BEAUTIFUL SEASIDE FAMI LV RESIDENCE, with THIRTY- ; FOUR ACRES OF LAND, situ- I ateel in the Seaside Suburb of MURITAI, well known as the property of the late Mr. Thomas R. LUison. This lovely residence and its surrounding grounds overlook ono of tho most delightful sea views in the world. Nothing is more entrancing to a lover of Nature than tho combination of mountain, hity, and valley, with tho glory of the sea. In thia spot it is in special grandeur. The residence stands upon a natural plateau, surrounded with a wealth of native forest and shrubs, which literally embosom it «in beauty. In front stretches out the waters of ' Port Nicholson, gradually narrowing till they reach tho entrance to the- harbour, and then lose themsolves in the great Strait which divides tho two Islande. Tho snow-clad mountain ranges of tho South Island, tho gliding to and fro of tho vast fleet of shipping which day and night pass tho portals of Pencarrow, tho budding suburbs on tho oppoaito sido of tho harbour, the indeecribalo beauty ol the sea and sky, altogether present a never-ending picture lhat satisfies and soothes tho soul I of the most prosaic. It is in a vory special senso the ideal home of a great writer or a weary statesman. The residence is just out of the hands of tho builders, the contract having been completed since the death of Mr. Ellison. It is a most artistic creation — «a combination in one story of the bungalow and tho Italian styles of architecture; bay windows, tower, deep verandahs 10ft wido, and highly-finished decorations being somo of the leading features. Tho diningroom is 20ft x' 13ft, separated by folding doors from the drawingroom (17ft x 14ft). There arc two halls, the main hall being 13ft x 13ft. The principal bedroom is 17ft x 13ft. The kitchen, Bcullery, out-offices, etc., aro of tho most complete character. , A most pure and delightful stream of water comes from the hills at tho back of the property, a reservoir attached to it affording an unlimited supply for tho uso of the household. The great extent of land (34 acres) gives a breadth,- unity, atid completcnebS to tho property which makes it altogether exceptional. The Harbour Board have just decided to erect a wharf at Muritai, 240 ft long with a width of 3t)ft. This will not only add j to tho comfort and convenience of tho residents, but will materially increase the value of all property in Ihis progressive suburb. While tho property is for absolute sale, arrangements can be made, if req-uired, for a considerable proportion of the purchase money to be obtained on mortgage. The property is in charge of a caretaker, and tickets to inspect it cnn.be obtained on application to the Auctioneers, who will, if required, detail a member of tho staff to accompany any intending purchaser, so that a full inspection can be made. For further details, conditions of sale, title, etc., apply to the PUBLIC TRUSTEE, ° rtOtK ° AUCTIONEERS. CORNER BUILDING SECTIONS, PETONE, PETONE.
