180 Wicksteed Street, Whanganui City, Whanganui

Grand opportunity on Wicksteed

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

Steeped in local history and brimming with potential, this once-stately villa is available for the first time in decades. Set on a generous 1,017sqm (more or less) section in the heart of Whanganui's main business district, 180 Wicksteed Street is a rare offering — a character home in the CBD, surrounded by professional local businesses and clinics, just waiting for a new chapter.

Originally a grand residence, the villa was split into three flats with flexible living configurations. While the home is in need of significant renovations, the bones are strong and the potential is enormous - restore it to its former glory, reconfigure into luxury heritage apartments, or explore redevelopment options for business or mixed-use purposes (subject to council consent).

With its commanding street presence, high ceilings, bay windows, and period detailing, this is a true slice of Whanganui's heritage. The property next door at 176 Wicksteed Street is also for sale, presenting an opportunity that will appeal to developers, investors, visionary renovators, and those seeking an extraordinary home or income-generating property.

Create a landmark. Build your legacy. Or simply bring something beautiful back to life - the choice is yours.
Don't miss your chance to secure this iconic property in one of Whanganui's most strategic and high-profile locations.
