, it was once surrounded by farmland. The original stables and the 'well' for the dairy shed, still stand in park-like, 4937 m2 grounds. Although the property is in heartland Remuera, it enjoys the utmost privacy down a very long drive, far from traffic noise.
When you stand in the beautiful timber panelled dining room with its exquisite inglenook fireplace and look out across the vast verandah to the harbour through canopies of magnificent trees, the estate feels so substantial, it's like you're in the country. Original interiors take you back in time. Tiled bathrooms feature period fittings and fireplaces keep almost every room cosy. High ceilings, curved bay windows, little nooks and built-in timber cabinetry add grace and charm. It's a home with a beautiful soul and you can't help but fall in love.
There's tons of space for a family to spread out. Several of the bedrooms are huge including lofty rooms on the 3rd level and the vast master suite below with its amazing, never-to-be-built-out views. Expansive gardens on a reserve are a sublime playground with amazing development potential. Capture the glory of another age in possibly the largest Remuera estate remaining today.
