5/8 Elphinstone Avenue, Strathmore Park, Wellington City, Wellington

Tucked into the hillside, overlooking Strathmore Park, is your new home.

Freshly painted, inside and out, this classic 1970's cedar cottage is what you've been looking for. The home has been updated in all the important areas: kitchen, bathroom, and most importantly, double-glazing. Only a few windows in the loft area have missed the double-glazing treatment.

The aspect of the home is leafy, and the property is set well back from the road for quiet and privacy. You'll love the vaulted ceilings and exposed beams, and the way the large triangular window brings light into the living area.

Did I mention the loft? What an amazing space, overlooking the living area. There are so many potential uses, from office to guest bedroom, to a childhood fantasy hideaway.

Outdoors there is a cosy balcony off the living area and a large patio area that would be perfect for barbecues or just reading a book in the sun. Extras include a substantial carport, a garden shed and a storage room under the house.

Be quick. There's not many like this.
