Victorian beauty overlooking Wellington listed for first time in four decades

The villa has north-facing verandas on two levels, plus a roof deck on top of the garage.

By night or day, the view across the harbour and city is beautiful.

The house has been modernised by heritage architect Barbara Webster, but retains its traditional character.

The main living room has bifold doors and wrap-around windows on the corner.

The window seat is a sun trap throughout the day.

There’s an easy flow to the outdoors from the kitchen and family living area.

At the rear, the house opens up from the main living floor to a landscaped courtyard and fenced lawn.

The property is reached via a private road.
