12 Whiorau Grove, Lowry Bay, Lower Hutt City, Wellington

Perched above Wellington Harbour in prestigious Lowry Bay, this architectural treasure represents a rare opportunity to own an Ernst Plischke-designed residence. As one of New Zealand's most influential modernist architects, Plischke's masterful touch is evident throughout this thoughtfully crafted home, with a carefully composed view of the harbour, Somes Island, and Wellington's dynamic skyline beyond.

This four-bedroom sanctuary seamlessly blends indoor and outdoor living across two levels. The upper floor showcases Plischke's genius for space and light, featuring free-flowing living areas that connect through expansive sliding doors to a sun-drenched deck. Here, the sophisticated open-plan kitchen and living spaces create an entertainer's paradise, while offering front-row seats to Wellington's ever-changing maritime panorama.

The home's lower level provides two bedrooms or office and bathroom, while the upper-level houses two additional bedrooms, creating ideal zones for family living or guest accommodation. The family bathroom and guest powder room reflect the home's commitment to both elegance and practicality.

The grounds are a testament to considered design, with established native trees creating a private oasis. Manicured lawns and gardens provide a serene backdrop, while a sheltered eastern patio offers a tranquil spot for morning coffee or quiet contemplation.

Some of the features include:

- Internal access double carport with three dedicated storage rooms
