Phoenix House - A Timeless Masterpiece

- Te Aro Wellington

Phoenix House stands as a testament to Wellington’s rich history, embodying architectural elegance and cultural significance. This property is a rare opportunity to own a piece of New Zealand’s heritage, perfect for those who appreciate historic charm and timeless beauty.

The building which was originally designed by William Turnbull has a rich history and is deemed to be of national heritage importance and therefore is entered on the New Zealand Heritage List as a Category 1 historic Place. Originally built as a prestigious home and surgery for Dr McGavin in 1908 in an area of the city once known as Doctor’s row, the property has also had a life as The New Zealand Red Cross Society building for 35 years. It has been the home of Phoenix Law for the past 18 years.

The current owners have made a significant investment in earthquake strengthening work to preserve the life of the building as well as many other refurbishments throughout, which have been completed to retain the authenticity of the building, and return it to its original 1908 look. The building is currently used as a home and law offices.

Further features include:

• Ten Bedrooms
• Five Bathrooms
• Off street parking for 3 cars
• Original heritage features throughout
• Major strengthening works completed in 2020
