When acclaimed Wellington architect Graham Kofoed sat down in the 1950's to sketch the concept drawings for his own home, a true icon was in the making.

The superior residence that resulted was avant garde then and slightly courageous. Today its individuality impresses even more, making it so deserving of its exalted status.

For decades, the home Mr Kofoed designed for his large family has been widely admired and with some envy. Outwardly it has distinctive features that catch the eye and the interior has the obvious touch of a craftsman determined to make his own home very special.

Proudly coveted by its present owners for nearly four decades, the home so many thought would be permanently out of reach is being proudly marketed by David Graves and Tall Poppy. An opportunity now exists to secure a piece of Wellington history, a grand home in a wonderful part of Wellington.
