Be the first to enjoy this beautifully refreshed 1960s weatherboard home, thoughtfully renovated and ready for its next chapter.

Set in a sunny, sheltered and private position, this well-proportioned home captures expansive views across Newlands towards the airport, harbour and Roseneath. Built in an era when quality workmanship and materials were valued, it combines the character and practicality of a classic Kiwi home with the comfort of a fresh modern interior.

Step inside and you’ll find three bedrooms plus a study, with two of the generous double bedrooms and the study positioned downstairs away from the main living areas, providing a peaceful retreat.
Upstairs is where this home really comes to life. The spacious open-plan kitchen, dining and living area have been cleverly positioned to make the most of the outlook, while excellent indoor-outdoor flow leads to a sheltered rear courtyard and lawn – ideal for morning coffee, entertaining or a summer BBQ.

Also on this level is another generous double bedroom, which could easily serve as the master, along with a stylish new bathroom featuring brand-new fittings and fixtures.
The kitchen is the natural heart of the home, with the living spaces flowing effortlessly around it. Year-round comfort is well catered for with a suitably sized heat pump and additional wall heaters.

Fresh interior paint, a modernised bathroom and brand-new carpet have given this much-loved home a complete new lease on life. It has the welcoming feel of the classic Kiwi home many of us grew up in – warm, practical and easy to live in.

Outside, the established grounds provide a private and peaceful setting, with mature plantings and usable lawns offering space to relax and enjoy. An externally accessed storage room beneath the home provides plenty of room for tools, bikes and all those things you want tucked safely and dry.

Location is another real strength. Johnsonville is close by, while Newlands’ own shopping precinct is just minutes from your door. You’ll also have easy access to local schools, parks, public transport, shops and everyday amenities. Wellington CBD, Porirua and Lower Hutt are all approximately 15 minutes away by car in normal traffic.

Whether you’re a first-home buyer looking to secure your place on the property ladder, a family wanting space in a well-connected suburb, or an investor seeking a solid opportunity (healthy homes compliant), this beautifully presented home deserves your attention. Vendor’s information pack is available to approved parties.

Tender closes 2pm Wednesday 9th September 2026 at Tommy’s Real Estate Limited, 209 Victoria Street, Te Aro, Wellington. (Vendor reserves the right to sell prior)
