74 Bassett Road, Johnsonville, Wellington City, Wellington

Forget about expensive city apartments with ever-increasing Body Corp fees, noisy neighbours, and issues like earthquake ratings. Here you have a 2-bedroom, 60 m2 gem on freehold land that is just 2 years old. This fantastic, freestanding home has double glazing and heating throughout to keep you warm and dry, but it won't cost you the earth. The roof of the property is covered with sixteen 300-Watt solar panels and the system has a backup battery system so you'll see significant cost savings on your power bill.

Combine these benefits with covered off-street parking, a convenient location, bus stops nearby, a fabulous outlook and a stylish interior, and you have the complete package. There are two very tidy bedrooms and a gleaming white bathroom downstairs, with the second bedroom opening out onto the front verandah. Upstairs you have a light-filled living area with panoramic valley views. The open plan design makes the most of the available space, with a breakfast bar for casual meals.

The centrepiece of the upstairs level is the glorious kitchen, with its gleaming white and stainless surfaces, offset by the black stone benchtops and floor tiles. This is a very stylish kitchen, with a view to match.

Take advantage of the opportunity to snap up this one-of-a-kind little beauty.
