Wadestown

Tucked away down a driveway is this absolute gem of a home. The owners have spent the last few years doing a superb architecturally designed renovation. The result is a winning blend between the original character features and the best of contemporary living including double glazing, gas radiator heating throughout, and full insulation. A comprehensive redesign of the floor plan now provides the all-important indoor/outdoor flow between the open-plan living, decking, and garden. The kitchen and dining area are the central hub of the home. The kitchen is an entertainer's delight with quality appliances, storage, and a granite island - the perfect spot to gather. Adjoining this hub is the intimate lounge on one side and off another side is the study nook. Excellent space planning includes separation of the bedrooms - the primary bedroom complete with a tiled bathroom and a walk-in wardrobe is off to one side. Located on the other are a further two bedrooms, a tiled family bathroom, and a hide-away laundry. The warmth and charm of polished floorboards, the comfort of carpet, and the practicality of tiles are the perfect blend of flooring. Lovely and light and with fantastic late sun - making that deck the perfect spot in the summer evenings - the hard work has all been done. Outside there is parking for three vehicles and a great lawn with scope to add more plants if you're a keen gardener. Great location in the quiet cul-de-sac end of Donald Street, zoned for Karori Normal School and the Wellington Colleges - this is a must-view home.
