PHOTO: HARCOURTS Designed in 1964, this Mid-century house in Titirangi is in near-original condition, and is on the market for the first time.
Felicia, 91, is selling the family home in Titirangi she has lived in since it was new, and it must a wrench.
Her house, in original condition, is a perfect Mid-century time capsule from 1964, when it would have been considered quite avant-garde. And it’s not surprising listing agents Scott Larsen and Fiona Ryan of Harcourts Glen Eden call it “Auckland’s hottest do-up”.
Designed by Felicia herself, the house features a split roofline – the two separate roofs rise above a central portico on the upper level, where all the walls feature floor-to-ceiling glass with white-painted timber joinery. It’s a dramatic entry to the house, and serves to fill the living room and master bedroom with lots of natural light.
Large triangles of glass also appear at the top of each of those rooms helping to give the impression that the roof “floats” above. The raked ceilings in the living area and bedrooms on the upper level all feature exposed timber beams, and timber lines a wall within the living room.
