Striking in design and drenched in history, 372 Karori Road is a stunning and timeless character home and offers a once in a lifetime opportunity to secure your forever home. Known as Chesney Wold, this isn't just a home, it's a piece of Wellington's history.

Immaculately presented throughout and brimming with character, this incredible family home features four generously sized double bedrooms (including master with stylish ensuite & walk in wardrobe) as well as multiple elegant and private living spaces, a lovely open plan living and dining space with chef's kitchen, drive on access, immaculately maintained garden spaces and so much more.
