Overview

Home, Land & Cafe all in one

A once in a generation opportunity in the heart of Lower Hutt, a heritage home, a thriving local cafe, and an exceptional section all rolled into one. Welcome to 49 Pretoria Street, one of Lower Hutt's most unique and versatile offerings. This rare property presents the chance to own a piece of history while shaping your future, offering not just a home, but a lifestyle, business, and incredible potential all in one. The charming heritage home features three bedrooms, one bathroom, and a grand living area that seamlessly flows into the dining and kitchen spaces, each thoughtfully designed to highlight the home's original character. High ceilings and timeless brickwork further enhance its appeal, while a spacious walk up attic offers excellent storage and versatility. This is a home with real soul, presenting an incredible opportunity to renovate and restore it to its former glory. Attached to the property is the beloved Sweet Vanilla Kitchen Cafe, a Lower Hutt favourite celebrated for its welcoming atmosphere and loyal local following. Formerly known as The Crescent Tea and Coffee Shop, this iconic spot has long been part of the community's fabric. The building only is for sale (business excluded); the new owner will take over the existing lease with the current tenant, which continues under its present terms pending any right of renewal being exercised. Set on a generous 714sqm (more or less) section, the property also offers exceptional potential to build or develop, subject to the necessary consents, in one of the city's most desirable central locations. The flat, untouched site next to the existing home provides endless possibilities to design and create a residence that perfectly reflects your vision. This is a truly unparalleled opportunity to secure a home, business, and landholding in one of the region's most tightly held locations. Whether you're drawn to its rich history, entrepreneurial potential, or development possibilities, this property represents one of the rarest and most exciting offerings to hit the Lower Hutt market in years. Deadline sale closes Wednesday, 3rd December 2025 at 1:00pm (unless sold prior).
