About this property
There is an immediate warmth to this cottage, with its character carried through the renovation rather than polished away. Warm timber flooring, large sash windows and generous natural light give the interiors a sense of space and ease, while the proportions feel surprisingly generous for such an easy-care home. Freehold and simple to maintain, it offers much of the convenience people look for in an apartment without giving up the independence and personality of a house. To the rear, a carefully curated courtyard provides a private place to sit outside, particularly appealing through the sun-drenched summer months. The result is a home with genuine character that is also remarkably easy to own, lock up and leave, or simply move into and enjoy. Four bedrooms give the plan more flexibility than the footprint suggests. For an owner reducing the size of their home, there is still room for family to stay without taking on more house than they need. For a professional buyer, it makes a credible Wellington pied à terre, close enough to Parliament, the ministries and the central city to walk to all of them. Thorndon Quay and Hobson Street are two minutes away on foot. New World is close at hand, Molesworth Street and Parliament are a short walk, and the Wellington CBD is comfortably within reach. Sky Stadium is nearby too, making the location particularly easy for anyone wanting to live close to work, the city and Wellington's major events without relying on the car. A single garage with additional off-street parking completes the practical side of the property, a meaningful advantage this close to central Wellington.
