11 Te Ropata Place, Waikanae Beach, Kapiti Coast, Wellington

When you sit at the dining table with your morning coffee and the sun is streaming through the large windows of the lofty, open living area, you feel like you're on a summer holiday, every day.

Welcome to 11 Te Ropata Place - sitting proud at the top of the cul-de-sac, elevated for views out to Kapiti Island where you can watch the kites of kite surfers bob around at the beach and bask in the afternoon sun and sunset hues from the master bedroom.

Four double bedrooms, including the elevated main bedroom with ensuite and walk-in wardrobe, full family bathroom with separate WC, spacious laundry and a double internal access garage. Situated at the rear of the house is a nice surprise - the added bonus of a second garage/rumpus room. Previously used for motorbikes and as a workshop, this would make an ideal second living area for teenagers or for those needing space for hobbies or a home office.

The large, lofty kitchen/dining/living area flows easily out to the fully fenced garden and offers a fantastic entertaining space, perfect for BBQ's with family and friends after a day at the beach - which, by the way, is only a few minutes stroll away, along with river access and the beautiful lagoons and abundant bird life of the Waikanae Estuary. Further benefits include partial double glazing and a bore water pump with irrigation system.

If you've been wanting for Waikanae Beach then be sure to put this home at the top of your viewing list. Te Ropata Place is a friendly street with neighbours who look out for one another and dote on children and animals. The current owners will be sad to leave but a family adventure awaits.
