Mid-century icon for sale in Sumner

Jake Kenny Reporter from Community News

Whenever you read anything about Modernism in Christchurch, the famed Pascoe House in Sumner will be mentioned.

Designed by architect Paul Pascoe in 1948 for his own family, the house was voted one of the best 50 houses of the 20th Century by Home & Entertaining magazine, and was commonly labelled “the first true New Zealand beach house” – not to be confused by our history of DIY baches and cribs.

And now, the house has been listed for sale by Rod Cross of Ray White Ferrymead, who says he's particularly proud to have such an architectural gem on his books.
