A Wellington home designed by the renowned architect behind the Auckland Sky Tower is going on the market for the first time ever.
The Days Bay, Lower Hutt house, designed by Gordon Moller, is expected to sell for well over $1 million.
"We are really excited to be marketing this property. This is truly one out of the box," said owner of Century 21 First Choice Realty, Joseph Lupi.
"The fact that Gordon Moller designed it adds considerable interest given his well-known and celebrated body of work in New Zealand over many years, including of course Auckland's Sky Tower."
"This is one of those truly special properties to raise your family and make lasting memories," Lupi said.
"It would have to have one of the best outdoor entertainment areas in Wellington I've ever seen. At the same time, it offers plenty of privacy."
In his opinion, the best feature of the house was "undoubtedly" the view.
Described as a nature lovers' sanctuary, the outside features herb gardens, mature trees, birdlife, fruit trees and roses.
Inside Gordon Moller has also stamped his mark, with warm rimu joinery, high wooden studs as well as interesting nooks and crannies.
Lupi said Moller liked building tower structures and this was present in the Days Bay house, which had a special study room that also acted as a lookout, with windows all around and panoramic views of the bay.
The house has a CV of $920,000 and Lupi said it would sell for much more than that.
The average home price in Days Bay is $872,300, according to QV.
Lupi is hosting viewings by appointment and open homes, with the tender process closing on December 7. It will not be sold prior.
