This grand residence whose grounds once commanded half of Mt Victoria is reluctantly on the market for the first time in 60 years. With a strong heart, ready to be restored to its former glory and begin a new chapter of its life. This is a once in a life-time opportunity for you to dare to dream and create a history of your own. This landmark heritage property was designed by prominent Wellington architectural firm Thomas Turnbull and Son and was constructed in 1890 for Mrs Catherine Gray on a large (905sqm), sunny, prominent corner site. The expansive home presents an exceptional opportunity to enhance Wellington's cultural heritage - on a most desirable site, in a sought-after city fringe suburb, with the entertainment district, waterfront and CBD right on your doorstep. A fine example of New Zealand's adaptation of the Queen Anne style, the architecturally significant building, displays a tiled roof, prominent gables with a half-timbered effect, projecting bays, multi-pane windows and native timbers
