Kelburn, with all-day sun and views

Elevated above the city and straddling the western ridge of Kelburn, 52 Central Terrace enjoys full all-day sun and uninterrupted panoramic views. Designed by renowned architect, James Bennie and completed in 1905, the soaring stud heights, exceptional craftsmanship, and a level of finish rarely seen today define a home of distinction with genuine presence.

The enclosed wrap around verandah extends the living environment, creating a sequence of spaces for entertaining, retreat, and taking in the outlook across Wellington. Multiple living areas are arranged to support family life and hosting, with a natural flow that allows the home to scale effortlessly for both everyday living and larger occasions.

At the centre of the home, a designer kitchen anchors daily life. Appointed with Gaggenau appliances and generous preparation space, it has been designed for serious cooking, efficient entertaining, and the rhythm of a busy household.

Accommodation is substantial and well resolved, with four bedrooms, three bathrooms, and a guest powder room arranged to provide privacy, separation, and flexibility. The principal suite is positioned as a true retreat, while the remaining bedrooms accommodate family, guests, or home office requirements with ease.

The gardens form a rare and sheltered setting, with established English plantings and a private dell creating a sense of enclosure and calm so close to the city. These grounds frame the home with maturity and permanence, offering space for children, entertaining, and quiet enjoyment.

A large double garage provides secure parking and excellent storage, completing a home that has been carefully considered in both form and function.

Zoned for both Wellington Boys’ and Wellington Girls’ Colleges, and with the cable car within a ten-minute walk, the location offers an easy and efficient connection to Lambton Quay and the waterfront. Or for those at-home weekends, the Kelburn village, cafes, restaurants, medical centre and veterinary clinic are only a less than five-minute walk away.

This is a home defined by position, architecture, and provenance. A home of permanence in one of Wellington’s most tightly held locations.
