8 Newry Road, Raumati Beach, Kapiti Coast, Wellington, 5032, New Zealand

This home has so much to offer, with huge potential for more, perfect as a beach-side destination for families, including work-at-home parents or entrepreneurs who can see the opportunities this business-ready address can bring.

It’s a handsome house – the arched frontage speaks to the space inside and through the front door there’s a palatial hallway and grandiose staircase, and galleried landing. On the upper floor, there’s three super-sized bedrooms, all well-equipped with simple decor and wide windows. The master has a newly-refurbished ensuite and a generous walk-in robe. There’s another room that’s perfect for a work-at-home office, too.

But the real home-based business opportunity is downstairs: there’s an enormous room with expansive floor-to-ceiling windows that face the rear courtyard and gardens that’s currently equipped as a hair salon. If this isn’t your style then this space can still be a highlight as a self-contained annex, gym, or games room.

Through double doors is a timelessly-designed kitchen with granite surfaces and a double sink. There’s a family room alongside, warmed by a sizeable wood burner. The main living area is another super-sized space with a lounge, dining area, and a quirky sunken area to hang out in away from everyone else! There’s a guest toilet, separate laundry, a sizeable linen storage space, and access to the double-sized garage on the ground floor, too.

Out back the yard and gardens are level and easy to maintain. There’s room for a trailer, boat, and more, with a garden shed and wraparound access.

When you can measure your trip to the beach in minutes, and your commute in moments, you know you’ve found a unique property. Here on a quiet and secluded cul-de-sac in Raumati Beach, you can have both.
