338 Oriental Parade, Oriental Bay, Wellington

Oriental Bay - BEO $3,950,000

A freehold harbourfront residence of scale, character and exceptional liveability in one of Wellington's most tightly held waterfront locations.

Opportunities to secure a freehold waterfront position on Oriental Parade are exceptionally rare. At 338 Oriental Parade, this substantial residence occupies one of Wellington's most coveted harbourfront addresses, set within the quieter and more tranquil end of the bay while remaining just moments from Oriental Bay Beach, cafés, and the sweeping waterfront promenade. Connecting Waterloo Quay and the CBD through Waitangi Park and Oriental Bay to Miramar Peninsula, this celebrated stretch of coastline places the vibrancy of the waterfront close at hand, while the home itself retains a sense of calm and privacy.

Originally constructed in the 1920s, the home today carries a distinctive mid-century character, with generous proportions, excellent natural light, and a strong connection to the harbour. Expansive picture windows frame all day sun, sweeping 180-degree views across the harbour toward the city, and the last of the sun across Oriental Bay. A substantial family home, it offers a very large living and dining room, kitchen with butler's area and laundry, bar, billiard room, and powder room, creating a layout equally suited to daily life and entertaining.

Arranged across three levels, entry begins at the street level with four car garaging, before ascending to the main living floor and then to the upper-level accommodation. The home comprises five bedrooms, two bathrooms including an ensuite, and an additional lounge, with the scale of the interiors extending well beyond conventional expectations. Architectural details including an entertainer's wet bar, timber panelling with copper accents, and a dedicated billiard room complete with table and equipment add further depth and personality throughout.

Outdoor living unfolds across several distinct spaces, including a large private flat back garden, a generous entertaining deck, a 51 square metre upper deck, and a balcony spanning the lower level that strengthens the home's connection to its harbourfront setting. Together with the home's established layout, easy access and sunny aspect, 338 Oriental Parade presents a rare opportunity to secure a landmark Wellington waterfront residence that can be enjoyed immediately, while offering enduring appeal for the future.

Open Home: Sunday 19th April - 3:00pm-3:45pm (call to register)
