Tucked quietly away on one of Karori's most distinguished streets, this is a home you would never know is there, and that is part of its magic.

Set back from Homewood Avenue, a street renowned for its beautiful homes and the British High Commission, a pretty private driveway leads you gently into an entirely unexpected world. Sheltered, sunny and beautifully private, the setting is quite simply one of the prettiest we have seen.

The home immediately welcomes you with character and warmth. A stunning entranceway creates a strong sense of arrival and cleverly links the hallway and main living spaces. From here, the house opens out to enjoy the north west outlook, excellent natural light and all-day sun.

The main living room flows seamlessly to a deck and into the established garden beyond, a space made for relaxed entertaining, or simply listening to the birdsong. An interconnecting dining room leads through to a thoughtfully renovated kitchen, ensuring everyday living and hosting feel effortless and connected.

The floorplan is generous and flexible. There are four bedrooms in total, including a master with ensuite, plus a dedicated home office. Downstairs, an additional living area offers excellent separation. Ideal for teenagers, guests or quiet retreat, it has the bonus of an adjoining conservatory and/or kitchenette space.

Practicality has been carefully considered. Internal-access double garaging, ample off-street parking and easy turning space make daily life simple, while still preserving the home's sense of privacy and calm.

Outside, the garden is a true highlight: fully fenced and wonderfully private, with a sweeping flat lawn and established planting. It is a place that feels protected, peaceful and deeply connected to nature - yet remains just moments from the heart of Karori.

Zoned for the colleges and just steps from Marsden Village and bus stops, this will appeal to families wanting to be part of this suburb.

Hidden yet central, refined yet soulful, elegant yet entirely liveable.
