20 Kabul Street, Khandallah, Wellington City, Wellington

This amazing executive residence is situated in an idyllic Khandallah cul-de-sac. The privacy, bushland, and views of Wellington harbour will make you the envy of friends and colleagues alike. The house is perfectly arranged for entertaining, hosting family gatherings, supporting a home-based office or business, or just spreading out with the kids.

The property has undergone significant renovations, with the expansive kitchen a prime example of the quality of work that has gone into upgrading the property. The house has a new roof and weatherboards, and it has been double-glazed. It also boasts retractable insect screens for those warm summer nights. Add to this the 3 heat pumps and the gas fireplace and you have a home that will be both warm and energy efficient. Easy care gardens are combined with a charming deck and courtyard to create perfect entertaining areas.

The master bedroom has a large ensuite bathroom and walk-in wardrobe, as well as a separate entrance to a rear porch. There are two more double bedrooms with built-in wardrobes on the upper level of the house, along with a family bathroom and a separate laundry area. The laundry area has plenty of room for storage as well.

The main living area is enormous and is blessed with expansive views of the harbour, its own sheltered deck, and a gas fireplace. The living area connects via the formal dining room to the kitchen. The dining room and kitchen both benefit from views of the harbour as well. There is a second living area in an open-plan arrangement with the kitchen, thus providing an opportunity for the kids to have somewhere to escape to, or for the cook to enjoy a program on the large wall-mounted flat screen while cooking up a storm. The second living area flows through a ranch slider to another deck and the private rear garden. A perfect party arrangement.

Downstairs you will find a large rumpus room with its own heat pump, and a ranch slider exiting onto the front garden. This would be a perfect place for a home business or office, a third living area, or an enormous fourth bedroom. The ground level also sports an elegant foyer and a very roomy double garage with attendant storage space.

As a final touch, the rear garden path leads to an elevated viewing platform that is the perfect place for a quiet drink or to take in a summery sunset over the harbour. Be quick. Quality homes like this don't pop up every day.
