Sefton Street

Perched in the sought-after suburb of Wadestown, this remarkable home boasts breathtaking views of Wellington Harbour. Our client envisioned a space to showcase an extensive book collection while also enhancing the home's connection to the garden and creating an inviting area for entertaining.
To achieve this, the underutilized space beneath the existing deck was transformed through an extensive excavation process. A newly designed internal staircase seamlessly connects the main house to a lower-level corridor, featuring a laundry, ample storage, and a beautifully crafted library.
The library itself is a haven of comfort and sophistication, offering generous space for both relaxation and entertainment. A dedicated sitting area, a pool table, and two charming bay window seats provide the perfect setting to enjoy the garden and harbour views. French doors open directly to the upper garden, now redesigned with elegant central stairs and formal terraces leading to the lower garden.
Above, the first-floor deck has been thoughtfully rebuilt, preserving the stunning panoramic views while overlooking the newly landscaped grounds. This exceptional renovation blends functionality with timeless elegance, creating a refined and inviting retreat in one of Wellington’s most desirable locations.
