26 Creswick Terrace, Northland, Wellington, Wellington

Elevated, private, and immersed in green, this is a home that quietly sets itself apart.

Exemplifying award-winning Upoko Architect's vision, the home has been sympathetically renovated, to honour its original character. Every detail has been carefully considered; pairing contemporary finishes with timeless features in a way that feels effortless and enduring. Light-filled and thoughtfully oriented, the home embraces its surroundings, creating a calm, secluded retreat. Close to the city but far from ordinary.

Inside, a highly functional layout offers two double bedrooms, each with built in robes, a family bathroom, and open-plan living, dining, and kitchen. Excellent purpose-built storage has been thoughtfully integrated throughout. The living spaces flow seamlessly to a sun-soaked deck with pergola, perfect for relaxed living and easy entertaining.

Beyond, an external laundry and workshop add practicality, while substantial basement storage presents exciting potential for future enhancement, with architectural drawings available to guide the vision.

Despite its modest footprint, the home feels remarkably generous, an intelligent example of small-scale living done exceptionally well. Extensive upgrades to plumbing, wiring, insulation, double glazing, total roof replacement, new HRV and partial recladding provide reassurance and comfort for years to come.

Positioned in tightly held Northland, elevated above the road and surrounded by bush, the setting is tranquil, private, and alive with birdlife. Zoned for sought-after schools and within easy walking distance to the local primary, public transport and CBD, the location balances serenity with convenience.

A rare offering; distinctive, efficient, and beautifully resolved, this home will resonate with those who value design, quality materials, and a sense of place.
