Introducing

3 Fitzgerald Place, Karori

If you are looking for the perfect family home – then 3 Fitzgerald Ave is for you! This home is nestled in a quiet and safe cul de sac and has plenty of space for family members to spread out.

This 1970’s split level home offers two generous living spaces linked by the modern open plan kitchen as well as three bedrooms, a modern bathroom, separate toilet, large garage (currently being used a hobby/storage room), plenty of off street parking, a fully landscaped garden and all day sun. A HRV system and alarm complete the package.

This well presented home is made of Hardiplank with aluminium joinery and has a steel roof.

Move in and enjoy the fresh garden vegetables for spring - lettuce, spuds, cauliflower, cabbages & broccoli. Also enjoy the fresh fruit from strawberries, raspberries & blackberries.



Enter the property via the front door and into the generous formal lounge which offers oodles of space for for seating and other lounge furniture.

Large windows look out onto the garden and let the sun’s rays pour in from early morning. A Kent Spectra fire keeps the house cosy on those cold winter nights.

The lounge flows into the kitchen and family & the dining/casual living area.

Again there is plenty of space for a table and chairs and further couches or seating.

A computer table in the corner is a great spot to catch up on that bit of paperwork or for the kids to play on the internet while supervised.



The kitchen is the hub of the house. Modern and functional it features a Formica bench, dark blue cabinets, contemporary handles and plenty of cupboards for storage. A Fisher and Paykel oven, Dishlex dishwasher, insinkerator, built in wine rack and large corner pantry complete the package.

The kitchen is the perfect place for entertaining friends or family where the cook can be part of the party - or for the kids to do their homework while the evening meal is prepared!

A breakfast bar offers the option of more casual dining.

From the kitchen sliding aluminium doors lead out to the fully landscaped garden. Indoor living flows into outdoor with a wooden deck which is smothered in afternoon sun.



At the other end of the Living room and away from the kitchen, is a short hallway with the three bedrooms which are well positioned away from the noise of the living areas. Two of the rooms offer a built in wardrobe.

The luxurious and thick grey carpet and neutral decor extends through the house into the bedrooms and hall - the perfect backdrop to any stye of furniture of art.



Off the hallway, and well positioned near the bedrooms, is the modern bathroom and separate toilet.

The bathroom has a new and luxuriously sized Englefield spa bath with a shower unit over it. White wall tiles on the wall with a smart black edging, white vanity with storage, Xpelair and heated towel rail complete the package.

To the rear of the house is the garage which has been converted into a storage area (with beer fridge) at the front and hobby area at the back (currently themed to the Vendor’s Super 14 Teams). If required it can easily be converted back into a garage. It has a roller door and remote.

The garden follows the contour of the house up to an almost flat lawn, tree house and play area for the kids.

Private and sunny the garden is a fantastic space for the children to play or for the family to hang out on those hot sunny afternoons.



The house sits just on the edge of the Wrights Hill Reserve next to stunning native bush. Almost next door is the local park and down the road the very popular Makara Mountain bike park and newly developed Karori Park.

Well cared for and maintained the property has been owned by the same family for around 15 years. With all the hard work done just move in and enjoy this low maintenance home, easy care garden as well as the many local amenities.

Being near a main bus route – it is also great for those teenagers in the family!

Karori offers a choice of local schools, has a number of amenities including Karori Mall, the new Karori library, doctors and dentists, and it is zoned for Wellington College.

And being so close to Karori Sanctuary you also get to enjoy the trill of the Tui’s and other native birds!

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:

Wright’s 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.

Karori Medical Centre 11 Parkvale Rd, near Karori Mall. A full medical service provided by 8 GPs and 6 Practice Nurses.

Karori Dental and Podiatry Centre 146 Karori Rd, (04) 476 6451



Steve Fejos

Born in Wellington and educated at St Patrick’s College

and Victoria University in Wellington Steve entered real

estate in August 1993, having come from a background

in property management. In January 1996 Steve was

appointed Sales Manager for Challenge Realty’s Oriental

Bay Office. Within 18 months Steve took the office into

the top 10 in the Challenge Realty Group. Steve went on

to purchase three Wellington offices in October 1997.

Over the next seven years Steve was instrumental in

growing the company from a sales team of 12 to a team

of 68 sales people with 4,000 house sales worth over

1.5 billion dollars!

Shortly after Steve sold the business he was approached

by Ray White Australia and asked to restructure their

international business model so as to increase their

competitiveness with RE/MAX. At the time over 300

sales people, in Queensland alone, had left Ray White to

join RE/MAX. In the next few years Steve played a huge

part in turning around the fortunes of Ray White and

increasing the number of sales people by over 40%.

Steve returned to New Zealand in November 2005 and

took up the role of Director of Operations for RE/MAX

New Zealand. The role was to assist broker owners and

top sales people at new and established RE/MAX offices

to implement their business plans and maintain the

momentum of the fastest growing real estate company

- the RE/MAX brand, in New Zealand and Australia.

In 2006 Steve attended a wide range of leading

international industry training seminars in Denver,

Chicago and Brisbane.

After more than 400 flights during his 3 years in his

corporate career Steve decided to resign and return

to what he loves doing most - selling real estate in

Wellington.

Steve’s extensive experience in real estate spanning

local, national and international markets is a huge

benefit to his clients. This and his innovative and unique

marketing techniques is Setting a New BENCHMARQUE

in Wellington Real Estate.

Awards received

Under the LJ Hooker brand Steve was twice winner of

the National Franchise Owner of the Year Award 2000

and 2002.

Most Productive Team Award in 2001.

place, 2003: 10th place.

Testimonial

Gary Ahearn, Regional Director of RE/MAX Australasia

says, “Steve brings together a vast experience and

understanding of all facets of real estate. Having been

very successful in sales in the mid 1990’s Steve really

made his mark on real estate by establishing a very

credible and strong company under the L.J.Hooker

brand. The standards he set are still the standards some

offices are striving to attain to. However it is Steve’s

ability to relate to all people in the community which is

his outstanding strength.”
