This gracious home has nurtured four generations of the family who offer it for sale, and who say they can think of no better place to spend a childhood. It comes with an architectural pedigree and so many reasons to make it part of your own family history.

North and west facing, the property nestles on an elevated area of its enviable site, capturing sensational sea views and year round sunshine. Mature native and fruit trees, terraced gardens and grassed areas flow down to the beach via a bush walk. A flat, waterfront area presents the perfect spot for a boat shed or further accommodation (subject to council permission). A 1000sqm area of ‘jungle’ is so named by those who have grown up playing in their very own bush zone.

The original part of the home was designed by eminent architect of the era Gray Young, with exquisite ground floor spaces enhanced by generous scale, a high stud, expansive windows and subtly decorative detail. Matai and Rimu joinery remains throughout and storage is way more generous than in many modern homes.

The 1970s upstairs addition, also architect designed, extended the interior to offer five bedrooms, three living rooms, a study and two bathrooms. Self-contained accommodation above the garage adds a further bedroom, living room, kitchen and bathroom. Also with a gorgeous view, the flat is perfect for your guests or as a rental property.

The beach is moments away and shops, cafes, parks, schools and bush walking tracks are all nearby. Access to the wider Hutt Valley and Wellington is excellent.


This fantastic home is sure to delight your entire family, and it has potential for your own stamp, too. If ‘something special’ is on your wish list contact me today and take the first step to making this family paradise your own.
