Perched next to Zealandia

This nirvana of birdsong and nature is a breathtaking city-fringe sanctuary for busy families who want to wake up to harbour views and kaka on the deck.

Tucked away at the end of a shared private driveway in one of Karori's best streets, it's perched next to Zealandia for the ultimate in scenery, greenery and serenity.

Built in the 1950s, this 190sqm split-level haven combines modernist charm and functional family living with the versatility of four double-bedrooms, light-filled open-plan living, gas central heating and an indelible indoor-outdoor connection.

Two sets of French doors open from the airy living and dining areas to a wraparound deck where the vista sweeps over spectacular native bush, with tuis in the treetops, to the city and waterfront, across Oriental Bay and Mount Victoria to the Miramar Peninsula, and even out to Lyall Bay.

With Pencarrow and the Orongorongos as the backdrop, where better to watch the sun rise with the dawn chorus or swoon over moonlight on the harbour?

The view's just as captivating from the kitchen, with its AEG appliances and woodgrain cabinetry, and the master bedroom suite, where there's a brand new, superbly-designed ensuite and a walk-in wardrobe.

The beautifully tiled bathroom, with its Infinity gas hot water, separate shower and standalone bath, is perfect for young families and within easy reach of the other double-bedrooms (one of which includes a study nook).

The fourth bedroom is on the ground floor, where it opens to glazed decking and could be used for another living room, rumpus space or a work-from-home retreat away from the rest of the household - complete with an adjoining basement that has vintage wine cellar potential.

There's also scope to capitalise on the blue-chip location with further landscaping or cladding the underside of the house to create extra storage.

Otherwise, you can just immerse yourself in the natural splendour of the surroundings, where a rustic bridge leads to a treehouse that kids of all ages will want to claim as their own.

Add the convenience of drive-on to an oversized garage with an auto door, and you have a truly remarkable property that's as unique as it is relaxing and inspirational.

Where else could you feel so removed from the rest of the world while being on the doorstep of everything that makes Karori so sought-after, from school zones and community facilities to not one but two village shopping centres?

If you want to live in your own mini-Zealandia, this is the roost to rule them all.
