A House!

We are now the proud owners (to be!) of a lovely 4 bedroom home in Wilton, Wellington. We went through it as an open home on Sunday, & then went back for a private second viewing later that afternoon. On Monday we put in an offer, & we got a call at 9pm that night to say that our offer had been chosen out of the 4 that were presented to the vendors. We went unconditional on the property at 5pm on Friday, & the possession date is 8th January. It's all very exciting! Will can't quite believe how quickly things have happened...
The section is fantastic. It is large at 948 square metres, & has been planted up with numerous fruit trees. There is apple, pear, apricot, lemon, lime, grapefruit, tamarillo & walnut. The area near the house has been nicely paved & decked, & the bottom of the section has been terraced with concrete retaining walls. There is a shed at the bottom, & a couple of raised beds just waiting for our veges! Will has always liked pergolas, & this place has one covered in wisteria for him.

Below are some more pics. It was originally a 1940's cottage, & the current owners have added a master bedroom with walk-in wardrobe & ensuite on one end, & have extended the living areas on the other end. It has lovely views out over Otari-Wilton's Bush. It's hard to believe you are only a 10 minute drive from the CBD of a capital city!

So there you go. We are looking forward to 8th January, not only to move into the place, but also to be reunited with our 20 foot container full of belongings which is in storage at the docks!
