Mahy's daughter, Penny, told the Herald earlier this year the house is owned by her younger sister Bridget and after nine years, she has made the difficult decision to sell.
Mahy said the house still has a number of in-built bookshelves.
"It's probably a little bit excessive for most families these days but when we grew up in the house basically every wall was covered in books."

Margaret Mahy owned hundreds of books that were stacked along 170 lineal metres of bookshelving, she said, most of which now belong to Penny and Bridget.
