<b>Turn of the Century Villa</b> This charming, sun-drenched, villa has the sun pouring into the kitchen in the early morning, before winding around the northern side in the winter, acting as central heating, onto the front where it pours into both the lounge and the master bedroom in the afternoon. In the summer the sun returns back into the dining room/kitchen before it sets. This turn of the century villa, with original features, has excellent flow and well-proportioned rooms. It is currently configured as 2 living rooms, 2 bedrooms and a study, but because of its design, as the floor plan shows, it lends itself to several configurations from 2-4 bedrooms and 1-2 living rooms. The smallest room currently works very well as a sun-drenched office, but it could easily be configured as a guest or kid's bedroom. With so much sun, a heat pump, a fully insulated ceiling and mostly wind sealed sash windows, this is a warm and easy to heat home. <b>Location</b> With off-street parking, at the north western end of Fairview Crescent, this villa is ideally located for an effortless lifestyle. • The CBD is just a 30 minute walk, a 10 minute bus trip or a quick five minute taxi ride away • Public transport is in abundance. There is a bus stop at the western end of Fairview Crescent and a 7 minute walk to the Karori Tunnel Stop provides multiple public and dedicated school buses. The Cable Car is a very pleasant 12 minute walk. • The Kelburn Village, just a 7 minute stroll, has a variety of local social establishments for you to enjoy: a wine bar, a restaurant, several caffes/takeaways and the Kelburn Village Pub • The Kelburn 4 Square is thoughtfully stocked for the catering to the 'last minute' needs of the Kelburnite lifestyle • The reputable Kelburn Normal School is a 5 minute walk and Zealandia Te Māra a Tāne Wildlife Refuge is approximately 10 minutes' walk <b>Outdoor living</b> The new terracing provides, unusually for Kelburn, predominantly flat outdoor spaces for easy maintenance, entertaining and for simply enjoying the expansive views. During a southerly, summer or winter, the protected frontage is a place to sit and bask in the warm sun. Some estimate that the veranda can be up to 10 degrees warmer than at the back. <b>Storage</b> The middle room contains loft access to a very large attic storage area Situated at the back is a 7.5 Ms wooden shed for housing bicycles, tools and garden equipment. <b>The Opportunity to expand</b> The rear of the house has extensive views of Mt Victoria, the Orongorongo Range, the South Coast, round to the Te Kopahou Reserve which is home to the Brooklyn Wind Turbine. The unique opportunity this property offers is that there is approximately 160 MS of undeveloped flat land, allowing you to make this your forever home in one of Wellington's forever suburbs. This land could be used for any of: • An extension including a well specked kitchen, bathroom and laundry • A stand-alone tiny house, outdoor office/studio • A childrens' dream play area • A beautifully landscaped garden for you to enjoy during the northerly days • An extensive vegie garden
