Cross the bridge, leave the world behind and arrive at your own peaceful piece of paradise.

Surrounded by a beautiful flower garden and tucked into a wonderfully private, sanctuary-like setting, this charming weatherboard home feels a world away from the city, yet Karori is right on your doorstep.

With four bedrooms and plenty of flexibility, this is a home that packs a punch. The open-plan living area is warm and inviting, the renovated kitchen is beautifully practical, and the generous family bathroom has been thoughtfully updated. There's also a separate self-contained studio; ideal as a home office or creative space.

Outside, the garden is a real highlight. Established, colourful and wonderfully peaceful, it's the kind of place where you can potter among the flowers, enjoy a morning coffee or simply switch off.

There's a garage, off-street parking and plenty of practical appeal, while the Makara Mountain Bike Park is just down the road. Karori Park, the local school bus and everyday amenities are all within easy reach.

Rural in feel, wonderfully convenient in reality, this is a home with heart, privacy and a little bit of magic.
