This landmark property is much acclaimed for unique Spanish Colonial Architecture and its magnificent position on a prominent corner of iconic Glandovey Rd overlooking our beautiful Wairarapa Stream. Built in 1929 by the renowned Glue Bros. using their famed hand-poured concrete construction, there are many elegant features still standing the test of time. Not least the distinctive Porte Cochere, or Coach Door, a graceful arched loggia forming a grand entrance to this impressive house. Multi pane windows, some with curved tops, lovely window boxes, and the striking terracotta tile roof with capped chimneys all pay homage to the Mediterranean.

Slightly elevated and facing north, long established plantings meander down to the stream and mature trees stand majestically on the boundaries overseeing all. Original double garaging has been recently converted into a studio with ensuite, an ideal guest house or retreat for family members. There is parking and turning for numerous extra vehicles.

The interior is renovated in keeping with the architecture and European influence with exquisite wallpapers and light fittings. Living rooms are of stately proportions interconnecting through bevelled glass French doors and original Canadian Oregan flooring glows throughout the downstairs. A new kitchen installed by the current owner, has pink marble bench and splashback, back lit for a simply stunning effect. Bathrooms have been installed around art deco pedestal basins and an amazing, rounded bath from the era. The four bedrooms upstairs all have leafy outlooks and are light filled. The master has a door to a sunroom with enchanting views from three sides.

Often admired, this is a Heritage property built with the utmost care and skill in an era of flair and style. Classic and enduring, we can see a long future for this beautiful house. Come and see if your family might play a part in the ongoing history!
