35 Shackle Lane, Whitby, Porirua, Wellington, 5024, New Zealand

Brought to market for the first time since it was built in the late 1980’s, this large family residence is seeking new owners to restore, refresh and reinvigorate it. With everything original, and archetypal of a home with good bones, this is a rare opportunity for a huge amount of value to be added.

The large lounge flows to the dining room which in turn is adjoined to a huge area spacious enough for a large kitchen as well as further dining and family areas. All these rooms offer access to either the front deck or rear balcony.

Currently configured as four bedrooms and a large office, the upper level features a master with walk-in-robe and en-suite, accompanied by two additional double bedrooms, a family bathroom and separate WC, while the lower level offers a further double bedroom, and the option of a large office or fifth double bedroom, with access to the rear garden.

The large laundry features a chute from the upstairs landing, as well as a third bathroom, but the double garage is where someone with vision will really be able to get creative. As well as the massive amount of storage, there is a large workshop area to its rear that offers so many possibilities. Potentially, this could be an incredible sixth bedroom, art or yoga studio, rumpus/media room or, as it provides access to the low-maintenance rear garden, your very own garden bar.

This is a home offering so much, with proximity to local amenities, schools, and transport options into Wellington or towards the Kapiti Coast. If you require space, have vision, and don’t mind rolling your sleeves up, this is the house for you.
