26 Collier Avenue Karori, Wellington City

There's something rather lovely about this 1960s weatherboard home. Elevated, sunny and tucked into a leafy setting, it has a wonderfully relaxed feel......and a few good ideas up its sleeve for the next owner.

The layout is practical and well proportioned, with three generous double bedrooms, good wardrobe storage and a light-filled living room where north facing, floor-to-ceiling picture windows make the most of the excellent all-day sun. The open-plan kitchen and dining nook provide a natural hub for everyday family life, while a bathroom with bath and shower, separate toilet and separate laundry add to the practicality.

Downstairs, a large, fully lined room offers exciting future potential, including the possibility of creating internal access and further developing the space. There is also a basement workshop and a drive-on garage.

Outside, the outlook is a real highlight. Elevated above the surrounding landscape, the home enjoys a private, leafy bush setting alive with birdlife. The sheltered, mature garden is well established and offers a lovely sense of privacy.

For buyers looking for a home they can improve and make their own, this is a great opportunity. The bones are here, the setting is special, and the potential is significant.

The location is wonderfully convenient, and incredibly central with the mall, park, and bus services all just minutes away. Schools are within easy walking distance, the property is zoned for sought-after local schools and colleges, and the city is an easy commute.

A little bit retro, wonderfully sunny, quietly tucked away and full of possibility. One for buyers who like their homes to have a bit of personality....and a project or two in the wings.
