4 Goldies Brae Thorndon, Wellington City

At the cradle of Wadestown Hill, amongst an established verdant backdrop, belies one of Wellington's most eclectic architectural secrets, Four Goldies Brae, and it is now on the market.

Steeped in history and architectural wonder, with its continuously glazed crescent shaped gallery, concrete construction and commanding setting, the home proudly overlooks Wellington City & its picturesque harbour.

Designed and built in 1876 by Dr. Alexander Johnston, a prominent provincial surgeon, the home harks back to an era of formality, sophistication and graciousness with its ten rooms purposefully designed to accommodate, whatever the occasion.

The glazed gallery, arguably the key feature to this home, allows for extraordinary light and natural heat to enter every room. A small addition by Sir Michael Fowler has accentuated this aspect and allowed a second, but no less formal entrance.

Your days will be split between the two anchoring points of the Crescent House; the drawing room and the morning room, each with impressive bay windows, working ornate fireplaces and unparalleled views. The relaxed and elegant morning room, ideal to retreat away from the world and read a book or two, or the more opulent and formal drawing room for hosting and entertaining.

The two large bedroom suites hold formal dressing rooms and en-suites with the master suite boasting enviable floor-to-ceiling wardrobing.

Extensive structural upgrading has been undertaken by the current vendors providing the ideal opportunity for the new owners to focus on adding aesthetic value to accentuate the beguiling character within.

The Estate at Four Goldies Brae simply must be seen to be fully appreciated
