Set on an incredibly private, sheltered and sunny half-acre flat section stands this beautifully renovated (Parsonson Architects) 1950’s
Cape Cod style property. With an in ground heated swimming pool, full sized tennis court, triple garaging with a guest house above –
Is this Wellington's best home?

Most people don’t even know that this property exists, as it has been tightly held for many years, and was last publicly for sale over 30 years ago. Originally designed by Helmore and Cotterill architects in 1950, for a prominent local lawyer and politician, it has been extensively renovated and extended under the eye of multi award winning architect, Gerald Parsonson.

The main home consists of a grand entrance way, with sweeping staircase to the bedrooms upstairs. There is an abundance of living spaces, with a huge open plan kitchen with casual living and dining – all opening out to the flat lawn and outside entertaining areas. A separate dining room leads to the library with built in shelving and desk. The formal living room is both spacious and intimate, with an open fireplace and plenty of wall space for your special pieces of art. Off the kitchen, hidden away in the basement, is a large laundry and utility room with heated floor tiles, plenty of storage and additional fridge and freezer. Extending to a cavernous wine cellar with shelving for over 1500 bottles and plenty of space for a tasting table with its own external entrance.

Up stairs are the 5 double bedrooms, including a massive master suite with luxurious walk in wardrobe, access to its own balcony and
a large ensuite bathroom. The family bathroom is cleverly split into 3 rooms, with a separate bathroom, shower room and toilet. Outside the house really comes into its element. Both the living rooms open out onto and expansive flat lawn, that leads to the astro
turf tennis court, heated swimming pool, spa pool and stunning outdoor fire and BBQ are that has a built in covered table with heated
concrete seats and covered entertaining area.

With electric gates on the driveway, the property is fully fenced and secure and has an extensive security and camera system. There is a separate 3 car garage, which incorporates a heat controlled art storage room as well as plenty of additional storage cupboards and
bike racks.

To complete this incredible home, there is a guest house above the garage with its own full bathroom, kitchenette and balcony that
looks out over the tennis court – perfect for guests, staff or as a games room.
