11 Armour Avenue, Mount Victoria, Wellington
If you’re a lover of heritage properties you’ll find this one most appealing. It was built in the 1890s and has been meticulously maintained. There’s enormous street appeal with bay windows, intricate fretwork and a handsome front door with leadlight glass. Inside the rooms are large, with high studs, and with three bathrooms - plus formal and informal living rooms, there’s more than enough space for a family. While the house is well-presented, with a modern kitchen sympathetic to its age, there’s scope for improving it further by redecorating the bedrooms, for example. The garden also has endless potential. Tender closes 21 March 21.
