Positioned in an unrivalled setting at the summit of the Cable Car, this substantial and tightly held residence enjoys one of Kelburn's most privileged addresses - just minutes above Lambton Quay, The Terrace, the CBD, and Victoria University.
Originally built for the esteemed Kirkcaldie family, the property has had only one additional owner and was thoughtfully modernised during the 1970s. The result is a home of impressive scale, flexibility, and enduring character.
Offering approximately 390m² of floor area, the versatile layout provides exceptional space for families, renovators, or those seeking to unlock future value. Currently configured as a comfortable home and income, it presents clear potential to modernise further or to restore it as a distinguished single residence. Alternatively, could accommodate extended family, nanny or carer, or potential consulting rooms/professional use.
Completing this rare offering is a feature seldom found in Kelburn - a large double garage with drive-on internal access, delivering exceptional convenience, security, and ease of living.
Set in a blue-chip location, this is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to secure a landmark property at the gateway to the city.
