14 Lochiel Road, Khandallah, Wellington, Wellington

RV$3,530,000

Privately tucked behind a secure gate, this recently built family home is a striking example of thoughtful architecture and refined design. Designed by Wellington’s iconic Novak + Middleton architects, it delivers quiet luxury in the heart of Khandallah village— generous, flexible and beautifully resolved throughout.

The main house unfolds across two levels, with the ground floor dedicated to relaxed family living and entertaining. At its centre sits a picture-perfect kitchen — rich in design detail — with green ceramic tiles, oak framed island and Perrin & Rowe tapware. A generous scullery discreetly handles the working side of the kitchen, while a lightwell and fluted glass cabinetry add warmth and character. A family-sized laundry is positioned nearby for convenience.

Open-plan living flows outdoors to a landscaped entertaining area with outdoor fire and a garden designed by Xanthe White. Inside, back to back fireplaces anchor both the main living space and a moody media room — a cocooning retreat with dark walls and built-in cabinetry. Also on this level is a generous guest bedroom with its own ensuite, plus an opulent guest w/c.

Upstairs, a double-height mezzanine enhances the sense of space and connection. The main bedroom suite is expansive, with both built-in and walk-in wardrobes, and a serene ensuite featuring bath, shower, dual basins and a discreet WC. Two further ensuited bedrooms mirror each other, each with excellent wardrobe space and beautifully finished terrazzo bathrooms.

A further bonus room attached to the garage adds even more adaptable space.

Generous, flexible and impeccably finished, this is a home designed with care to evolve with its owners — balancing family life, entertaining, work and retreat with ease. A truly special offering in one of Khandallah’s most sought-after streets.
