The Swift street house is historically significant. Built in 1892 at a time of prosperity and expansion, it expresses the confidence of the community in the future development of Wellington and the surrounding district.

Built in 1892 by Dr Robert Rygate this magnificent home has all the charm of yesteryear with today’s modern conveniences. The name on the front is “Hail-lo-aloha’ which means house of love. The house is built from bricks from one of the local Wellington brick kilns and is asymmetrical with a complex pitched roof of painted corrugated iron.

The northern rear of the house was altered in the 1940′s to form a glassed in area later converted to a family room and kitchen. There has been recent work to incorporate a downstairs bathroom within the laundry area.

This home features 3 generous bedrooms upstairs with ceiling fans and all have access via stunning French doors to the gorgeous Victorian lace balcony. The upstairs bathroom is fully renovated and fit for a king!

Down stairs there is a large formal lounge and dining crowned by spectacular chandeliers featuring the traditional black and white marble fire places. The downstairs bedroom is roomy with a walk in robe/dressing room. The kitchen, laundry and downstairs bathroom are fully renovated and the cooker is one that most chefs would be envious of comprising of gas cook top and electric oven.

The gardens are like something out of ‘House and Garden’, totally manicured with features everywhere you look leading up to the in ground swimming pool.
Off to the side is a separate yard that is just begging for a vegetable patch and an orchid to be planted.

Included in the property is a 47 x 9 metre shed which has amazing street presence and could be used for a number of commercial ventures.
