When it comes to historic buildings this absolute gem shows a great example of the beautiful architecture that tells the stories of our countries growth.
This building was originally constructed and operated in 1912 by the Tait Family, commencing life as “Tait’s Bakery” until 1948.
Having only three owners since originally built this property has been lovingly cared for over the decades and for the most recent owners of 36 years, a most regretful sale.
Located in the heart of Wellington’s CBD, close to shops, transport and schools is this wonderful opportunity with main street shopfront and separate upstairs residential unit.
Defining features include:
• The retail shop fronting Lee Street benefits from heavy vehicular main street exposure.
• Heritage lovers will appreciate details such as the high pressed-metal ceilings, front deep bay windows, original convict bricks and glass skylights.
• Good sized front foyer area with ceiling fan, ducted air conditioning and loads of natural light.
• Fully functional downstairs kitchen with gas cooking appliances with the potential to make it so much more.
• Light filled loungeroom with a separate bedroom/office with external access to the rear and ceiling fan.
• Sizable partly renovated downstairs, all in one bathroom that also has an external door to the rear yard.
