OVERVIEW

This Wadestown cottage is a rare blend of colonial charm and beautifully preserved mid-century modern architecture, showcasing the distinct touches of three renowned Wellington architects: Robert Fantl, John Bowes, and Mary Daish. Offered for sale for the first time in 44 years, this two-bedroom home is located on one of Wadestown's premier streets.

Architectural History
- Robert Fantl: The business partner of Ernst Plischke (Plischke Fantl), his 1964 modernist renovation shines in the light-filled living/dining area with built-in cabinetry, large picture windows, and a north-facing deck.
- John Bowes: A pop-up master bedroom with bullnose roofing pays homage to the cottage's colonial origins, featuring harbour views and an ensuite.
- Mary Daish: A contemporary bathroom redesign incorporating fittings and glazing that harmonise with the home's original character.

Key Features
- Two double bedrooms with ample storage, including a master bedroom with all-day sun and panoramic views.
- Two bathrooms: one ensuite and one with Daish's modern yet complementary design.
- Vintage kitchen overlooking a sunny front courtyard.
- Predominantly double-glazed, retaining classic sash windows, painted panelling, and matte-finish sanded floorboards.
- Sheltered, sunny, easy-care garden with magnolia, crabapple, camellia, and rhododendrons, plus a useful basement area.
- Drive-on access to a single covered carport.

Location & Lifestyle
- Situated on one of Wadestown's best streets, a short, scenic walk from Wellington's city centre.
- Offers sublime harbour views, sunny indoor and outdoor living, and a quiet, dress-circle setting filled with birdsong.

Tender Guide
