Lower Hutt, Wellington, 5013

This much admired home has befittingly gorgeous gardens and is just steps from the beach, traffic-free promenade and combined sports grounds. It has so much to love. Looking out to grassy sand dunes, the sea, city and native bush its lightly elevated setting is just one of many alluring aspects. Designed almost 100 years ago by pre-eminent architect William Gray Young, the property was constructed to be strong and beautiful. Indeed, it has endured the test of time and the original plan remains virtually unchanged. You will see how it nonetheless suits your busy lifestyle, and that it is an idyllic environment for children. With five bedrooms, a separate studio above the double garage, fully fenced gardens and all year sunshine, this is a rare opportunity to own something so special. I urge you to view soon.
