73 Sunshine Avenue Karori, Wellington City

Thoughtfully transformed with a playful mid-century edge, this is a home that has kept its soul while getting a seriously good modern makeover.

West-facing and wrapped in greenery and sun, the home is drenched in afternoon light, with warm timber, an earthy palette, bush outlooks and views towards Makara Peak.

The layout is made for real life. Two generous double bedrooms, separate studio/office, brilliant open-plan living, a beautifully designed bathroom and a kitchen that deserves attention. Clever storage, plenty of bench space and a separate walk in utility room with provision for a beer tap. Yes, really.

Add to the list ducted heat pump, underfloor heating in the bathroom, and instant boiling tap in the kitchen as some of the modern comforts.

And outside? Even better.

Two decks, a generous garden, pizza oven, patio, raised veggie beds, 2 storage sheds and chicken coop. There is room for kids to run, grow things, make noise, make friends, and eventually, grow into the house with you.

Warm, clever, slightly quirky and seriously cool. A home with character, sunshine and plenty of life left to live. This one has personality. We can't wait to show you through.
