Character, charm and elegance are just a few words to describe this very special home! The property is first time on the market since 1986, having only had two owners since it was built in 1922.
With uninterrupted 270 degree views across the harbour to Kelburn the property also boasts all day sun and it’s very own micro climate that is a magnate for Tui, wood pigeons and Kaka.
Combining a fabulous layout, spacious open plan living, three double bedrooms, a large modern kitchen, one and half bathrooms, a large private deck, an established low maintenance garden as well as drive on access and carport for two cars, this must truly be one of the best properties in Northland!
This property just exudes character and the beauty of yesteryear. Throughout the house there are original rimu doors, joinery, light fittings and lead light windows. Even the brass window latches are original. Here modern and character seamlessly combine to give the very best in living!

Enter the property via a short private path that meanders up to the house and short timber stairs to the front door. Enter into the front porch area where you will gain a sense of what is to come. A splash of green on the wooden floor and on the ceiling cleverly connects this room to the garden and magnificent pouhutaka trees just outside. Stunning lead light windows and two bi-fold windows provide intimate views over the city, harbour and botanical gardens. What a great spot to enjoy that glass of wine after a hard day at work - as you watch the lights of the city twinkle below.
Sundrenched until late, the deck is well protected from the northerly wind. With plenty of room for seating it is the perfect spot for entertaining friends or that family barbeque or maybe just stretching out with a book for the afternoon. The shades of green of the established trees in the garden provides the perfect backdrop. A couple of steps down - a few pavers take you through a pretty garden planted in azaleas, helleborus and anemones - to yet another area to sit in the shade of the trees and enjoy a slightly different view.
Enter from the porch through the front door into the hallway that connects the living space to the bedrooms. To the left is the formal lounge which flows into the second living/dining area which naturally flows out to the deck and to the kitchen. In the hallway two large cupboards provide storage for those necessary items like towels, vacuum cleaners etc.
The living space is open plan yet provides a choice of comfortable spaces to enjoy the crackle of the wood in the open fireplace or quiet spot to sit and read a book. The layout of the rooms provides plenty of space for alternating seating. Rimu shelves and an attractive built in cabinet provides a spot to display that special piece of china or art. Large windows in every room provide stunning views to the viaduct, The Glen and Kelburn. In the lounge the lead lights in the bay window sparkle as the sun pours through them. A rimu picture rail and window seat next to the dining table complete the package.
The dining space provides plenty of room for a table for those large family dinners or dinner parties. Practically designed, a tiled area next to the dining table opens to the door to the deck and in the other direction to the guest’s toilet, shower and a laundry.

To the rear of the house and next to the dining room is the contemporary kitchen.
A smart white bench top, white cabinets, stainless handles, double stainless sink, Roden hobb and extractor, Bosch wall oven, dishwasher and wastemaster combine to create this delightful kitchen. A Rheem gas hot water system provides plentiful hot water. A rimu trim connects the kitchen with the rest of the house. A breakfast bar provides alternative casual dining or space for the children to do their homework.
Oodles of sun and light pour in the window behind the bench which provides delightful vistas.
A door from the kitchen provides convenient access to the private patio and also the alterative access for family and friends visiting.
The three bedrooms are located to the right of the hall conveniently away from the noise of the living areas.
The main bedroom to the right from the front door is spacious and enjoys gorgeous vistas onto the garden and beyond and oodles of sun. There is a small built in wardrobe and plenty of space for furniture or seating. The second bedroom is also spacious with a European style foldaway beds. The third bedroom is to the rear and also enjoys delightful views out to the garden.
Next to the bedroom is the bathroom which continues the combination of character with the conveniences of modern living. A shower rose and tongue and groove on the top half of the walls combine with a pedestal basin, bath and stainless towel rail and smart black and white flooring creates a delightful and functional space. A built in cabinet and window to the garden complete the package.

The suburb of Northland
Northland is a relatively compact and sought after suburb nestled on the western hills just above the Botanical Gardens. Being just an easy twenty minute downhill walk, or five minute drive, to The Terrace and central city, well serviced by a kindergarten and schools, close to Victoria University and with a local shopping centre – it is very popular with professionals and families alike.
Many parts of Northland enjoy uninterrupted panoramic views of the city and harbour out to Eastbourne, the airport and Cook Strait. The suburb is surrounded by beautiful native bush and reserve land and can be truly appreciated from the Stellin Memorial Park lookout on Orangi Kaupapa Road. The views can also be appreciated from the Northern Walkway, one of the six major walkways in Wellington, which meanders through Northland onto Wadestown and eventually to Johnsonville.
Central to Northland’s community is the Northland Memorial Community Centre in Woburn Road, which offers a wide range of activities including; badminton, youth drop in centre, rock and roll, scouts, Moving to the Beat (for preschoolers), Ezee Meals, mahjong, creche, pilates, lions, book club, basket ball, after school care and more.
Northland is positioned just next to Kelburn with Karori to the west, and as such enjoys the benefits and services offered by both of these traditional and larger suburbs.
Just between Northland and the city are the Botanical Gardens.
Cable Car
The suburb of Kelburn
Kelburn sits in the dress circle, just above the city and next to the Botanical Gardens, an easy five minute drive from The Terrace and centre of Wellington. Built on the western hills the suburb offers panoramic views of the city and the ever changing harbour. There is a mixture of beautifully restored historic villas and newer housing integrated by lovely established gardens.
Kelburn is well serviced by a well appointed shopping centre, cafes, school, park and sports centre and is close to the Victoria University campus which is graciously spread over several hectares on the edge of the city.
The well appointed shopping centre includes several cafes and restaurants, gift shop, dairy, fruit and video shop, beautician and fashion shop.
Just a brief distance from the shopping centre is the historic Wellington Cable Car which runs every ten minutes to Lambton Quay. The Cable Car was built over a four year period from 1898 utilising prison labour from the Terrace Gaol. From 1902 it was used as a means of transport to the farmland in Kelburn. City workers often come up to Kelburn in the Cable Car from the city and wander to one of the cafes for a leisurely lunch.
Just on the edge of Kelburn are the Botanical Gardens. Established in 1868 the gardens feature 25 hectares of unique landscape, protected native forest, conifers, specialised plant collections and stunning views over Wellington. There is a regular programme of summer events and concerts, and the cafe, located in the rose garden, is open most days.
Bus serviceAll three suburbs are well serviced by the public bus service with buses running regularly to and from the city.
SchoolsNorthland is zoned for Northland School, Karori for Karori Normal School and Kelburn for Kelburn Normal School.
Samuel Marsden Collegiate School is a private girls school and the only high school in the area.
Northland, Kelburn and Karori are all zoned for Wellington College and Wellington Girls’ College.
