122 Weggery Drive, Waikanae Beach, Kapiti Coast, Wellington, 5036, New Zealand

Framed by tall trees at the rear, this handsome, solid, red brick home is separated from its neighbours by a driveway and an attractive border of native flowers, trees, and bush. A slight incline from the road welcomes you to the front door into the airy interior of this four-bedroomed home.

Upon entering you can see a well-connected open-plan layout between the living, dining, and family room and the kitchen. Clever use of sliding doors means you can easily section rooms off to create privacy and separation to give everyone their own space.

To the front is the modern kitchen that opens into the dining and family room. There’s lots of light here from the many large windows that bring in all-day sunshine. Sliding doors open out to the lawn and around to the alfresco deck for BBQs and entertaining.

Through one set of recessed sliding doors is the family lounge with huge windows looking out to the wraparound lawn, while another leads back to the hallway and then on into the rest of the house. A good-sized log burner keeps things toasty.

The first bedroom is perfect for a home office, while the second is a double. These two rooms look out onto the front gardens and driveway. On the other side of the hallway is the master bedroom with its walk-in robe and en-suite. The fourth bedroom – another double – completes the set. There’s a large family bathroom with a separate loo.

There’s interior access to the double garage, which is where you’ll find the laundry, along with access to the garden and shed.

The home has a functional floorplan with a well-established, but low-maintenance, garden in a very peaceful yet well-connected part of Waikanae. Everything you need in a superb location.
