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.

A lot of what we're putting in our recycling bins cannot be recycled.
Paul Evans, chief executive of waste management industry body WasteMinz, says in 2018 about 10 per cent of each Auckland household's recycling bin was "contamination" – items that people had put in hoping for the best, but which could not be recycled.

If you're in doubt whether something belongs in the recycling bin, the best practice is to simply leave it out.

The options for doing so are endless! Being kind doesn’t have to cost a thing, after all a smile is free. For those who want to go the extra mile, here’s some other ideas: Buy extra kai at the grocery store to donate to a food pantry, help someone with a broken down car or flat tire, bring treats into work for colleagues, send an encouraging text to someone who needs it, let a car into the traffic ahead of you, take a gift over to new neighbours and introduce yourself, write positive messages in chalk on sidewalks around your neighbourhood, or surprise loved ones with a visit.
This month also coincides with World Humanitarian Day on August 19th and Random Acts of Kindness Day (New Zealand) which is on September 1st.
Let us know how you’re spreading kindness in your community by tagging us in your posts + using the following hashtag so we can see what you get up to:
