PLISCHKE-ESQUE DELIGHT!
Nestled in the bush at the quiet end of the street, is this adorable three-bedroom home, built in 1961, and featuring those mid-century features so beloved by enthusiasts of the period as well as those who value good craftsmanship alike. As is typical from New Zealand's foremost early exponent of modernist architecture, the simple box-like forms, sublime picture windows, timber floors and near-flat roof (which is brand-spanking new!) are faithfully retained. Sited perfectly for sun and valley views, this is a small (approximately 105 m², source: Property Guru) but neatly and elegantly proportioned home. Upstairs you'll find the separate living room (which opens via sliders to a pretty lawn and garden) and the open plan, well-renovated kitchen and dining room. The oversized floor-to-ceiling windows (which have been re-built in the same, traditional style) simply flood the room with light and sun. Downstairs there are three small double bedrooms and the original bathroom (combined with laundry) and a separate w/c. Easy to see how a refurbishment here could be an enjoyable future project. The extensive rock terrace gardens have been wonderfully planted, and there's also a sizeable basement space that is extremely useful storage. Zealandia being so close, you'll marvel at the kaka, tui and other native birds that frequent the garden; there's a walkway a few houses away down to the bus stop below, and being city-end Karori, you've easy access to all the parks, schools and shops of both Karori or the CBD. Our owners have now bought so sadly but proudly leave their delightful home. This is a wonderful opportunity to own a little piece of Wellington architectural history and continue the tradition of maintaining and improving on the legacy. Builder's report and LIM will be available.
