7 Lochiel Road, Khandallah, Wellington, Wellington

Elevated from the street, nestled in a secluded rear section with classic fittings, unmistakable style, this property is a fabulous family home accompanied by a separate cottage.

Walking distance to the popular Khandallah village, with its supermarket, cafes, pub, chemist and other retail stores. Box Hill and Khandallah train stations are a five minute walk, as are the local schools and kindergartens, medical centre and mechanic workshop.

Built Circa 1913, this home boasts many original fittings. Other finishings like the classic hardwood floor in the family room, pressed tin ceiling in the bathroom, glass art deco light fittings, high timber skirting, solid native timber doors and leadlight windows provide a real sense of charm – balanced with the more recent architectural renovations.

The home features 3 bedrooms, bathroom, open plan lounge, family room with sliding door leading to an opulent kitchen, butler's pantry and courtyard. Programmable radiators throughout, underfloor heating in kitchen, hallway and bathroom, and a cosy wood-burner for those Wellington winter nights. A convenient internal vacuum system services the house and garage. Internal stairs up to a large walk-in attic space and a large internal double 62 sqm garage with plenty of off-street parking.

The real star of the show here off the new entranceway is the designer kitchen with butler’s pantry, built-in seating; Miele convention and steam ovens, warming drawer, induction and gas hob, wine fridge and bespoke lighting. Double ranch sliders, with motorised windows above open out to a 37 sqm courtyard with outdoor fire highlighted by a Purple Heart timber pergola and exterior feature lighting.

The indoor-outdoor flow here is superb and brings opportunities for entertaining between the kitchen and the impeccably finished courtyard overlooking the well-appointed garden.

A stand-alone cottage comes with bathroom, kitchenette and laundry fixtures would make a wonderful space for intergenerational living, a boarder, office or hobby space.

The garden offers a relaxing city getaway, thoughtfully planted out including the driveway lined with European hornbeams, as well as glass house and raised gardens.

This is a property that has to be experienced: a spacious, secluded, and truly unique home in one of the most prized streets in Khandallah.
