BEAUTIFUL SEASIDE FAMILY RESIDENCE, with THIRTYFOUR ACRES OF LAND, situated in tho Seaside Suburb of. MURITAI, well known as the property of the late Mr. Thomas R. Ellison. This lovely residence and its surrounding grounds overlook one of tho most delightful sea view 3in the world Nothing is more entrancing to a lover of Nature than the combination of mountain, hill, and valley, with the glory of the sea. In this 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 tho waters of Port Nicholson, gradually narrowing till they reach tho entrance to tho harbour, »and then lose themselves in tho great Strait which divides the two Islandf. Tho snow-clad mountain ranges of tho South Island, tho gliding to and fro of the vast fleet of» shipping which day and night pass the portals of Pencarrow, the budding suburbs on tho_, opposito , side 'of the harbour, the indescribalo beauty of the sea and sky, altogether present a never-ending picture that satisfies and soothes the soul of the most prosaic. It is in a very special sense the ideal' home of a great writer or a weary statesman. , Tho residence is just out of the hands of the 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 *dows, tower, deep verandahs 10ft wide, and highly-finished decorations being some of the leading features. The diniugroom is 20ft x 13ft, separated by -folding doors from the drawingroom (17ft x 14ft). There are two halls, the main hall being 13ft x 13ft. The principal bedroom is 17ft x 13ft. The kitchen, scullery, out-offices, etc., are of the most complete character. A most pUre and delightful stream of water comes from tho hills at tho back of the property, a reservoir attached to it affording an unlimited supply for the use of the household. The great extent of land (34 acres) gives a breadth, unity, and completeness to the proporty which makes it altogether exceptional. The Harbour Board have just decided to erect a wharf at Muritai, 240 ft long with a width of 30ft. This will not only add to the comfort and convenience of the residents, but will materially; increaso the value of all property in this progressive suburb. - While tho property is for absolute sale, arrangements can be made, if required, for a considerable proportion of tho purchase money to be obtained on mdrtgage. The property is in charge of a caretaker, and tickets to inspect it con be obtained on anplication to the Auctioneers, who will, "if required, dotail a member of tho staff to accompany any intending purchaser, so that a full inspection can be made.
