Private Deadline Sale: 19a Everton Terrace, Kelburn
See TradeMe Property for more details (ID: GJI384), or go to: www.trademe.co.nz...
If you like to work from home, or walk to work in the city, this charming home is perfect for you. With a glorious bush view and abundant bird life it’s hard to believe this haven is only a few minutes’ walk away from The Terrace. And the cable car is close by to take you down to the Lambton Quay shops, up to Kelburn Village, or the Botanic Garden.
This 1890s villa has been lovingly renovated in keeping with the era, and systematically maintained. All the hard work is done (re-piling, re-wiring, re-lining, re-plumbing, re-roofing, re-glazing, under floor and ceiling insulation, venting, storage, painting and polishing) so that you can relax and enjoy the convenience and ambiance. But there’s still scope to make it your own. You can decide to retain the dining room, giving you an expansive entertaining space; revert it to a third double bedroom; or make it your generous office. The open plan kitchen/lounge/dining/conservatory space leads to French doors flowing to a large private and sunny deck.
The master bedroom gets all day sun, and has an ensuite and dressing room. Across the delightful hallway there’s an equally generous second bedroom, and further down the hall there’s a large family bathroom and laundry. Off-street parking is conveniently available alongside the front porch, for up to 3 vehicles; and this single-storey property could easily be made wheelchair accessible down the west side of the house. For the cook in the family there is an established kitchen garden; and for the handy-person a workshop.
Features include a 13-foot stud with large double sash windows that let in abundant light, polished Matai flooring, Kauri doors, a heat recovery ventilation system, reticulated real flame gas fire, gas hob and water heating, and ultrafast broadband cabling.
Over the past 20 years we’ve made this unique villa a cherished home, but it’s time to find new custodians. We are selling privately by deadline sale, and are seeking tenders by 7 pm on 15 August. No real estate agents.

DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
