A Timeless story of Character Craftmanship & Care

Welcome to 30 Roxburgh Street, a truly special home, rich in history and character, nestled in the heart of Mount Victoria.

In June 1983, the current owner and his late wife became the proud custodians of this remarkable property, believed to have been established as early as the 1860s. Historical records and early panoramic photographs from the 1880s show the home already standing, a testament to its enduring presence in one of Wellington's most established residential areas.

Over the years, the home has evolved alongside the city. From its early days as a weatherboard villa with expansive gardens and greenhouses, to its subdivision in the 1920s into a home and income dwelling, the property carries layers of history within its walls. Stories from neighbours recall childhood adventures climbing fences to pick grapes from the greenhouse, painting a vivid picture of life here across generations.

When the current owners took possession, they embarked on an extensive and heartfelt restoration. Stripping back layers of time, they revealed the home's original structure, carefully upgrading insulation, wiring, and finishes while preserving its integrity. Every step was a labour of love, from restoring native timber to reimagining the living spaces for modern life.

The home's transformation includes a thoughtfully designed kitchen, bathroom, laundry, and a stunning garden room that opens seamlessly to the outdoors. One of the most unique features lies beneath the home, a hand-hewn well dating back to the 1800s, discovered during renovations and incorporated as a striking feature within the kitchen.

Adding further character, the octagonal dining room showcases beautiful recycled gothic windows sourced locally, creating a truly memorable architectural highlight. Complementing these features are historic pendant lights originally from Government House, offering a rare and elegant connection to New Zealand's heritage. Together, these elements blend effortlessly with the home's story.

Outside, the garden has been lovingly developed over decades. Decking now extends the living space, creating a welcoming outdoor area perfect for entertaining or relaxing. A particularly special feature is the mature cabbage tree at the rear of the section - visible even in historic photographs from the 1880s - standing as a living connection to the property's past.

More recently, the home has undergone further careful restoration. The original weatherboards, hidden for decades beneath stucco, have been revealed and beautifully reinstated, complemented by heritage colours true to the home's era. A new roof has also been completed, ensuring peace of mind for years to come.

This is more than just a house, it is a home with a story, a soul, and a legacy. Lovingly preserved and enhanced, it now awaits its next custodian - someone who will continue to appreciate and care for this unique piece of Wellington's history.

As the current owner reflects, this home was never simply purchased, it was discovered. And for the next owner, it may just feel the same.

I warmly invite you to experience the charm and character of this remarkable home for yourself. Join me at one of our upcoming open homes, or contact me to arrange a private viewing at a time that suits you.

Tender closes 12pm Wednesday 13th May 2026 at Tommy's Real Estate Limited, 209 Victoria Street, Te Aro, Wellington. (Vendor reserves the right to sell prior)
