About this property
Tucked away in the heart of historic Thorndon on a huge section, "The Moorings" is an extraordinarily original historic and nautically themed villa that offers the ultimate canvas for its first new owner in 60+ years. This is not a project to take on lightly, but rarely, if ever, does the chance arise to buy such a vintage Edwardian mansion this rich in history this close to the CBD. Features include:- 465sqm^ of breathtaking architectural grandeur ripe for restoration or renovation, complete with seven double-bedrooms, two big lounges, a supersized sunroom, and a massive double-height ball room
- Astonishingly original - a largely untouched showcase of native timbers, burr panelling, exposed sarking, faded wallpapers, stenciled cornices, Florentine glass, tiled fireplaces, porthole windows... even a coal range and antique radiators that just needs a new boiler
- Elevated east-west aspect for brilliant sun and fantastic views of the city and harbour on one side, Tinakori Hills on the other, and the botanical gardens (almost your second backyard!)
- Incredible storage, with not one but two basements plus an attic
- 1307sqm^ haven of tranquility, fruit trees, magnolias and natives - with plenty of space to harvest your own edibles
- Parking for two cars virtually at the front door, just a short stroll from Tinakori Village, Parliament and the CBD, and close to the motorway for easy access in and out of Wellington
- Offers Invited Upwards of $1,800,000
For a private viewing serious buyers should call Chris on 021499350
Original historic homes of this scale and scope, with so much land and sun, are all but impossible to find, let alone buy. Make no mistake, this is in need of significant restoration, but it represents a monumental opportunity... that you may never see again. View Sunday to avoid missing out. (^Source: Property Guru)
