Sunny family home close to Victoria University and NZ Parliament

Description

We would like a family to look after our home while we take an extended holiday in 2027. Our home is a 30-minute walk or 10-minute bus-ride to the CBD (including Victoria’s Pipitea campus and NZ Parliament). It's a 10-minute drive to the university’s Kelburn campus. It is close to the bird sanctuary Zealandia, from where the native birdlife overflows to our suburb. We are zoned for excellent public schools (Wadestown School, Wellington High, Onslow College, Wellington Girls' College, and Wellington College). Entering the front door takes you to the kitchen, dining area, lounge room, Bedroom 1 (queen bed), and Bathroom 1 (with washing machine). Downstairs are Bedroom 2 (double bed) and Bedroom 3 (two single beds or bunks), and Bathroom 2 (with dryer). All bedrooms are large. There is also a smaller fourth bedroom that we expect to be storing our things in. However, if you need an extra room, that is negotiable. The downstairs hall is wide and furnished with a large sit/stand desk and two computer screens. It is used as an office. Storage cupboards are above and below the stairs. The flooring upstairs is the original matai floorboards. Downstairs is carpet. There are heatpumps upstairs and downstairs, plus oil heaters in each bedroom. Most windows are double-glazed. The front-loading washing machine and dishwasher are Bosch. The clothes dryer is a new LG heat-pump dryer with internal plumbing. Also provided are fridge-freezer, chest freezer, various kitchen appliances, router, modem etc and wireless extenders, printer, TV, and stereo. Most of the plants in our garden are native to New Zealand. There are also vegetable gardens, a glasshouse, and lemon and apple trees. The outdoor decks and patios are on the east, north, and west sides of the house. The back lawn is on the west and the house has a lovely view facing west. There is a sheltered clothesline. This home is not suitable for people with impaired mobility, as it's down 20 steps. We have a car-pad (and car), and bike-shed at the top. It would suit up to two adults with two, three, or four children.
