Introducing

26 Ponsonby Road Karori

Wow – from the moment you drive up the drive you will know this property is special! Located at the city end of Karori, Ponsonby Road is a fantastic opportunity for a builder, investor or family looking for more space. Upgrade and update or separate into two units (subject to council consent at the time of application) in one of the most desirable streets in Karori – this is a great buy!

No 26 combines great sun, views, oodles of character, tasteful decor, open plan living, four good sized bedrooms, good sized kitchen and two bathrooms, sunny decks, outside brick barbeque, a single garage at roadside and a double garage with internal access, good off street parking, low maintenance garden and so much more!

The house is situated at the top of the driveway at the rear of the elevated section and offers delightful views over Northland and out to the city and harbour. East facing, the house enjoys great sun from morning to late in the day.

Gorgeous natural timber floors, timber doors and windows, brass door knobs and latches and lead lights are all reminders of the workmanship of yesteryear.

Warm colours in the walls and curtains tone tastefully with the timber and neutral sisal-look carpet.

Enter the house via the double garage on the lower level or by the timber stairs up the right side of the property, to a sunny paved area and the front door. Enter into an open plan living space at the heart of the lower level. A couple of steps lead down to more living space with a gorgeous curved wall at the front with attractive windows running from the floor to the ceiling. Plenty of room for furniture and seating and a great space to entertain or enjoy a night at home with the family!



A Rinnai log burner keeps this space warm and cosy on cold winter days. The flue from the log burner extends up through the ceiling and warms the bedroom above. Large French doors open from the lower living area, extend living to a paved, private courtyard outside with brick fireplace/barbeque . A fabulous spot to cook those sausages with friends on a warm summer night.

Stairs up from this level feature smart brick tiles on one of the landings and in the wall!

Spacious living space with doors to extend living to outside!



On the upper level is the open plan kitchen and dining space both flooded with oodles of natural light from large windows. The carpeted dining area has plenty of space for a good size table and chairs. Next to it is a delightful sun room with doors that open to a spacious timber deck which stretches across the front of the house.

The kitchen on the west side of the property oozes character and warmth. A timber bench, windows, breakfast bar for more casual dining and timber and glass pantry doors, combine with the modern conveniences of a wall oven, convector hobs and dishwasher.

Open plan kitchen and dining flooded with sun and light



Just off the kitchen is a separate laundry which offers plenty of space, a tub and some storage. A door leads to the paved rear garden and extendable washing line.

Just inside the short hallway by the kitchen, is the upstairs bathroom with a timber lined bath, timber vanity, shower unit and toilet. The natural timber floors tones with the warm yellow on the wall. This room has a Skope heater.

The house has four good sized bedrooms which are all carpeted. Two of the bedrooms are on the lower level (see below) and are off the living space.

The first bedroom has a double wardrobe with timber doors and a space for the bed framed in timber with smart recessed lighting. French doors open to a sunny deck and offer delightful views towards the city. Gorgeous full length curtains and a stylish curtain iron rod complete the package.

The second bedroom on the lower level is also spacious and has two smaller built in wardrobes and built in space for the bed, recessed lights, a roman blind and is painted in warm yellow.

Expansive views out to Northland, the city and harbour



The two bedrooms on the upper level are also well presented and have built in wardrobes. The master bedroom has French doors that open to the deck at the front of the house. This room is kept warm and cosy with the flue that extends up from the downstairs log burner.

The fourth bedroom is similarly presented and has two windows, one with a roman blind and the other with full length drapes.

An expansive deck across the front of the house connects to the sun room and master bedroom and is a delightful spot to enjoy great sun and fabulous views.

The lower level bathroom cleverly incorporates the curved theme in the living space with a curved white vanity and shower unit and curved timber feature with lighting over the vanity. The toilet has a timber seat and lid. The bathroom is fresh and smart and enjoys good natural light. Glass bricks complete the look.

The 509m2 section is low maintenance. At the front of the section is a single garage at street level with a sloping lawn behind it.

Four spacious and well presented bedrooms



Smart main bathroom with curved vanity and shower

Mature planting provides privacy from the neighbours. At the top of the timber steps from the drive is a paved sunny area outside the front door, with a built in brick fireplace/barbeque. To the rear of the house is a paved flat space with a raised garden with mature native planting. A lovely private spot for that morning coffee while listening to the merry chortle of the tuis! Concrete steps on the north side of the property provide access to the rear of the house.

The property has an outstanding Code of Compliance from the original alteration some years ago (WCC inspection list and requirements with photos are available from the Marketing Specialists) .

This is a great property for a builder, who understands modern building requirements, investor looking for an investment opportunity or family looking for a property with more space.

Situated at the city end of Karori, only 15 minutes from the CBD and Victoria University, close to Karori’s amenities, a major bus route and Zealandia, this is a great location! Ponsonby Road is zoned for Wellington Boys College and Wellington Girls College. Don’t delay.

The suburb of Karori

Karori is the largest suburb in Wellington. It is situated in the hills west of and behind the city’s centre, just an easy 10 minute drive from central Wellington. Karori is surrounded by hills with many houses built on these hills. Several embassies are based in Karori.

People love living in Karori - it has a very strong sense of community. Karori offers an extensive range of community organisations as well as a new library, children’s parks and playgrounds, new swimming pool complex, several schools, childcare facilities, sports venues, golf course, religious institutions, cafes and restaurants as well as two shopping centres. It is well serviced by the dental and medical profession. There is an excellent public transport system with buses running regularly to and from the city.

The actual name Karori is derived from the Maori “Karore” meaning snare ropes and the area was well known to the Maori as a bird trapping area.

Karori is home to a number of attractions:

Wrights Hill is at the top of one of the Karori hills and is lovely to visit on a clear day with its view across Karori and all the way out to the Wellington Harbour. You can also view where the large guns were installed in 1944 to protect the approx 6,500 people that then inhabited Karori. These guns were big enough to attack any war-ships approaching Wellington. The guns were not fired until trial shots in 1946, and were never fired again. They were sold to Japan in 1960.

Towards the end of Karori is Makara, which is basically farmland and a pebbled seashore - which is almost always deserted. Also located here is the Makara Peak Mountain bike Park, which started construction in 1998 and now has over 20kms of graded tracks.

At the entrance to Karori is the Karori Wildlife Sanctuary which was opened in 2000 and provides a pest free habitat for New Zealand’s wildlife. It offers some lovely picnic spots and walking tracks and the opportunity to get close to nature and discover some rare species of birds that are native to New Zealand.

Karori Village also boasts the wonderful Karori Centre with its new and modern two storey library and community centre including the Arobake cafe which is a popular place for locals to meet.

Karori Park RedevelopmentCompleted in 2007, the $4.4 million redevelopment of Karori Park included the moving of the stream to the western boundary, development of the sports ground, an upgrade of the pavillion, all weather track, improved parking and children’s park. The park is now Wellington’s largest sports field and flat open recreational space.

Shopping CentreKarori Shopping Mall Includes a Woolworths and New World supermarket plus a number of other shops and Pharmacy. Marsden Village (city end) Includes a number of service and fashion shops.

CommunityKarori Public Library, 247 Karori Rd Newly renovated library including Arobake Cafe.
