Overview

A Hidden Karori Sanctuary

OPEN HOME IS SUNDAY ONLY 11.15am - 12.15pm Tucked away amongst the trees, 23 Curtis Street feels like a world of its own. From the moment you arrive, there is a sense that everything slows down. Surrounded by established greenery and cherry blossoms, birdsong and incredible privacy, this is the kind of property where tui call from the trees, kereru swoop overhead and you can easily forget just how close you are to the city. Inside, the home offers two bedrooms along with a modernised kitchen and bathroom, making it comfortable and easy to enjoy from day one. The living spaces sit beautifully within the natural surroundings, looking out across the greenery and creating that constant connection with the outdoors. There is something incredibly special about waking up here, opening the doors, listening to the birds and having nothing but green around you. Adding even more versatility is a separate sleepout, ideal for guests, working from home or simply having a little extra space away from the main house. With its own external access, the basement area offers another incredibly useful space. Think hobby room, yoga retreat, art studio, reading room or creative hideaway. There is also plenty of room for storage, giving you somewhere for all those extra bits and bobs you never quite know where to put. For anyone who loves gardening, the grounds are a dream. There is space to potter, plant, grow and create, with established trees providing a beautiful backdrop and plenty of opportunity for the next owner to make the garden their own. Wander down through the section and it only becomes more peaceful, with the stream below adding another layer to what is already a truly unique setting. For those who may be considering a tiny home or additional dwelling, there is certainly space to explore the idea. Any future development would be subject to Council approval, and buyers are encouraged to complete their own due diligence. This isn't manicured suburbia. It is private, established and wonderfully wild in all the right ways. A place for morning coffees in the garden, long afternoons outside and evenings where the only interruption is the sound of the birds. Properties with this much land, privacy and personality are increasingly hard to find, particularly this close to central Wellington. 23 Curtis Street is more than a home. It is your own little pocket of Karori, hidden amongst the trees, where time really does seem to stand still.
