Back to Listing ResultsSuperb Family Home, Sunshine & Views
"Perfect for a family to work, rest and have fun", say the current owners of this gorgeous home. With plenty of space and sensational views from almost every room, your busy life will feel like a perpetual holiday. It is great for entertaining, with a big deck to the front and brilliant terraced areas to the rear. Play your favourite tunes, fire up the barby and lap up the last of the summer sun. And when the going gets too hot, wander down Kaikoura Path for a swim at the beach. Extensively modernised, with some 1940's features remaining, a six year old roof and double glazing are among recent improvements. In sought after Lowry Bay, you will be part of an established community and have access to popular schools. Well placed for commuting by road to the Hutt and Wellington City, or via the 20 minute crossing on the Days Bay ferry, this good looking home has so much to offer so view soon and prepare to fall in love!
The living is upstairs, capitalising on the fabulous sunshine and views enjoyed at this home. Extensive (double) glazing maximises the view and wow factor. Doors open to the newly refurbished deck, with plenty of room for everyone to flow out and enjoy. The modern touch of polished floorboards contrasts beautifully with original fitted features.

The separate laundry is conveniently located off the rear porch, just outside the back door.
The kitchen is spacious and highly serviceable, with a lovely outlook to the rear gardens. It is conveniently open to the spacious dining area and has a handy breakfast bar. Bi-folding doors open to the rear gardens.
Currently used as a bedroom by the present owners, and with a built in wardrobe, this room is on the upper floor and is also perfect as a study. Similarly, should 5 bedrooms be required, this room serves that purpose to perfection.
The outdoors has been developed for maximum pleasure. There are two lawned areas and a paved patio which, in addition to amazing sea views, has sunshine late into the evening. Perfect for entertaining! The property is beautifully landscaped and there is plenty of space (and excellent conditions) for growing veggies. The deck off the living room is also much loved, with its outstanding views across the water and bush clad hills. Outdoor furniture is a must, here!
There is space for 2 cars to park on the drive, which is cracked and is ripe for renewal. Similarly, the existing single garage requires repair or renewal.
Storage is excellent, including a large area accessed off the downstairs hallway.
