26 and 26A Burnell Avenue, Thorndon, Wellington
Hidden Treasure
This incredible property sits on 1054sqm of flat land in the heart of Thorndon. The two houses showcase not one but three examples of renowned 20th century New Zealand architecture. You can’t help but be captivated from the moment you walk through the unassuming blue doors at the end of Burnell Avenue. Crossing the threshold you will be amazed by the privacy the Gatehouse provides and the sheltered garden that lies beyond. Wood stairs and a glass enclosure invite you to ascend to the modernist simplicity of an Ernst Plischke one bedroom home sitting above three single garages. Beside this is a stunning mature garden housing a Gray Young three bedroom home. Last updated by Plischke’s partner Cedric Firth in 1972 this home is a combination of the neoclassical charm of Gray Young and mid century modernist functionality of Plischke and Firth. With two properties on two separate titles this is a truly unique opportunity for those looking for location, room to move and style.
Tender Closes 16th March 2018 at 12noon at Just Paterson office, 11b Tory Street, Wellington.
