119 Messines Road Karori, Wellington City

This elegant residence enjoys a cohesive and generous layout with four bedrooms, all on the same level, formal living and separate dining room with flow to designer kitchen and additional family living room. From here, you are invited out to the sun-drenched terrace where you can unwind and enjoy the enchanting garden, complete with established planting, manicured hedging and a pretty glass house. There's two bathrooms (master with ensuite) plus a downstairs WC, and a large separate laundry.

With perhaps the best harbour views we've witnessed, all day sun, privacy, and its special positioning next to Zealandia, this home feels like a true sanctuary.

Modernised for contemporary living yet retaining the considerable 1930s charisma with features such as native timber flooring and pretty sash windows with striped awnings.

For convenience, there's central heating and drive on access to a garage that fits two cars, and a turning area. There's ample storage in the adjoining workshop or in the attic loft area, complete with pull down stairs.

You will love the proportions, abundance of light and sense of calm and quality throughout.

Sitting proudly on its site, you are a few minute's walk from Gipps Street. A number of good schooling options are on offer and the bus stop is close by.

The current family have loved living here for over 30 years, and now is the time for them to downsize. This is truly a special home to share with friends and family.

Tender closing 1pm Thursday 12 March at 136 Karori Road
