44 Salford Street, Newlands, Wellington, 6037, New Zealand

This is a gorgeous, sunny single-level, weatherboard property that has been beautifully upgraded to provide a thoroughly contemporary family home. With excellent ‘bones’ this 1960’s family home has stood the test of time with thoughtful renovations that have kept it bang up-to-date. Set to the rear of its generous (658m2) section, the property enjoys full sun and has heaps of off-street parking to the front.

Large double glazed windows allow the light to flood-in and the twin living areas are just bathed in sunshine – it has a very warm and friendly atmosphere that you will notice as soon as you enter. The lounge benefits from a woodburner for ambiance and a heatpump for year-round comfort and it has ranchsliders leading to a very sunny deck. The second lounge area flows to the wooden-floored dining area and modern kitchen and adjoining laundry. There is excellent separation from the bedrooms and family bathroom, which is also modern with separate bath and shower.

Outside you’ll find a large single garage with workshop and sheds that offer storage space aplenty. But what you’ll really like is the feeling of space, whether you are inside the house or in the garden or workshop. There is room to move and to avoid being on top of each other. This really is a home that will last you until the kids grow-up and beyond.

All this in popular Newlands, a short hop to the expressway, shops and schools and handy for going to the City or popping up the Kapiti for a break.
