It was built within tho past four years from the plans and under the supervision of a well-known architect, and that period has proved it to bo one of the best most complete, and faithfully constructed residences in tho colony. It is roofed with Marseilles tiles, and fitted throughout with electric light, electric bolls, hot and cold water, and ali high-class labour-saving adjuncts. The land consists of over four acres of first-class soil, capablo of growing in j luxuriance every variety of garden produce. It has the auvantago of being traversed by two/ streams of water, one of which takes its rise in a splendid sprina situated in a charming clump of bush near the property, is conveyed to a reservoir, thence by pipes to tho residence and grounds, whero it gives a magnificent .supply of the purest drinking water. The grounds aro laid out as cioquet ground, [ tennis .court, lawn, ornamental garden, and kitchen garden. Many hundreds of valuablo trees and ehruba have been planted with great success. Not tho least of the many attractivo features is tho natural bush at the back of tho property, whero many of tho beautiful variety of trees, shrubs, and ferns indigenous to tho district will be found. For subdivisicnal purposes tho land is extremely well adapted. It has a frontage to two of the principal streets. Friend-street and Hatlon-street, both of which are lighted by the Karori Borough with electric light. The property as a whole i 3 ono of tho finest in the suburbs of Wellington. _ It commands a series of the most beautiful landscape pictures of hill and dale — views which can never bo built out — while from the back of tho property the glorious panoraiaa of Cook Strait and Iho snowclad Kaikouras is always in evidence. The Bowling Green, Tennis Courts, and Golf Links of tho various clubs arc close to tho property, and the mansion and extensive grounds of the Hon. C. J. Johnston, DI.L.C, adjoin it. To those who desire a quite exceptional irnd valuable suburban family residence, with extensive grounds in the midst of charming surroundings end in a select neighbourhood, nothing better can be offered to them in this pert of the colony. . Tho face that Karori is at lost about to emerge from its municipal sleep of fifty year.-> and become a modern borough is evidenced by tho fact that its ratepayers havo just sanctioned the expenditure of £37,000 for providing an electric tram service, a new recreation ground of 55 acres, and the widening and re-grading of roads^ etc. The effect of this large expenditure in iijcreasing tho cemfort and convenience of every resident, and at tho same time adding enormously to the valuo of properties of this 'class, need no special comment.
