A GRAND VILLA BEYOND COMPARE

Seldom, if ever, can you buy a luxurious Victorian villa of this scale and distinction in such a private, peaceful, picturesque setting just metres from boutique shops and cafes. Tucked away behind secure electric gates in the heart of blue-chip Karori, on virtually a quarter-acre of landscaped bliss, this is the ultimate city-fringe home.

Features include:

- Versatility of 4-5 double-bedrooms with built-in wardrobes and two opulent bathrooms, one with a claw-foot bath, the other a Carrara marble semi-ensuite for the master

- Fastidiously and faithfully renovated for the best of past and present, where stunning original features, including high timber ceilings, bay windows and stained matai floorboards, mesh seamlessly with sophistication and comfort

- Superbly configured for formal entertaining and family living, from the captivating lounge that flows to the elegant dining room and farmhouse kitchen, to the sumptuous media room that's an audio-video oasis

- Optimised for year-round warmth, complete with four fireplaces (two wood, two gas), gas-vented heating, and double-glazing where it counts

- Generously proportioned and sublimely appointed, including exquisite window seats, an antique French chandelier, vintage maid's bells, and floor-to-ceiling French doors to a sunny, sheltered deck where you can BBQ in leafy seclusion

- Conveniently located next to Marsden Village and bus routes but safely set back from the road, on a securely fenced 940sqm^ sanctuary of birdsong and serenity with ample parking and an oversized garage next to a deluxe wine cellar

- Zoned for Wellington's best schools and colleges, with the bonus of gated access to Samuel Marsden Collegiate

No wonder this exceptional, essentially single-level residence is for sale for just the first time in 28 years. If you're looking for a home with heart and soul in a family-friendly location that's second-to-none, this is an unrivalled showcase to cherish.

Deadline Sale (Unless Sold Prior) Closes 12pm, Thursday 12th March 2026 at 2/153 Karori Road, Wellington
