Originally built for Ralph Worley in 1923, this beautifully proportioned Arts and Crafts home has long been recognized for the purity of its design and commanding presence.

In 2005 Robin O’Donnell Architects undertook an extensive modernization and enlargement. The result remains true to the original look and feel of the house, only much larger and better appointed for 21st century needs and lifestyle.

The quality and authenticity of this upgrading was recognized when the home won New Zealand Institute of Architects Resene New Zealand Award for Architecture in 2007.

You may well have admired the exterior of 27 Arney Road, but it is not until you enter the front hall that you really understand why it is so special. The proportions, the beams, the fireplace, the stairway, the polished floors … they all set the scene for what follows.

Formal and informal living spaces flow to the sunny outside terraces and balcony. A fabulous kitchen with casual dining and large french doors that open to, and look over, the valley and Mt Hobson views.

The master bedroom suite includes its own bathroom, sitting room and connecting sunroom. There are four additional bedrooms plus two full bathrooms. Service areas include a full laundry, four car garaging plus four off street parks.

But what makes this home just so special is the combination of authentic Arts & Crafts architecture in a practical, award-winning environment that matches the living needs of today.
