Aro Valley gem for sale
In a valley of colonial villas and historic buildings in Wellington, there’s a small Mid-century Modern house with an unassuming exterior, but an interesting story.
The three-bedroom house, which has just been listed for sale, was designed by Modernist architect Maurice Patience in 1967, and still features most of its original materials, fixtures and fittings.
One of the owners says she had never seen anything like it when they first went through the house six years ago:
“It is so unique, and totally unexpected in Aro Valley where it's all about turn-of-the-century villas – but here there was this little Mid-Century house sitting in the middle. I think it may be the only Mid-century house in the valley.
It is for sale by tender, with enquiries invited over $1.495 million.
What do you think it will sell for?
Some Choice News!
Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
