Property details

Sunny Pristine Gem

Here's a charming home that offers remarkable value in a lovely setting handy to the heart of family-friendly Karori.

Pristine and practical, it's perfect for first-time buyers and young families who want space to grow.

The superbly-maintained three-bedroom house combines the enduring appeal of its' 1930s weatherboard-and-tile construction with a versatile garage, built in the same style, that includes the bonus of a studio or sleepout.

What's more, they're set amid 588sqm of lawn and trees, where there's plenty of room for kids to kick a ball or ride a bike while you unwind under the cover of the glazed BBQ courtyard at the rear.

And the privileged east-west aspect means the 122sqm residence basks in sun all year round.

It streams into the lounge and two of the double-bedrooms from first light while the dining room and third bedroom soak it up until late in mid-summer.

Such is the spaciousness of the master bedroom that there's potential to add an ensuite to complement the modernised bathroom, with its shower-over-bath, vanity and toilet.

The interior is beautifully presented for comfortable living. It retains some of the hallmarks of its era - mosaic tile front steps, decorative feature ceiling - while modernising where it matters.

Most rooms have been retrofitted with double-glazing and as well as panel heating and an HRV system, there's a heat pump in the light-filled lounge.
Quality lighting abounds and the windows are smartly dressed.

The vintage kitchen is a nostalgic delight that's still fully functional but with scope to add value at your leisure if you wish upgrade or remodel.

There's also the convenience of a separate laundry while the studio off the garage offers so many lifestyle options: a sleep-out, home gym, music room, hobbies space … or simply the chance to work from home free of household distractions.

The single-level house is easily-accessible for all ages and stages, and is just a short stroll from Karori West and St Teresa's Schools, Karori Park's playground and sports fields, and the bus stops on Karori Rd for effortless commuting.

Conveniently located just minutes from the vibrant hub of Karori-with its supermarkets, boutique shops, modern library, and medical centre-this property offers an unparalleled lifestyle of ease and recreation.

Outdoor enthusiasts will thrive with the world-class Makara Peak Mountain Bike Park just 1.5km away, widely regarded as the best bike park in the lower North Island. The nearby Wrights Hill Reserve, Skyline walkway, and an 18-hole golf course provide endless weekend adventures.

Complete with dozens of walking trails winding through pristine natural bush, a local park, and the spectacular world renowned Zealandia bird sanctuary is within easy reach, this location effortlessly combines urban convenience with a breathtaking natural playground.
