After being in one family's ownership since 1899, this gorgeous cottage is now offered for public sale for only the third time in its long history. Likely built in the 1860's - and possibly one of Wellington's oldest houses - this Thorndon 'Notable Home' comprises three rooms - an open plan kitchen and living space, a double bedroom, and an outdoor laundry and bathroom.
Extensive renovations over the years have encompassed modernised foundations, wiring, and plumbing, whilst more recently wall insulation was added along with a number of minor maintenance items completed.
A high-quality kitchen and bathroom recently installed really finishes things off and ensures there should be no big jobs on the horizon for the lucky new owner.
This is a fabulous location right in the heart of the Thorndon Character Area, directly opposite Premier House and a minutes' walk from the Tinakori Shopping Precinct.
This property is within walking distance to the CBD, with a supermarket and the motorway North both nearby. The size of the house is perfect for Air BnB, but it could also be an ideal city bolt hole, or a permanent home for one or two people.
With a loft area for storage or occasional guest accommodation, the property has plenty enough space for daily living, with a neat and tidy courtyard area just out the back door.
The house is clearly visible in paintings of early Wellington dating back as far as the 1880's and has been a point of interest for walking tours and history buffs for many years.
