7 Derby Street, City Centre, Gisborne, 4010, New Zealand
Mr Joseph Stevenson, the original owner of this property; a carpenter and builder, certainly made his mark with the strong street presence for the home he built for his family; now known as Stevenson House (Former). You could say this landmark home is “World famous in Gisborne, NZ”.
Strongly influenced by American Queen Anne Revival architecture, this is a piece of local history, and buyers with a keen eye for quality detail will immediately appreciate his meticulous craftsmanship throughout.
Set on a quarter acre, the footprint of the home extends just over 180m² – and as you would expect for this era, all spaces are grand and large in proportion. There are so many stunning features; all the characteristic, authenticity and substance of this home remain largely intact … but now in need of a sympathetic rejuvenation for today’s more modern living.
This live in project will be a rewarding asset to the new owner, with so much pride in ownership of a heritage landmark property only moments from the Gisborne CBD.
