32 Rothsay Road, Ngaio, Wellington, 6035, New Zealand

What a find! You won’t believe how private, peaceful and picturesque this three-bedroom character home is until you see it for yourself. Superbly renovated and sublimely landscaped, it’s an immaculate showcase for modern indoor-outdoor living in an exquisitely leafy setting where birdsong and beauty abound. Features include:

– Three double-bedrooms, two tiled bathrooms with underfloor heating and the bonus of a second living area which is perfect for working from home or an extra space for the children to play

– Seamless blend of bungalow charm – bay windows, leadlights, polished floor-boards, central hall with high stud – and contemporary living/dining and entertainers’ kitchen with natural light and indoor-outdoor flow

– Serene and green with a relatively easy-care garden that has a large flat lawn at the front, where kids can kick a ball or play cricket, and an amazing alfresco terrace at the rear, complete with separate BBQ corner, a hideaway bar with power for a wine fridge and the cutest garden shed

– Recently re-roofed and beautifully presented inside and out – there’s nothing to do except move in and immerse yourself in a slice of Ngaio nirvana that’s teeming with native birds

– Comfortably set back from the street which preserves privacy: it’s like living in a world of your own but close to shops, decile-10 schooling, community facilities and public transport
