Iconic villa with development potential


For sale by Auction: 12pm, Friday 15 August 2025 (will not be sold prior). Bayleys Whanganui, 158 Wicksteed Street.

Step into a rare opportunity to own one of Whanganui's most recognisable and historically significant homes. Going to auction, this grand character property at 176 Wicksteed Street offers timeless charm, rich heritage, and exciting future potential - surrounded by prestigious local businesses and clinics.

For generations, this iconic villa was home and practice to a well-known local doctors' family. With its elegant proportions, original features, and flexible layout, it carries all the hallmarks of a classic character residence - and now awaits a visionary new owner to restore it to its former glory.

The home is in need of renovation, making it the perfect project for character lovers or those wanting to add real value. Beyond its heritage appeal, the generous site presents strong development potential. Whether you're considering a restoration, new build, or subdivision (subject to council approval), the options here are wide open.

Adding even more value, the adjoining property at 180 Wicksteed Street is also available, offering the unique opportunity to create a two-home package or larger development site.

This is more than a home - it's a piece of Whanganui's living history, with the location, scale, and potential to become something truly special.

Contact us today for an information pack or to arrange a private viewing. Opportunities like this are rare - act quickly.
