Private Deadline Sale: 19a Everton Terrace, Kelburn
See TradeMe Property for more details (ID: GJI384), or go to: www.trademe.co.nz...
If you like to work from home, or walk to work in the city, this charming home is perfect for you. With a glorious bush view and abundant bird life it’s hard to believe this haven is only a few minutes’ walk away from The Terrace. And the cable car is close by to take you down to the Lambton Quay shops, up to Kelburn Village, or the Botanic Garden.
This 1890s villa has been lovingly renovated in keeping with the era, and systematically maintained. All the hard work is done (re-piling, re-wiring, re-lining, re-plumbing, re-roofing, re-glazing, under floor and ceiling insulation, venting, storage, painting and polishing) so that you can relax and enjoy the convenience and ambiance. But there’s still scope to make it your own. You can decide to retain the dining room, giving you an expansive entertaining space; revert it to a third double bedroom; or make it your generous office. The open plan kitchen/lounge/dining/conservatory space leads to French doors flowing to a large private and sunny deck.
The master bedroom gets all day sun, and has an ensuite and dressing room. Across the delightful hallway there’s an equally generous second bedroom, and further down the hall there’s a large family bathroom and laundry. Off-street parking is conveniently available alongside the front porch, for up to 3 vehicles; and this single-storey property could easily be made wheelchair accessible down the west side of the house. For the cook in the family there is an established kitchen garden; and for the handy-person a workshop.
Features include a 13-foot stud with large double sash windows that let in abundant light, polished Matai flooring, Kauri doors, a heat recovery ventilation system, reticulated real flame gas fire, gas hob and water heating, and ultrafast broadband cabling.
Over the past 20 years we’ve made this unique villa a cherished home, but it’s time to find new custodians. We are selling privately by deadline sale, and are seeking tenders by 7 pm on 15 August. No real estate agents.
Male singers
If you like singing and have a male voice then this might be a good choir for you to join. You don't need to audition to join the Wellington Male Voice Choir but the harder we all sing, the better it'll sound. Rehearsals are mostly in Tawa on Monday evenings.
⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️
It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:
👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️
