7 Avion Terrace, Raumati Beach, Kapiti Coast, Wellington, 5032, New Zealand
Live upstairs and work downstairs! That’s what the current owners have loved doing for ’18 trouble-free years’, but now it’s time for a new family to write their own story. In a quiet cul-de-sac of a well-connected part of Raumati Beach, this property boasts extra-special elements to create a home that’s anything but ordinary.
The floors are flipped to make the most of the east-facing positioning, flooding the upper living areas with light and warmth. With this vantage, the master ensuite bedroom drinks in the sunrise and views of the Maungakotukutuku Ranges, while the kitchen and dining area opens to a deck for alfresco living with unmatched panoramas and privacy.
The west-facing lounge opens to another expanse of outdoor decking to enjoy the evenings in the glow of the setting sun, soothed by the songbirds in the terraced gardens below. Fringed with citrus and fruit trees, with raised veggie beds, the ground floor features yet more decking amidst the extensive but easy-care natives and greenery.
A broad, covered eave invites you inside, leading to an extended, super-sized bedroom that could easily host a home office, a gym, or a home cinema. There’s another double-sized bedroom and bathroom, giving the whole lower level the flexibility to become an entirely separate and semi-self-contained space.
There’s internal access to the double garage and laundry, and an abundance of storage throughout, but no wasted space – precisely what you’d expect from a home built by Carl van der Meer. The home is well insulated and is warmed and cooled with the heat pumps on both floors.
Moments from the beach and perfectly pitched between Paraparaumu and Raumati’s collection of coastal cafes, shops, walk and bike tracks, it’s a unique home that’s ready for a new chapter to be written.
