18 and 20 Tower Crescent, Durie Hill, Whanganui

The house on the hill

Occupying pole position on top of Durie Hill this iconic property is easily recognisable from the city below. Accessed down a private drive you are assured of privacy with countryside and the city as your neighbours making it the perfect city retreat.

With panoramic views across the city, this elevated retreat truly makes the ideal escape from the hustle and bustle of life. Converted from two semi-detached residences some 30 years ago was designed with flexibility in mind. Covering a generous floor plan of 200sqm (more or less) the home sits on a double section of 1,501sqm (more or less) meaning you will never be short of space.

The spacious and light filled living areas all take in the views that include the river below as it meanders its way out to the ocean and distant countryside with snowcapped Mount Taranaki on the horizon.

The deck which runs along the front of the house provides the perfect setting for al fresco dining or to enjoy a wine as you watch the sun set out to sea. The property comprises two adjoining sections which provides ample room for off street parking, even enough to create additional garaging to store your toys.

For those in the need of a coffee or retail fix you are only a stroll down the Durie Hill steps and across the town bridge to nearby cafes, shops and the river city market. Return trips home are made easier with the famous Durie Hill elevator delivering you back to the top of the hill and an easy walk to your hilltop retreat.

Being offered for sale for the first time in 30 years this is a unique opportunity to own an incredible property with the adjoining section or the house only. Please contact me for a private appointment to view.
