Introducing

135 Mornington Street, Mornington

This property is a great opportunity for those looking for their first home, a larger family home or wanting to buy an investment property.

The one level house, built in the 1950’s offers a good size lounge, dining area with great flow into the kitchen, three good sized bedrooms, flat lawn and a double garage. The house is built of weatherboard and has a steel roof.

The house is well presented both inside and out and features good quality neutral carpet throughout except for the dining room and kitchen which have a lovely warm timber floor. The house enjoys great all day sun.



The 474m2 section is mainly presented as a flat lawn and surrounded by mature trees. There is a large area of garden currently unused that would be ideal for that home vegetable garden – or more lawn.

Mornington Street is a quiet location with easy access to Brooklyn and a number or schools, including Ridgway School (years 1 to 8) just across the road. A dairy is conveniently located at the end of the street for those convenient purchases!

Enter the property via a few stairs to the welcoming front door. To the left is the dining room which flows into the kitchen and lounge.

Flat lawn, great sun!



An open bench with glass door cupboards above connect the dining room and kitchen together. The dining room has plenty of space for a table and chairs and a large window means the room is bright and airy.

The kitchen is warm and inviting. The cabinets are a warm shade of yellow that complements the warm tones of the timber floor. There is plenty of storage and bench space, with a large pantry and additional shelving for a microwave, cook books etc.

A Simpson wall oven, Simpson dishwasher, Formica bench, stainless handles and stainless sink complete the package. A window over the basin looks out to the front of the house. A door from the kitchen gives easy access to the back garden.

Warm and inviting kitchen and dining space



Attractive timber doors, featuring ribbed glass, open to the spacious lounge. There is plenty of space for furniture and large windows allow oodles of sun to pour in. The green walls and neutral carpet are a great backdrop for any style of furniture. A built in Kent wood burner with an attractive tile surround and hearth keeps this space warm and cosy on those cold winter nights. Quality drapes and a timber pelmet complete the package.

Spacious sunny living space



Conveniently located off the hall, and away from the noise of the living areas, are the three bedrooms. The bedrooms are all a good size and offer good storage. Each room has a window that looks out to the greenness of the garden.

The bathroom well positioned near the living areas and bedrooms features a bath, vanity with storage, separate shower unit and shelving for towels etc. A wall cupboard offers additional storage. The bathroom is functional and tidy. Just next to the bathroom is a separate toilet.

The house enjoys easy drive on access to two single garages. Stairs from the rear of the garages provide easy access to the back door and into the kitchen - great for carrying in those groceries!

135 is a great address for those wanting to move into the property market or buy that larger family house. It is also a great investment property opportunity! The property is well presented but could be improved with a little TLC...

Mornington lies just behind Brooklyn. Brooklyn was established in 1852 by John Fitchett senior as a dairy farm and given the name “Fitchett.” In 1988 Brooklyn adjoined Fitchett and was extended up the Brooklyn hill by Alfred Miles. After Brooklyn Road was cut through the town belt by Central Park, its development increased rapidly. An electric tramway was introduced in 1906.

It is named after a borough in New York City, which in turn is named after the Dutch city Breukelen. A number of streets are names after former US Presidents: Cleveland Street after Grover Cleveland, Coolidge Street after Calvin Coolidge and Washington Street after George Washington to name but a few.

Today Brooklyn has a friendly and vibrant atmosphere with many young families living in it – but also retains its identity as an older suburb with timber villas and varied architecture. It is located just 3km above the CBD on the eastern hills above Happy Valley and offers great views to the city, harbour and airport. It is a very popular suburb due to its proximity to the city and the services and amenities it offers. It even has its own street festival in late November, which epitomises the community spirit in the suburb!

Mornington,

Mornington just south of Brooklyn is named after the Duke of Wellington’s father, the Earl of Mornington. Ohiro and Mills Rd (that turns into Washington Street) roads that provide easy access in and out of Mornington – and to the city and neighbouring suburbs of Vogeltown, Kingston, Beramphore and Brooklyn.

