Completed in 1947^ and lovingly held by the same family throughout its life, this substantial weatherboard home is being offered for sale outside the family for the first time in almost eight decades. Thoughtfully renovated by architect Barbara Webster in 2005^, it retains the warmth and character of its 1940s^ origins while offering generous contemporary living and extraordinary sea and hillside views.
Across two levels are five bedrooms, two living areas, a study, two separate toilets and spectacular vistas. Downstairs offers its own generous living zone, while upstairs delivers the open-plan living and dining space that makes the most of the home's extraordinary outlook and all-year-round sun. This area opens to a large alfresco area to be enjoyed at both ends of the day.
Outside, the generous private site offers space, sunshine and potential. There is off-street parking for three cars, a garden shed and a substantial workshop that could become a home office, music room, art studio or whatever your lifestyle demands.
There is also plenty of scope to add value, with a plumbed study ready to become a second bathroom, alongside an abundant garden, including a particularly productive apple tree. Zoned for popular Seatoun School, the Breaker Bay coastal location offers a sense of getting away from it all, while still having all the amenities of the Miramar Peninsular close by and the city approx. 10 km^ away.
A much-loved family home. An exceptional position. A genuine piece of Breaker Bay history.
After 79 years, it's ready for its next family.
Tender closes 12pm, Thursday 15th October 2026 (will not be sold prior) at 8 Kent Terrace, Wellington
