RV $2,450,000
Rarely if ever can you buy an historic villa that’s been renovated as sublimely as this extraordinary showcase of luxury, space and light. It’s like buying a near-new four-bedroom home with sumptuous modern comforts that also celebrates and preserves hallmarks of its heritage as one of the earliest houses in one of Karori’s most sought-after streets.
Features include:
- Four bedrooms with built-in wardrobes, including two with skylights to optimise natural light and a master with a bay window and opulent, exquisitely-tiled ensuite
- Restored where it matters most, complete with matai and rimu floorboards, recycled and refinished kauri cottage doors, raised ceilings (up to 3.2m), a feature sarking wall, widened hall-ways and a reinstated bullnose veranda with sustainable hardwood joinery
- Revitalised throughout for the ultimate in contemporary sophistication and comfort, with new electrical wiring and roofing, energy-efficient insulation, double-glazing, gas central heating, 2 heat pumps, improved structural integrity, and peace-of-mind security (including CCTV)
- Sunny formal and casual living, from the huge northwest-facing lounge to the Michelin chef-worthy kitchen, with its Thin Shaker cabinetry and Caesarstone White Attica benchtops, and spacious dining area that captures first light and lovely views of the landscaped grounds
- Effortless al fresco flow, with two sets of French doors opening off the dining area and large family room to new wraparound decking that steps out to enclosed flat lawn and garden, with roses, camellias and a deluxe cedar hot tub
- Exceptional attention to detail, from the ornate wrought-iron gate matching the veranda fretwork, to the recycling of the original front door as the garage side door, to the elegant yet natural Timaru bluestone entrance
This is a unique turn-key opportunity for families seeking an easily-accessible, uncompromising rejuvenation of one of Karori’s most notable homes that’s just minutes from top schools, village shopping centres, bus routes and everything else that makes this suburb one of Wellington’s very best.
