59 Great North Road, Saint Johns Hill, Whanganui, Manawatu-Wanganui

Wilson House, as it's known. A large home for its time, this two-level home has four bedrooms and three bathrooms, covering a total of 260 square meters, on a large, gently sloping 4,892 sqm section.

This iconic home was designed by New Zealand Architect Don Wilson for his family and is located close to town in the leafy suburb of St Johns' Hill.

Throughout the house there are large, glazed, non-load bearing exterior walls, built-in cabinetry in the bedrooms, kitchen and living areas. There's an extensive outdoor entertaining space along with an in-ground pool as well. The thought that has gone into the design of this house is impressive!

The property has been recognized for its design merits over the years. Featured in numerous NZ architectural publications, the house also won the New Zealand Institute of Architects Enduring Architecture Award in 2014.

Authentically furnished and decorated with art, pottery and ceramics also benefiting the era - The Wilson house offers more than a taste of "International modernism" right here in New Zealand. For music lovers, there is a built in stereogram as well.

This is a truly special property and really will get hearts a-flutter.

Currently run as a very popular Airbnb, the next custodians of this great home will be chosen with care.
