Stunning, History-Rich Forever Home

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.

At its heart is a functional layout that just works. The bottom level features generous living spaces that flow easily for family life, with an open plan kitchen and dining area designed for gathering, while the top floor features the four bedrooms and study, as well as multiple private decks; the perfect layout for privacy and family living.

Despite maintaining a modern feel for everyday family living, the property features all the best of character charm with large sash windows for natural light, beautiful handcrafted decorative fretwork and a high stud height throughout that offers a sense of luxury and will make your heart flutter.

Meticulously and tastefully renovated, the vendors have spared no expense in maintaining the home for decades to come and the new owner will enjoy the benefits of full exterior and interior repainting work completed, reroofing, full bathroom and kitchen renovations, double glazing and so much more, with a full list available on request.

One of the earliest homes built in Karori and known as Chesney Wold, this beautiful property was built by the first Mayor of Karori, Stephen Lancaster, and was later the childhood home of Katherine Mansfield.

More features of this move-in ready home include:

• Fantastic heating on offer with central heating, open fireplace and double glazing throughout the property.

• Originally built in 1866, one of Wellington's earliest homes!

• Solid and well maintained weatherboard cladding plus new steel roof installed in 2023, including solar panels and battery for energy efficiency.

• Well positioned for fantastic sun and light.

• Drive on access for multiple carparks, plus covered double carport with EV charging installed.

• Separate laundry as well as so much storage throughout the home.

• Established and well maintained gardens, with garden shed and multiple decks.

While the current vendors have absolutely loved living and raising a family here, they are ready to pass this gem on to the next family. This is the dream home and an opportunity for you to be the next custodians of such a special property.
