This charming, sun-drenched, villa has the sun pouring into the kitchen at first light, winding round the northern side in the winter (acting as central heating) onto the front in the afternoon where it pours into both the lounge and the master bedroom. In the summer the sun returns back into the dining room/kitchen before it sets.
This turn-of-the-century villa, with original features, has excellent flow and well-proportioned spacious rooms.
It is currently configured as 2 living rooms, 2 bedrooms and a study, but because of its design (as the floor plan shows), it lends itself to several configurations from 2-4 bedrooms and 1-2 living rooms. The smallest room currently works very well as a sun-drenched office, but it could easily be configured as a guest or kid’s bedroom.
With so much sun, a heat pump, a fully insulated ceiling and mostly wind sealed sash windows, this is a warm and easy to heat home.

Location:
At the north western end of Fairview Crescent, with off-street parking, this villa is ideally located for an effortless lifestyle:

Outdoor living:
The new terracing provides, unusually for Kelburn, predominantly flat outdoor spaces for easy maintenance, entertaining or for simply relaxing while enjoying the expansive views.
During a southerly, summer or winter, the protected veranda is a place to sit and bask in the warm sun. Some estimate that it can be up to 10 degrees warmer than at the back.

Storage:
The middle room contains loft access to a very large attic storage area
Situated at the back is a 7.5 mSq wooden shed for housing bicycles, tools and garden equipment.

The Opportunity to expand:
The rear of the house has extensive views of Mt Victoria, the Orongorongo Range, the South Coast, round to the Te Kopahou Reserve which is home to the Brooklyn Wind Turbine.
The unique opportunity this property offers is that there is approximately 160 mSq of undeveloped flat land, allowing you to make this your forever home in one of Wellington’s forever suburbs. Possibilities are:
• An extension including a highly specked kitchen, bathroom and laundry, all of your own design
• A stand-alone tiny house, outdoor office/studio for working from home
• A childrens’ dream play area
