One of Saint Johns Hill’s most admired residences, a beautifully kept estate where heritage architecture, crafted detailing and modern comfort come together with ease.

The ground floor sets a richly inviting tone. The formal lounge is a standout, anchored by a feature fireplace, decorative ceilings, window seating and a scale that makes both gatherings and quiet evenings feel effortless. The adjoining dining area leads through to a contemporary kitchen bathed in natural light, finished with stone bench-tops, high end appliances, generous storage and a conservatory-style glazing that frames the garden. Original floors, warm timber accents and thoughtful updates give the home a feeling of continuity and care while central heating provides supreme comfort year round.

Accommodation is well spread, offering four bedrooms and three bathrooms across both levels. Downstairs, a beautifully detailed guest room provides ideal separation, while the upper level forms a private family zone with three peaceful bedrooms, each filled with natural light and character windows. The bathrooms have been updated with quality fixtures, including a generous spa bath and separate shower. While wide hallways and abundant storage add everyday practicality without compromising charm.

Outdoors, the terraced brick courtyard, lush hedging and abundant fruit trees create a calm, sun-filled space for entertaining or unwinding. Multiple lawn configurations show the versatility of the section, while mature plantings and established borders keep maintenance low. Two separate garages and a workshop add real value, offering secure parking, hobby space or storage.

Positioned in one of Whanganui’s most sought streets, you’re moments from St Johns Hill School, Virginia Lake and local cafés. This is a property with heart, heritage and enduring presence.
