124 Essex Street, Masterton, Wellington

Celebrating the grace and craftsmanship of the 1920s, this remarkable residence has been immaculately restored to honour its heritage while elevating it to an exceptional modern standard.

Stepping through the front door, you’re welcomed by a truly grand foyer, a striking introduction that immediately sets the tone. From here, the home flows effortlessly into the open-plan living, dining and kitchen space, where character and contemporary comfort blend seamlessly.

The living room offers a beautifully intimate escape, centred around an inbuilt fire, the perfect setting for quiet evenings and meaningful moments. The bespoke country-style kitchen is a standout feature, finished with granite benchtops and a generous bar island crowned with recycled oak. Original interior brickwork has been thoughtfully retained, creating warmth and authenticity that cannot be replicated. Large stacking bifold doors open wide to a sun-soaked kwila deck, inviting effortless indoor–outdoor flow and overlooking exquisitely landscaped grounds.

The lower level is completed by a double bedroom with bay window, a chic tiled bathroom with underfloor heating and a separate laundry, each space finished with careful attention to detail.

Upstairs, three further bedrooms await, including a master suite connected via a Jack and Jill design to a stunning tiled bathroom. Here, a bespoke timber double vanity with a stone benchtop, clawfoot bath and underfloor heating create a luxurious yet timeless feel. Throughout the home, exquisite leadlight and bay windows, custom-crafted detailing speak to the quality of restoration and the thoughtful enhancements made specifically for this residence.

Outside, the gardens are nothing short of extraordinary. Designed by Stablehouse Design, they are a testament to considered landscaping, beautifully structured, low maintenance, and perfectly complementary to the home’s grandeur. For more intimate evenings, enjoy the outdoor brick seating area complete with its own wood fire.

A double garage, re-roofed and repainted, provides ample storage, while the home itself has been restored from being re-roofed and rewired and everything else in between, offering peace of mind alongside its undeniable beauty.

Positioned near sought-after Wairarapa schooling, this is a home that delivers presence, refinement and enduring appeal in equal measure.
