13 Sunburst Court, Paraparaumu Beach, Kapiti Coast, Wellington, 5032, New Zealand

Close your eyes and imagine the ideal low-maintenance home: private, in a quiet spot, clean and smart, brick-built with plenty of room on a good-sized, flat, and secure section. Open your eyes and you’ll find yourself at 13 Sunburst Court. It’s five minutes away from the beach, the golf course, schools and all that Paraparaumu Beach has to offer. There’s three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and an integrated single garage, on a large, level section of 540* sqm. Freshly redecorated and recarpeted, this home returns to the market for the first time in a decade, but it won’t be around for long.

The big bay windows at the front flood the light into a generous, open plan living area. This space is designed for comfortable lounging, and dining as there’s so much room, with a gas fire to keep things cosy the winter. The kitchen has a large window to the garden, and is cleverly separated from the lounge without breaking the indoor flow.

The first bedroom is the smallest – it would be great for a child’s room or study. Next there’s the family bathroom and then towards the rear of the house is the large main bedroom with an ensuite, this bedroom has a big bay window, too, so there’s plenty of light and views into the garden. The third bedroom is a double that’s also got a large North-facing window.

Outside the section is safe and secure with some native shrubs and trees. There’s a good-sized lawn at the front and back and the house backs onto some green council reserve land, so there’s the assurance of more privacy there. It really is smart as a pin and is the ideal place to move into and relax, or to add your own stamp to and improve. Everything you need is close to hand, but far enough away to keep things private, quiet, and relaxed.
