6 Richmond Avenue Karori, Wellington City

Here's a charming home that offers remarkable value in a lovely setting handy to the heart of family-friendly Karori.

Pristine and practical, it's perfect for first-time buyers and young families who want space to grow.

The superbly-maintained three-bedroom house combines the enduring appeal of its '30s weatherboard-and-tile construction with a versatile garage, built in the same style, that includes the bonus of a studio or sleepout.

What's more, they're set amid 588sqm of lawn and trees, where there's plenty of room for kids to kick a ball or ride a bike while you unwind under the cover of the glazed BBQ courtyard at the rear.

And the privileged east-west aspect means the 120sqm residence basks in sun all year round.

It streams into the lounge and two of the double-bedrooms from first light while the dining room and third bedroom soak it up until late in mid-summer.

Such is the spaciousness of the master bedroom that there's potential to add an ensuite to complement the modernised bathroom, with its shower-over-bath, vanity and toilet.

The interior is beautifully presented for comfortable living. It retains some of the hallmarks of its era - mosaic tile front steps, decorative feature ceiling - while modernising where it matters.

Most rooms have been retrofitted with double-glazing and as well as panel heating and an HRV system, there's a heat pump in the light-filled lounge.
Quality lighting abounds and the windows are smartly dressed.

The vintage kitchen is a nostalgic delight that's still fully functional but with scope to add value at your leisure if you wish upgrade or remodel.

There's also the convenience of a separate laundry while the studio off the garage offers so many lifestyle options: a sleep-out, home gym, music room, hobbies space … or simply the chance to work from home free of household distractions.

The single-level house is easily-accessible for all ages and stages, and is just a short stroll from Karori West and St Teresa's Schools, Karori Park's playground and sports fields, and the bus stops on Karori Rd for effortless commuting.
