17 Frank Wilson Terrace, Welbourn, New Plymouth, Taranaki

Light, form and function come together across three unforgettable levels. Rebuilt in 2013 to the highest architectural standards, this modern masterpiece makes a confident statement - one defined by balance, proportion and connection to its natural surroundings.

Set across 1,243sqm (more or less) in New Plymouth’s coveted dress circle, every line and detail of this residence has been meticulously considered. The exterior with an interplay of aluminium weatherboards and cedar battens - creates a striking facade and grand entry, leading into a home shaped by its warmth and structure.

Inside, the living areas are defined by purpose rather than walls - a triumph of design integrity with multiple zones enhancing the home’s sense of connection. Heating the space, a standout Pyro Classic wood burner adds a sculptural, yet practical presence to the setting. Soaring, varied ceiling heights and a refined lighting layout celebrate the space, while floor-to-ceiling glass stacker doors dissolve the boundaries between indoors and out. Beyond, multiple decks and outdoor zones invite relaxation or entertaining against a backdrop of native canopy.

The open plan kitchen and dining area is anchored by bespoke cabinetry and a premium suite of Miele appliances, along with an induction cooktop and island bench.

The master suite commands the top level - a private retreat with an ensuite, walk-in robe and expansive glazing framing the treetop and skyline views. Two further bedrooms and a flexible office (or fourth bedroom) deliver functional living options, complemented by a generous family bathroom with a walk-in shower, bath and abundant storage.

The separate studio - with two distinct spaces and a bathroom - offers versatility for guests, an Airbnb income stream, or a creative workspace. The double garage sits above, seamlessly integrated into the architectural form.

Every element has been executed with comfort in mind: double glazing, comprehensive insulation and thoughtful storage throughout. The landscaped grounds - complete with cherry blossoms, citrus and roses, are supported by dual water tanks for irrigation.

Elevated above the city yet in proximity to Pukekura Park, Bowl of Brooklands, the racecourse, Te Henui walkway and the CBD - this is a property that captures the very best of modern design and location. A home that doesn’t just impress - it inspires.

Viewings are by appointment.
