OVERVIEW
Hobson Street is renowned as Wellington's finest stretch of character homes. But few can rival this extraordinary example of Edwardian grandeur for sun, scenery and space. Discreetly modernised while retaining all the charm and grace of its era, it's a magnificent showcase of character and convenience in a location second-to-none. Features include:
- Four big double-bedrooms with leafy views, including two with a peek of the harbour
- Exceptional north-facing aspect with open space around the house that makes it one of Thorndon's sunniest - and most sheltered
- Exquisite eat-in kitchen with plenty of room for casual dining and all the essentials of modern entertaining, complete with coal range as a reminder of how it used to be
- Beautifully proportioned rooms for living and dining, plus a "library" with elegantly built-in bookcases for working from home in atmospheric splendour
- Breathtakingly original character, from high ceilings, hardwood floors and four working fireplaces, to bay windows on all sides, tongue-and-groove panelling and even a vintage showerhead in one of the two bathrooms (both with claw-foot baths)
- Sublimely green and serene setting that combines borrowed views of flowering cherry trees with its own private lawn, hydrangeas and hedging, and enchanting camellia walkway
- Not only zoned for Wellington's best schools but also literally across the street from picturesque Queen Margaret College
- Off-street carpark that could be used for a west-facing patio (as virtually everything you could wish for, from the waterfront to the CBD to The Golden Mile, is within a short walk)
- Offers are invited upwards of $2,000,000
This is the kind of home where you won't have a favourite room - you'll love them all as you follow the sun around every beautiful corner of what truly is an iconic benchmark for city living. View this Sunday to avoid disappointment.
