Introducing

48 Thurleigh Grove, Karori

This well presented property, built in the 1970s, offers you the opportunity to purchase a spacious home in a popular part of Karori.

The house, split over one and a half levels, offers generous open plan living, three bedrooms, separate laundry, great sun, low maintenance section, double garage, internal access, off street parking and so much more!

Recently repainted inside and out – the colours of the walls, the quality carpet and curtains tastefully combine to make the house feel warm and comfortable.



Enter the house into a large welcoming entrance area. A few wide stairs to the right, lead up to the spacious living areas and kitchen. The living area provides oodles of room for seating and furniture - and large windows allow the sun to flood in. A sliding door from the living room provides indoor/outdoor flow to the raised deck outside. A gate at the end keeps the deck child friendly.

The living room flows into the dining space, with plenty of room for a large table, and to the kitchen. Large windows provide a great vista to the street and to the hills beyond.



The kitchen has plenty of bench and storage space, plus a Simpson oven, Robinhood extractor and Fisher and Paykel dish drawers. The window over the sink provides delightful views to the hills in the distance. The integrated kitchen means that the chef can be part of the party or can help with homework while preparing the evening meal. A door from the kitchen conveniently leads directly to the entrance area.



The bedrooms are well proportioned, the master bedroom being very spacious with a double wardrobe and plenty of space for furniture – or that TV in the bedroom and couch. Well positioned away from the noise of the living area – it is a great place to escape at the end of a busy day!

The second and third bedroom would be a dream come true for any child – beautifully decorated in bright colours and with plenty of room for all those toys! Large windows make these rooms light and airy and provide views to the garden at the rear.



Off the hall is the bathroom which offers a shower over the bath, toilet, a smart white vanity with a matching unit over it with more storage and down lighting. The black and white lino on the floor, royal blue wall, and white vanity and toilet combine to create a smart and trendy bathroom. A Skope heater and Goldair towel rail complete the package. Next the bathroom is a second toilet.

To the rear is a separate laundry with a tub and plenty of space for a washing machine and dryer. Next the laundry, the back door conveniently leads to a small timber deck and to the extendable washing line outside.



The 531m2 section is mainly presented as lawn with mature planting. The back area is fully fenced and flat – perfect for that trampoline, game of soccer or barbecue – and very private.

Alternative access to the property is via the flat drive to the double garage. The automatic door and internal access to the entrance area provide easy and safe access to the house. Perfect for the home handyman, home business or sports person – the garage has a walk-in cupboard with shelving, a very large shelf under the ceiling for storage and a built in workbench.

This home will appeal to families and couples looking for a comfortable family home in a safe suburb close to all of Karori’s amenities, including recently upgraded Karori Park, and the main bus route. 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:

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.

Setting a New BENCHMARQUE in Real Estate

I have come to Real Estate after a successful

career as a primary school teacher. As a pastime

I have enjoyed working in other service industries

as a Playcentre Supervisor, netball coach, shop

keeper, hotel receptionist, theatre usher, charity

collector, fundraiser, and volunteer at Ronald

McDonald House. Through my husband Gordon I

am involved in the Lions Club and take an active

interest in and support community activities. Living

and working in the Central, Southern and Eastern

suburbs has given me a lot of local knowledge

and makes me passionate about what these areas

have to offer. I love the Real Estate business and

the opportunity it gives me to meet and work for

people from various backgrounds and diverse

cultures. It is always a privilege to be entrusted

with the marketing and sale of a property and a

challenge to help people find satisfaction in not

just a house but a home.
