Aro Valley gem for sale

Nicholas Boyack Reporter from Community News

In a valley of colonial villas and historic buildings in Wellington, there’s a small Mid-century Modern house with an unassuming exterior, but an interesting story.
The three-bedroom house, which has just been listed for sale, was designed by Modernist architect Maurice Patience in 1967, and still features most of its original materials, fixtures and fittings.
One of the owners says she had never seen anything like it when they first went through the house six years ago:
“It is so unique, and totally unexpected in Aro Valley where it's all about turn-of-the-century villas – but here there was this little Mid-Century house sitting in the middle. I think it may be the only Mid-century house in the valley.
It is for sale by tender, with enquiries invited over $1.495 million.
What do you think it will sell for?
