Grand CBD Villa, Unique & Impressive

Deadline sale closing 2 pm, Thu 31st July 2025 (unless sold prior)

Step into a world of charm and character with this unique 1900s villa in the heart of Whanganui’s CBD. Once known as Linwood House, this striking three-level property has had a vibrant history as a salon, an insurance office, and most recently as the whimsical home of the Extraordinary Peoples League steampunk shop. Today, it is an impressive 370 sqm residence full of possibility - perfect as a grand family home, boutique Bed and Breakfast, or mixed-use business opportunity.

With exquisite turn-of-the-century architecture, this multi-space Commercial Zone B villa has stunning heritage features—soaring high studs, chandeliers, ornate fireplaces, sash windows, and beautiful hardwood floors.

This property is being sold "as is, where is." With its spacious living areas filled with natural light, it creates an airy and uplifting ambience throughout the home, that will turn heads from the street and truly captivate within.

The layout is spread over three spacious levels. At the top, you’ll find two bedrooms, a full bathroom, and a light-filled kitchen with an adjoining living space. The lower levels offer even more options—ideal for continued commercial use, gallery space, or a home-based business, all while retaining the flexibility to use it as part of the wider residence. Whether you’re dreaming of running a boutique Airbnb, a commercial business, or simply want room to spread out and grow, this one-of-a-kind property delivers.

The 448 sqm section with off-street parking is compact yet incredibly central. Everything Whanganui has to offer is right on your doorstep—cafés, shops, galleries, and the river are all just a short stroll away.

This is an opportunity for visionary buyers, whether you’re looking for a grand residence, a creative venture, or a mix of both. Unique, impressive, and wonderfully versatile, it truly is a property like no other.
