Enduring Architectural Excellence for Families
Tucked into one of Khandallah's most desirable pockets, this iconic Ian Athfield home offers a rare chance to secure a piece of Wellington architecture. Originally built in 1970's and affectionately known as the "Gingerbread House," it has been sensitively extended to create a warm, creative and highly functional family environment. North-facing and elevated above a beautiful bush-clad valley filled with native birdlife, it's a tranquil retreat just moments from the village.
Light-filled living spaces form the heart of the home. The lounge with gas fire opens to a sun-drenched deck surrounded by mature trees, while the dining area connects easily with the kitchen and is well serviced by a guest bathrom. Signature Athfield materials feature throughout including Douglas Fir beams, concrete block, round windows, cathedral ceilings and quirky architectural details that give the home its unmistakable character.
Accommodation is arranged across two levels, offering excellent separation. The master suite is a private escape with a walk-through dressing room and ensuite opening to a serene, enclosed garden courtyard. Two lower-level bedrooms share a family bathroom, while a fourth bedroom and dedicated study or play area provide flexibility for growing families.
Above the garage, a generous studio adds valuable versatility for work-from-home, teenagers, guests or creative use. With two garages, off-street parking and multiple outdoor spaces, the home is both practical and inspiring.
Positioned well off the road for peace and privacy, yet a short walk to Khandallah Village, Cashmere Avenue School, excellent public transport and local cafés, this is a unique opportunity for lovers of architecture and anyone seeking a home with soul, sun and space.