Central Park

Brooklyn is separated from the city by Central Park, named after the park of the same name in New York. The park was established in 1913. There are a set of wrought iron gates as the main entrance that were presented to then Mayor, John Pearce Luke in 1920.

During the war between 1942 and 1944 an American military camp was established in the park. By 1943 the camp could accommodate 540 personnel.

Elliot ParkElliot Park is located at the western side of Brooklyn, adjacent to Mitchell and Karepa Streets. The park has a children’s playground.

Wind TurbineThe Brooklyn Wind Turbine was installed on Pol Hill above Brooklyn in March 1993 as part of a research project into wind power generation by the Electricity Corporation of New Zealand. The site was chosen due to Wellington’s “higher than normal” wind patterns. The site, 299 meters above sea level, provides spectacular panoramas of the city, Cook Straight and the upper South Island. It is the oldest operating wind turbine in New Zealand.

Hawkins HillHawkins Hill is another of Brooklyn’s peaks and is a landmark due to the prominent radar station used for aircraft flight control and associated communications.

Bike TracksThere are a number of great bike tracks around Brooklyn including the track to Brooklyn windmill and on Hawkins Hill.

Entertainment and RestaurantsBrooklyn is home to Penthouse Cinema, located on Ohiro Road just south of Cleveland Street. It was constructed for the Ranish family in the art deco style, and opened on 15 June 1939 as the Vogue Theatre. The Ranish family ran the theatre until 1951. Today it is a popular and thriving theatre and casual restaurant and bar. There are also a number of popular restaurants in Brooklyn including The Golden Lotus and The Cornerstone as well as several takeaway bars.

LibraryBrooklyn has its own branch library which opened in 1905 in Harrison Street. Its entrance is now in Cleveland Street. The original building is now the Brooklyn Playcentre.

Renouf Tennis CentreThe Renouf Centre is located on Brooklyn Road and is home to a number regular international events including Davis Cup and Fed Cup. The Centre is also available for everyone and anyone to use.

Steve Fejos

Born in Wellington and educated at St Patrick’s College

and Victoria University in Wellington Steve entered real

estate in August 1993, having come from a background

in property management. In January 1996 Steve was

appointed Sales Manager for Challenge Realty’s Oriental

Bay Office. Within 18 months Steve took the office into

the top 10 in the Challenge Realty Group. Steve went on

to purchase three Wellington offices in October 1997.

Over the next seven years Steve was instrumental in

growing the company from a sales team of 12 to a team

of 68 sales people with 4,000 house sales worth over

1.5 billion dollars!

Shortly after Steve sold the business he was approached

by Ray White Australia and asked to restructure their

international business model so as to increase their

competitiveness with RE/MAX. At the time over 300

sales people, in Queensland alone, had left Ray White to

join RE/MAX. In the next few years Steve played a huge

part in turning around the fortunes of Ray White and

increasing the number of sales people by over 40%.

Steve returned to New Zealand in November 2005 and

took up the role of Director of Operations for RE/MAX

New Zealand. The role was to assist broker owners and

top sales people at new and established RE/MAX offices

to implement their business plans and maintain the

momentum of the fastest growing real estate company

- the RE/MAX brand, in New Zealand and Australia.

In 2006 Steve attended a wide range of leading

international industry training seminars in Denver,

Chicago and Brisbane.

After more than 400 flights during his 3 years in his

corporate career Steve decided to resign and return

to what he loves doing most - selling real estate in

Wellington.

Steve’s extensive experience in real estate spanning

local, national and international markets is a huge

benefit to his clients. This and his innovative and unique

marketing techniques is Setting a New BENCHMARQUE

in Wellington Real Estate.

Testimonial

Gary Ahearn, Regional Director of RE/MAX Australasia

says, “Steve brings together a vast experience and

understanding of all facets of real estate. Having been

very successful in sales in the mid 1990’s Steve really

made his mark on real estate by establishing a very

credible and strong company under the L.J.Hooker

brand. The standards he set are still the standards some

offices are striving to attain to. However it is Steve’s

ability to relate to all people in the community which is

his outstanding strength.”
