Attention all developers, DIYers, flippers and those with an eye for potential and a passion for restoration.
It's easy to see why this home has been tightly held for over 30 years as it boasts one of Wellington's premier views, is positioned in a much sought-after suburb and enjoys lashings of all day sun.
This 1890's property offers a blank canvas, potential in spades and a unique chance to bowl and build your dream home or renovate this property to its former glory. Whether you choose to renovate, rebuild or start afresh, this is your chance to create your very own Oriental Bay cream home.
It's easy to see why this coveted spot has been so tightly held for over three decades - you're a stone's throw from all Wellington offers. Just down the path is the famous Oriental Bay beach, walkway, restaurants, cafes, swimming pool, the bus stop, supermarket, movie theatre, marina and gym. While up the path resides Mt Victoria's panoramic views and town belt for a plethora of walking tracks.
Currently spread over two levels on a 366m2 section, there's plenty of work required, so get ready to don your hard hat and tool belt and let your imagination run wild. This golden opportunity is one not to be missed!
Sold by way of Tender, closing Thursday 11 December 2025 @ 2:00pm. (Vendor reserves the right to sell prior).
Great to have three choices of pedestrian entry to the property. Either from Hawker St or McFarlane St on the Mt Victoria path end, or from Oriental Terrace on the Oriental Bay path end.
What a magnificent space to host in or relax after a busy day at work. This room benefits from lashings of all-day-sun and is big enough to command centre stage, yet small enough to ensure quality family time. If the views on offer here don’t win out, then this will be a super spot to curl up on the couch and enjoy your favourite book or TV show as you unwind from your busy day. Even marveling at the home’s stain-glassed windows will be enjoyable!
Strategically located off the kitchen with access to the garden area. This cozy spot will join the family together at mealtimes or is equally as useful to oversee the kids doing their homework or reading while the adults are in the kitchen.
Galley-like in layout, with the laundry area at one end and the dining room at the other. This kitchen space is on the West side of the home, so the potential here bodes well.
1. Located between the front door and lounge and boasting impressive views too. The sash windows speak to the home’s character while there’s shelving either side of the main internal bed head wall. This welcoming master bedroom is sun-filled and spacious.
2. Located at the top of the stairwell, this will be a popular room for those who enjoy stunning views. A good-sized second bedroom complete with a built-in wardrobe and oodles of light to enjoy those warm summer evenings.
3. Located at the end of the hallway and closest to the family bathroom This great sized, private third bedroom also comes complete with its own built-in wardrobe and enjoys what are arguably the home’s most premier views.
1. Ripe for renovation – this space can easily be extended and reconfigured to embrace modernisation. It has a WC, basin, wall mirror, and shower over bath. The two sets of sash windows are a nod to the home’s character.
With a linen cupboard on one wall, space for both a washing machine and dryer opposite, and overhead cupboard space too – there’s plenty of scope here.
What a great space for families and pets. Track the sun throughout the day or seek the shade as you please. This blank canvas space is also an ideal BBQ and relaxation area – with both options easily designed and planned for in equal measure.
All Wellington offers right on your doorstep – you’re a stone’s throw from all Wellington offers. Just down the path is the famous Oriental Bay beach, walkway, restaurants, cafes, swimming pool, the bus stop, supermarket, movie theatre, marina and gym.

There’s plenty of shelving and cupboard space throughout, including under the stairs and above Bedroom 2’s wardrobe, while under the home there’s plenty of storage space as well.
