186 Oriental Parade, Oriental Bay, Wellington captured hearts across the web this past month, becoming our most-viewed property and earning its place as July's most loved online.

This Edwardian gem is a beloved landmark - not just for its bold mural and tiered façade, but for being part of Oriental Bay’s storied canvas. The mural, like many public artworks in the area, nods to Wellington’s long tradition of using colour to enliven public spaces.

Outwardly, the home is a playful maximalist riff, instantly recognisable in the streetscape shared with its neighbouring “seven sisters.” Inside, however, it is minimalist chic: high ceilings, timber floors and stained-glass details framed by calm, contemporary tones.

Step out onto the generous terrace and you have front-row seats to the bay’s signature scene - beach, breeze, Carter Fountain and swimmers in the summer waves.

The terrace and neighbouring Edwardian architecture anchor this corner of Oriental Parade as one of Wellington’s most iconic street-front moments.

Set up as three self-contained residences, this property offers flexibility: live, rent, restore or reinvent. Heritage charm meets modern elegance - an irresistible combo that’s clearly caught the attention of thousands.
