Listing # L36063376 | Listed on 9 October

A rare opportunity to secure a truly special property. Positioned on a sprawling 9348sqm section on the fringe of Johnston Hill Scenic Reserve, this remarkable home offers a private family sanctuary in a stunning, natural setting, all within minutes of central Karori.

A sweeping driveway framed by mature native and flowering trees creates an immediate sense of escape. The home, thoughtfully renovated by award-winning architects Novak+Middleton, combines contemporary design with a deep connection to its bush-clad surrounds. The result is a home that is stylish yet welcoming, filled with light, warmth, and comfort.

Three open-plan living areas interconnect or close off to suit the changing needs of family life. Timber flooring, floor-to-ceiling windows, and sliding doors maximise sun and showcase the stunning northwest aspect. A family-friendly galley kitchen with excellent workspace, guest WC, and a home office/study sit conveniently near the main living hub.

The lower living space flows seamlessly to generous decking, a lawn, and a heated swimming pool - perfect for summer days. Beyond, a private tennis court sits beneath the canopy of native bush, creating an idyllic setting for recreation and family gatherings.

The magnificent primary suite is filled with light and enjoys panoramic bush views, a walk-in wardrobe, and a stylish tiled ensuite. A separate sixth bedroom or large office takes in elevated views across Karori. The private bedroom wing includes a modern tiled bathroom and four additional bedrooms, all with excellent storage, three of which open directly to a sunny deck, creating the perfect teen or children's haven.

Gas radiator central heating, heated bathroom floors, a guest w/c, a laundry/utility room, single internal access garage plus carport make this home inviting yet practical. Guests will appreciate the extra parking, while children will delight in exploring their very own bush, complete with birdlife including Kereru, Kaka, and Tui.

Within easy reach of Marsden Village, the Karori shopping centre, cafes, parks, public transport and primary and secondary schools, this location offers excellent convenience while maintaining a peaceful, private setting. This property is a rare combination of space, seclusion, and architectural style - a home designed for family connection, celebration, and enjoying life surrounded by nature.

Viewing is by private appointment with Phil Mears - 021 504058
The property information will be made available to parties who register their interest after viewing.
