2 Orissa Crescent, Broadmeadows, Wellington City, Wellington

There have been so many fabulous upgrades to this home - where do we start?

Warmth - that most essential element of a Wellington home. The property has had the walls insulated in stages from 2004 to 2014, as well as the more usual insulation of floors and ceiling. The whole house is double glazed, including the various decorative windows found in the better homes of this period. The home has also be re-floored with bamboo, giving a warm, sensuous feel underfoot. That same feeling of warmth is carried on to the most important area, with underfloor heating in both bathrooms. Finally, add a great sun aspect and an efficient woodburner and you have a luxuriously cosy home to enjoy.

"Show kitchen" does not begin to describe the crowning glory that awaits you. From expansive marble work surfaces to high-spec appliances, and extensive soft-close cabinetry you'll wonder how you ever prepared food before. With its own nook to lounge in and looking on to the protected entertainer's deck, the kitchen is truly at the heart of the home.

Four bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 2 quite separate living areas and a roofed outdoor entertainment area make for a home ready to receive visitors and entertain guests. You'll be more popular than ever. The second living area has been designed to double as an enormous 5th bedroom if needed as well.

Garaging - never be short of storage or off-street parking with 3 garage spaces and two street accesses. Perfect for all the toys.

Gardens - so hard to establish and maintain but here the owners have wisely created low-maintenance gardens at the front of the home and in the private garden, with many mature trees. As an added treat, there is a spa tucked away in the private garden where you can relax in comfort. The final part of the gardens is the greenhouse, along with the range of vegetable beds and fruit trees that have been carefully built up and maintained at the rear of the property.

Building report and LIM available.
