This much-loved family home was designed by prominent architects Neville Burren and Reg Stapleton in 1964 and retains all its authentic features and fabulous mid-century touches. It has the typical low-slung profile of the era, with enormous picture windows prominently and purposefully designed for incredible views. You'll stand transfixed in the living room taking in the vista over urban Kelburn to the harbour, then right up the Hutt Valley to the Tararua and Remutaka Ranges. The stunning original Takaka marble fireplace and feature wall, the nifty kitchen hatch and the beautifully preserved original timber work including the dining room divider will all delight you.

The kitchen has had a part-upgrade but it's all in keeping with its 1960s heritage. There's plenty of potential here. On the upper level you have four bedrooms (two large, two small) and two bathrooms. Perhaps you might create an ensuite and walk-in-wardrobe? French doors out to the sunny front yard? But it's downstairs (past the gorgeous wooden spindles and handsome railings) where you can let your imagination and creativity go to work. Once a bedroom, office and storage room for our family, these have been pared down to the basics. You could transform this space to a new master suite, a second living area, work-from-home space or hobby room.

A huge bonus for Kelburn is the side-by-side single garages, set back, dry and with power, to ensure your tools and toys stay safe and secure.

In zone for Kelburn Primary, Wellington College and Wellington Girls' College it's also an easy bus commute to the CBD and Victoria University. Our late owner would walk every day to his work near the Beehive through the Botanic Gardens - now there's mountain biking and walking trails all over the area. Overlooking Zealandia the native birdlife is a joy and Kelburn Village with its cafes, pubs and shops is about a 20 minute stroll.

Being an estate sale, the family, whilst sad to see it go after 47 loving years, are now ready to pass it on to new owners and will be excited to see what might transpire. Will you be the custodian of this home in the decades to come?
