Here’s your once-in-a-generation chance to buy a sunny, city-end Karori home with an enduring architectural legacy just metres from Marsden Village. This mid-century, single-level classic combines spacious, practical living with potential for rejuvenation on a big, flat section in the heart of Wellington’s most family-friendly suburb where it would equally suit use as a business.
Features include:
• Four double-bedrooms (one with study nook), two bathrooms, separate living and dining, a sunroom and an eat-in kitchen— so perfect for families seeking space and facilities all on one level
• Distinguished provenance, having been designed in the mid-50s by world-renowned modernist Henry (Heinrich) Kulka when he was in-house architect for Fletcher Building
• Scope to add value at your leisure while savouring Kulka’s indelible signature, most notably the spectacular green marble fireplace in the lounge
• Versatility of being an amazing, easily-accessible family home or the ideal base from which to run an accountancy business or health practice
• Fantastic, fully-fenced section that’s fully-enclosed front and back with loads of flat lawn for kids and pets to run around on
• Unbeatable location on the bus route, just minutes from village shops and cafes, pre-schools, excellent public and private schools (including Karori Normal with its swimming pool), and in the zone for some of Wellington’s best secondary schools
• Long, private, double-gated driveway for ample off-street parking plus security and convenience of a single garage (with studio) use it for storage or recreation
• Broadband in the area: Fibre, Cable, Wireless
No wonder this remarkable home hasn’t changed hands in more than 30 years. If you want to enjoy everything it offers for just as long, or capitalise on its singular location and flexibility as a business, don’t miss Sunday’s viewing.
