46 Rawhiti Terrace Kelburn, Wellington City

A home of remarkable presence and enduring character, this beautifully renovated early 1900s residence brings together the craftsmanship and grandeur of its era with the ease and sophistication of contemporary family living.

From the handsome street appeal, there is an immediate sense of substance. Inside, an elegant entrance hall, rich timber panelling and staircase establish the character and generous proportions that define this exceptional home.

The main living level has been thoughtfully arranged for both family life and entertaining. A refined sitting room and adjoining dining room open directly to the sunny courtyard and garden, creating an effortless connection between indoors and out. The generous family room sits alongside the kitchen with quality appliances. A bathroom and separate laundry complete this level.

Upstairs, four generous bedrooms provide excellent space for a growing family, complemented by a beautifully positioned third bathroom. Harbour views add another layer of appeal, changing with the light and seasons.

The lower level offers a dedicated office, wine cellar, additional bathroom and substantial internal-access garaging. These spaces offer practical everyday utility while also providing possibilities for guests, hobbies, work or simply the luxury of having room to spread out.

Extensive improvements have been undertaken with care and consideration, including rewiring, double glazing, a beautifully renewed courtyard with upgraded drainage and modernised bathrooms. Copper spouting and other quality details speak to the level of investment made in preserving the home's character while bringing it confidently into the present.

Positioned proudly on one of Kelburn's most desirable streets, this is a home that places family life at the centre of one of Wellington's most established and sought-after communities. Zoned for Wellington's highly regarded colleges and within easy walking distance of local schools, Kelburn Village, Victoria University, the Cable Car, public transport and the CBD, the convenience is exceptional.

Substantial, beautifully presented and rich in character, this is a home with presence. More importantly, one with the space, versatility and enduring quality to be lived in and loved for years to come.
