Seldom can you buy a renovated character home this highly specified and family-friendly in the heart of Karori. Everything has been meticulously optimised for modern, low-maintenance indoor-outdoor living in a sunny, private, picturesque setting with flat lawn and garden just a short stroll from schools, shops and bus routes.

Features include:

• Four bedrooms and two recently upgraded bathrooms, including ensuite for the master

• Perfect for year-round al fresco bliss, from the north-facing terrace at the front to the private deck at the rear with a magnificent elm for summer shade

• Exceptionally sunny and maximised for warmth and comfort, complete with double-glazing and new carpet, a gas fireplace in the lounge and underfloor bathroom heating

• Spruced up kitchen with modern appliances, including a new gas hob and dishwasher, that's open-plan with a recently-remodelled family/dining room with four Bose speakers and French doors to externally-lit decking

• Safely set back from the street with drive-on to two garages: one with a workbench, the other built in 2016

• Unbeatable location close to top schools and kindergartens, swimming pool, shopping centre and library, while in the zone for Wellington College and Wellington Girls' College

• 
  

Over the past 22 years, the downsizing vendors have renovated the entire house and upgraded several rooms twice. So there's nothing to do except move in, arrange the furniture and thank your lucky stars!
