OVERVIEW
Positioned at the popular city end of Karori, this character-filled home and income offer an enviable combination of character, light, privacy and lifestyle.
Currently a comfortable home and income, the original stairs are still in place if a larger home is what you are searching for. Currently, the "home" is situated upstairs and is full of warmth and charm, with beautiful natural light and a layout that feels both welcoming and practical. From native birds flitting past the windows to views across mature trees - including a striking kauri - this is a home that feels deeply connected to its surroundings. A charming sunroom adds an extra sun-soaked living space, while thoughtful upgrades over time have ensured the home is comfortable, dry and easy to live in year-round.
Downstairs, a generous one-bedroom flat provides excellent additional income or flexibility for extended family. With its own entrance, outdoor area and a delightfully funky pink kitchen, it has been consistently tenanted for many years - a testament to both its appeal and location.

- Three-bedroom main home upstairs with great light, character and privacy
- One-bedroom flat below with its own entrance and outdoor space

Excellent public transport options - with multiple bus routes nearby - make commuting to the CBD, hospital, airport or university simple and efficient.
