24 Homewood Crescent Karori, Wellington City

Much admired and known locally as "The Cottage", this charming 1930s home combines timeless character with thoughtful modern comforts, all in a sought-after, city-end Karori setting.
Original features give the home a wonderful sense of personality, from the timber floorboards and entrance-hall panelling to decorative ceilings, matching bay windows and the handsome oak-surround fireplace. These character details sit comfortably alongside modern upgrades designed for warm and easy living.

The home offers three bedrooms, including two generous doubles with complementary aspects - one welcoming the morning light and the other enjoying the late-afternoon sun. The third bedroom
provides valuable flexibility as a single bedroom, nursery, guest room or dedicated home office.

The welcoming lounge makes the most of its westerly aspect and character bay window, while the adjoining dining room features a sunny window seat with built-in storage - a lovely spot to sit with a coffee or a book. The kitchen retains appealing cottage character and connects naturally with the living and dining spaces.

Comfort is well catered for year-round, with modern uPVC double glazing and tilt-and-turn windows, central radiator heating and a smart ventilation system, making this character home as practical as it is inviting.
Outside is where The Cottage really comes into its own. A delightful garden terrace provides a private place to relax or entertain among established planting, lawn, camellias, daffodils and a beautiful weeping cherry tree. Its northerly outlook takes in the bush-clad slopes of Johnson Hill Reserve and the Skyline Track towards Mount Kaukau.

Step down into the lower garden and you'll find raised beds for herbs and vegetables, young fruit trees and, beyond them, a generous gently sloping lawn with plenty of room to enjoy the summer sun. Whether it's children playing, summer entertaining, gardening or simply enjoying the sense of space, the grounds offer possibilities that are increasingly hard to find.

There is also an impressive amount of storage, with substantial attic space, a concrete basement and a separate garage with automatic door.
Positioned in a desirable Karori street, The Cottage is within easy walking distance of Marsden Village, offers convenient access to Wellington's CBD, and is zoned for Wellington College and Wellington Girls' College.

Charming and comfortable as it stands, yet offering exciting possibilities for the future, The Cottage will appeal to a wide range of buyers - from professional couples and young families to downsizers looking for character, sun and garden without an oversized home.

For those thinking longer term, the generous landholding also offers scope to explore extending, enhancing or redeveloping the property. A character home with warmth, sun, established gardens and room to dream - The Cottage is a special Karori property ready for its next chapter.
