Property details

Listing # L37262190 | Listed on 10 September

Rich in character and beautifully maintained, this substantial three-level residence is wonderfully spacious and designed for family life. Bathed in natural light, it commands sweeping views that stretch across the harbour, Wellington Botanic Garden and towards the Remutaka Range, while its elevated setting surrounded by native bush creates an exceptional sense of peace and privacy.

Adding an extraordinary dimension, the property is held across three separate freehold titles covering over 1,800m2. Enjoyed together, they create an exceptionally generous private retreat. Considered individually, there is the flexibility to enjoy the land as one magnificent property, explore future development or hold it for the years ahead. An unbelievable opportunity for discerning buyers.

Features include:

  • Elegant circa-1915 character home showcasing native timber joinery, matai flooring, stained-glass windows and a magnificent central staircase
  • Expansive open-plan kitchen and dining area with two separate living spaces designed to capture the home's exceptional light and outlook
  • French doors open wide to the courtyard and lawns beyond, extending the living spaces into the grounds
  • Entertainer's kitchen with a substantial island and walk-in pantry/scullery
  • Five generous bedrooms with excellent storage, plus a dedicated study
  • Three full bathrooms and a separate laundry
  • Large, sun-filled courtyard and level lawn, perfect for children, pets, entertaining and everything from summer barbeques to backyard cricket
  • Private, fully fenced spa area framed by established greenery with abundant native birdlife
  • Two garages and private cable-car access providing a distinctive and easy journey up to the house
  • Captivating harbour, Botanic Garden and sunrise views, with excellent sun and remarkable privacy
  • Walking distance from CBD and close to frequent bus routes
  • Conveniently positioned for sought-after schooling, zoned for Kelburn Normal School, Northland School, Wellington College and Wellington Girls' College

Holdings combining this level of character, privacy, land and outlook so close to central Wellington are exceptionally rare. Whether enjoyed as a remarkable family sanctuary or held for the possibilities offered by its three titles, this is a property with enduring appeal and genuine flexibility for the future. Call Jane or Tom today to arrange your private viewing.

Tender closes 3pm Wednesday 7th October 2026 at Tommy's Real Estate Limited, 209 Victoria Street, Te Aro, Wellington. (Vendor reserves the right sell prior)
