Steeped in history and brimming with charm, this magnificent early Lyttelton residence, built circa 1867, stands proudly above the port, commanding one of the most captivating outlooks in the harbour. A true local landmark, this weatherboard beauty blends its rich heritage with comfortable, sun-filled living.
Behind the white picket fence lies a welcoming character home featuring four generous bedrooms plus a possible fifth or study, a light-filled sunroom, a family bathroom, and an inviting open-plan living area that flows effortlessly into the kitchen and dining space. The front door opens to a sun-soaked veranda and picturesque gardens - the perfect spot to unwind and take in the ever-changing harbour activity below.
Full of soul and personality, this home enjoys an elevated position that maximises sunlight and privacy. The tranquil gardens are beautifully established, framing the home with colour and life throughout the seasons.
With a separate laundry, ample storage, and a layout that caters comfortably to families or creative souls, this is a rare opportunity to secure a piece of Lyttelton's early history - a home that tells a story and continues to inspire.
