Not surprisingly, Tommy’s Real Estate agents Billy Bell and Jess Platt describe it as the most unique property they have listed.
“We’ve had unusual looking houses, but never anything quite like this so it’s exciting to be involved.”
Be warned, however, it needs earthquake strengthening and only has one loo.
It is believed to be the only control tower in the world with a residential address and its own letterbox.
Wouldn't it make a great house?

He spotted three birds he had never previously seen and posted on Facebook hoping someone would help identify them.
He was surprised to find that he had seen the Lesser knot (sometimes called the Red knot).
According to birdsonline it is a regular visitor from Russia. There are about 120,000 that winter over in Australia or New Zealand but Woolf said he had never seen one before in Wellington.
What is the rarest bird you have spotted?
Hi, I have 28 blank DVDs / CDs if anyone would like them; to burn to, to create a masterpiece, to keep the sparrows out (does that even work?). Pick up biz hours on The Terrace, or Tory St after hours.

The price for an entry level house often starts at $1 million, and queues extend down streets for the many young wannabes viewing the few properties on the market.

The price for an entry level house often starts at $1 million, and queues extend down streets for the many young wannabes viewing the few properties on the market.
The Wellington City Council wants a more livable city, but many can’t afford to live and work in it, while others think proposed changes will remove what makes it so liveable in the first place.
The Wellington City Council has a Draft Spatial Plan that could radically change the city.
That includes more medium to high-density buildings in the CBD, particularly focused around prominent transport routes and hubs.
Many large character homes could be bulldozed to allow for high density apartments and multi-storey buildings.

At the October 17 election, New Zealanders will have the opportunity to choose their regional spokesperson.
