Highbury, Western Suburbs

Designed by architect Frederick Ost, this 1960s home captures everything we love about mid-century design – light, space, and breathtaking views. Large double-glazed windows frame an ever-changing panorama stretching across Wellington, the Hutt Valley and beyond, creating a stunning backdrop at every hour of the day and night. With drive-on access, multiple off-street parks and near-flat entry, this is easy living in an elevated setting and East facing for excellent year-round sun. The approach to the home is through an established woodland garden, a great place to enjoy visiting birdlife from Zealandia.

Currently configured in two separate parts, simply reinstating a staircase would return this back into a four bedroom family home.
Bright and welcoming, with an open plan kitchen flowing seamlessly into the dining area and a super sunny conservatory – perfect as a second living space. Downstairs offers excellent flexibility, with its own entrance, kitchenette and two double bedrooms – ideal for extended family or guests, work from home space or short term accommodation.

Further details include:
• Mostly single-level living on the main floor
• Sunny conservatory providing additional living space
• Three double bedrooms and two bathrooms
• Summer sun at dawn and dusk
• Split-level layout with potential to reinstate internal staircase from the original plans
• Separate downstairs living with kitchenette
• Double glazing, heat pump and insulation for year-round comfort
• Modern roof
• Drive-on access with multiple off-street car parks
• Positioned to maximise sun and spectacular views
