If you and your family have been looking for a solid, character home with plenty of room for all to enjoy, you must inspect this 1930s weatherboard classic. Located in the Thorndon heritage precinct, a short walk to the village with its cafés, boutiques and historic hotel, the Botanical Gardens for summer festivals, and a 10 minute stroll to Parliament and the Government quarter, this handsome home was surely built to last. There are three double bedrooms, plus a fourth that could either be a bedroom, additional living space, work from home option or pretty conservatory soaked in afternoon sun. Additionally, two separate formal lounges – with decorative plaster ceilings, bay windows and impressive views across Thorndon to the bay beyond, a spacious family bathroom – with spa bath and double sink – along with a second bathroom, ensures there’s always a place to relax, work or play in for you, your family and guests. The contemporary, open plan kitchen/dining flows seamlessly out to an adorable cottage garden and patio, complete with a spa pool nestled privately amongst the foliage. Formal terraced planting and vegetable beds would easily allow for a trampoline, swing set or petanque court should your family desire. Well-insulated, well-maintained, warm, with modern quality furnishings, this is a home built with pride of craftsmanship and care in construction, and long-loved and cherished by many families over its 90 years. Off street tandem parking for two cars and in zone for Wellington’s top schools. Our owners reluctantly leave for a life in the country – this is your opportunity to make it yours.
