Built in 1883 as Wesley Church, this Petone landmark has been transformed into three two storey residences, and this is the largest. Privately set within a gated community, it is offered for the first time since 2019.
The original facade and roofline have been restored in collaboration with Heritage New Zealand, while repurposed double glazed leadlight windows and double height spaces bring real architectural presence.
The ground floor offers spacious open plan living and dining, with a large ranch slider opening to a private, fully fenced courtyard. Beautifully landscaped for easy maintenance and summer BBQ entertaining, it enjoys sun from morning to late afternoon. A bathroom sits just off the living area, while the laundry is neatly concealed under the stairs alongside ample storage.
Upstairs are three well proportioned bedrooms, including a generous master with walk-in wardrobe and ensuite. The family bathroom has both bath and shower, and all bathrooms enjoy underfloor heating.
Double glazing, gas radiators throughout and gas hot water provide all year round comfort. A large single garage with a gated drive on access adds secure parking and storage.
Life here is wonderfully easy. The cafes and boutiques of Jackson Street, the Esplanade and the Te Ara Tupua shared path are all close by, while Petone Station makes the commute into Wellington simple.
A rare chance to own one of Petone's most distinctive homes, where heritage architecture, contemporary living and city fringe convenience come together beautifully.
