7 Narbada Crescent, Khandallah, Family Home for Sale
This renovated 1940’s ex-State house has come a long way – but some things don’t change – like the sunny aspect to the living room, the sheltered backyard and the quiet cul-de-sac location in the Cashmere School zone.
Built in the 1940’s by craftsmen that cared – this ex-State weatherboard and coloursteel home has been modernized to provide a comfortable home for today’s family.
Situated on a cul-de-sac this northwest facing home is warm year round. The cul-de-sac is safe for chilcren while the double garaging (with workbench) and additional off-street parking allow for plenty of visitors.
About the street access is by an easy flight of well-designed stairs, while the contour of the 693m section allows the main living areas to open out to an extensive, partly covered deck and securly fenced backyard.
Family friendly deck and backyard, securely fenced for children and pets

Downstairs Home Office / Teenage Retreat / Long-stay visitors / 4th Bedroom
This room is large with its own external entrance. It is on its own gas and power, along with the bathroom and would be ideal for a home office. As a home office its perfect because clients can visit the office without entering your home at all. There is off-street parking practially at the door as well.

Other uses for the room could include long-stay guests, rumpus room (the floor was designed for ballroom dancing – the kids won’t damage it!), home gym. You could even use this room as the home’s master bedroom with parent’s retreat at one end and effectively an en-suite bathroom.
Garage and Off-Street Parking
The property features an original double garage which also has a work bench. There is also drive on parking for 2-cars in tandem next to the garage. Visitor parking is also possible in front of the garage without impeding the neighbour’s drive. Cul-de-sac’s are great to live on but parking can be a problem sometimes – its not for this house though!
Garden
The property has approximately 692m2 of land area – which is gradually sloping northwest facing contour. The front entrance way was landscaped in around 5 years ago, and is finished in coloured concrete and render. The planting features low-maintenance natives. There is a permanent clothesline at the front of the house (not seen from the street) at the same level as the laundry.
The backyard is fully-fenced and is child and pet proof. Mature plantings ensures a private backyard. The house has access to the back deck from an original backdoor and the french doors off the open plan living. This area is partly covered to protect from Wellington’s unpredicatble weather. The rest of the backyard is gently sloping and could be developed further if a keen gardner was interested in buying the property. There is small tools shed at the top of the garden.
