52 Burgess Road, Johnsonville
Timeless Character + Stunning Gardens? YIP!
First time on the market in 30+ years! Stepping onto this property, you're instantly reminded of a gentler, more grounded time. As one of Johnsonville's original homes - even appearing in historic photographs of the town - this is a place with real stories to tell. The gardens set the tone with beautiful established landscaping, a goldfish pond and an old school smoker ready for slow Sunday afternoons. A majestic totara tree approaching its 100th birthday brings the yard alive with native birdsong from local tui and kereru. The section itself is something truly special: expansive, and spread across two, functional, flat terraces. You would never have guessed this was in the heart of Johnsonville.

Inside you are wrapped in the warmth of nostalgia and flanked with beautiful timber trims. Upstairs offers all the main bedrooms, plenty of living space, two areas for dining and a collection of cosy nooks just begging for a good book and a quiet moment. It's a home designed for lingering, lounging, long meals and has created generational memories for the owners.

Downstairs offers a real bonus. With a separate toilet, a separate shower room, and a spacious laundry area, the layout is refreshingly practical, offering maximum efficiency for busy households. The giant rumpus, leading into the internal access garage, has potential to create a self-contained space, thanks to its own external access. It's ideal for teenagers wanting independence, extended family, guests, or even exploring options for a home business / income. This home is a rare find that delivers an incredible lifestyle and endless space to enjoy.

85 Miramar Avenue, Miramar
Central Miramar? YIP!
If you've lived in the area long enough, you'll know that this location is simply superb! Positioned a short walk away from everything Miramar has to offer, you'll love the convenience and lifestyle that comes with being in central Miramar. You'll love making Park Kitchen your local, wander down to Chocolate Frog for a coffee, or catch a movie at the beautiful Roxy Cinemas. If you are moving to Wellington from out of area, this property is located close to Weta workshops, Park Road Studios, Wellington Airport and other major employers.

The owners have loved this 1920's classic bungalow for decades, and it is now time to downsize/retire. This sets up the perfect opportunity for the next owner to come in, make this place home and love it for decades more! What I love most about these classic style homes, is the timber charm and stylistic features that remind you of simpler times. With tasteful modernisations, you have the opportunity to add value over time. There is also a small study nook / office space adjacent to the living room. The carport space provides a great enclosed space and the garage is a wonderful size for storage or you could even turn it into a workshop/office.

Oh and if you are Ories fans, you'll be able watch the matches from over the fence!
