48a Pretoria Street, Lower Hutt, Wellington

Offered to the market for the very first time in over half a century, this much loved 1960s family home has been the heart of countless memories - and now it’s ready for a new family to move in, make it their own, and fill it once again with love and laughter. Built in an era when spacious living was essential, the home offers a generous and practical layout designed for family life.

Downstairs, you’ll find two inviting living areas - one with an L shaped layout ideal to accommodate both the lounge and dining, and the other a separate room, perfect as a formal space or a haven for the kids. The main lounge flows into a sunroom that overlooks the garden, a lovely space for that morning coffee or maybe a gorgeous setting to work from home. The kitchen is both functional and full of character, featuring beautiful Tawa wood cabinetry, a hallmark of its time, with plenty of room for the family chef and even a cosy nook for breakfast or homework. This level also includes a guest toilet, laundry, and internal access to a single garage with workshop space. Upstairs offers three large bedrooms and a cleverly designed family bathroom split into three zones - shower room, bath and vanity area, and a separate toilet - making busy mornings a breeze.

Outdoors, enjoy established gardens, colourful plantings, and a flat, secure section where children can safely play. Positioned across the road from the popular Sweet Vanilla Café and within walking distance to Eastern Hutt Primary and other top schools, the location is unbeatable for families. Yes, this home could benefit from a little TLC to restore it to its former glory - but the potential here is enormous. With its solid bones, spacious layout, and sought after location, this is a home where you can truly put your own stamp on things. If you’ve been searching for a genuine family home with heart, history, and opportunity - this is the one.
