Country Life - City Advantage

BY NEGOTIATION
Sitting proudly and privately next to the town belt, Henry Wright arguably picked the best site in Wellington to build this Carpenter Gothic style home in 1880. The house was a lavish and exquisite urban dwelling in its time and still is today. Since then, it has been in the careful custody of only a few, including our current owner for the past 28 years.
The grand main dwelling is perfect for formal and informal entertaining, the magnificent grounds are landscaped and established. There are two separate original cottages, discreetly located at the rear of the property. They are currently tenanted, returning $1215 per week, providing valuable income for those who have the privilege of owning the main house. The owner loves the feeling of country living so close to town, the peaceful and sheltered surrounds and the unique historical features enhancing the property.
Whether looking for a home with income and development potential, or a special legacy for you and your family for years to come - this is a must to view.
- Within Wellington Boys College Zone
- Double bedrooms and 2 x 1 bedroom Cottages
