A Modern and Functional Kitchen

The large french doors are both inviting and extremely functional. They can be opened to create a large informal family or entertaining area, and seamlessly connect the house with the rear courtyard. This is especially great during the summer months.

The rear yard is both private and fully fenced and thus offers peace of mind and comfort for parents of young children knowing they and the family pets are safe, secure and well away from the road. A second gate at the beginning of the driveway also offers additional security for the family and guest cars parked in the driveway.

Informal Family Living with a Paved, Private and Secure Rear Courtyard

The rear courtyard can be accessed either from the side driveway or directly from the family room and is indeed a true bonus in the city area.

Rarely does a home in central Wellington City offer a combination firstly; of such a large courtyard on a single level and secondly; privacy from neighbours and adjoining properties and thirdly; having everything on the same level; family living, paved courtyard, garden and parking for so many vehicles.

The property is also well sheltered from Wellington’s prevailing northerly winds and also from the cool wet southerly storms.

A small, sunny vegetable patch will be enjoyed by keen gardeners. Both the garden and the clothesline are hidden away out of sight from the family room and outdoor areas.

The Magnolia tree is a feature of the garden and offers spectacular winter colour. The arrival of summer brings the mature lemon tree into full flourish, providing plentiful fruit for family consumption.
