Live the Dream: Historic Elegance with Modern Comfort
Rarely does a property emerge that so effortlessly bridges the gap between the romantic charm of yesteryear and the rigorous demands of modern living. 117 Pirie Street is that rare find,a home of strong architectural presence, meticulously renovated to offer an uncompromising lifestyle in the heart of Wellington's most coveted suburb.
Character & Craftsmanship Step inside to soaring high-stud ceilings adorned with intricate plasterwork cornices, where the sense of space and light is immediate. This isn't just a "face-lift"; a comprehensive 2005 renovation saw this home fully insulated and double-glazed, ensuring a whisper-quiet, thermally efficient sanctuary that stands head and shoulders above its peers.
Culinary & Aesthetic Excellence At the heart of the home lies a designer kitchen that will stir the soul of any chef, featuring recessed appliances and a breath-taking marble benchtop imported directly from Italy. The theme of luxury continues in the bathrooms, where Italian-style limestone floors meet sun-drenched skylights. The master suite is a true retreat, complete with a generous walk-in robe and a sleek ensuite.
Unrivalled Infrastructure While the aesthetics are undeniable, the "bones" of this home are what truly set it apart. This property features infrastructure rarely seen in residential builds:
Climate Control: Fully integrated central heating and cooling for year-round bliss.
Safety First: An advanced internal sprinkler system with an independent water supply.
Smart Living: A customisable advanced lighting system and ample storage, including a lined attic.
The Rare Double: Internal access double garaging, the ultimate Mt Victoria luxury complete with a dedicated laundry, utility room, and a bespoke wine cellar setup.
An Urban Oasis Set against a backdrop of city and urban views; the grounds are as manicured as the interior. Follow the path through expertly topiaried gardens, past the iconic Pohutukawa and a fruit-bearing pear tree, offering a serene escape just minutes from the CBD, the waterfront, and the vibrancy of Courtenay Place.
Why 117 Pirie Street? Because this is a home for the discerning buyer who refuses to compromise between character and comfort. Solid, warm, and filled with a special energy, it's one of those properties that simply feels right the moment you step inside and truly needs to be experienced in person.
