Grandstand views in Aotea
AN ELEVATED Aotea home, with spectacular panoramic views that stretch from Mana Island to Kapiti Island, has a deadline sale date of Wednesday [November 28].
The four-bedroom, three-bathroom house, at 18 Kahurangi Heights, was built in 2012 on a northwest-facing 752-square metre section with extensive off-street parking and an oversized double-garage with internal access and extra storage.
Originally a builder’s home, the 281sqm dwelling stands out for its premium construction and specifications, including a schist and weatherboard exterior, a 2.7m stud, high-grade aluminium joinery, double-glazing, underfloor heating in the bathrooms, gasfired central radiator heating and ecofriendly water heating systems.
The front door opens into a spacious, double-height entrance. To the left is an office and to the right an open-plan kitchen and family/ dining area, with breathtaking views over Porirua Harbour, Titahi Bay and Plimmerton.
The granite kitchen includes two wall ovens and a microwave oven, an induction cooktop, integrated rangehood and Smeg dishwasher while the family/ dining area has a corner window seat and opens to flat courtyard and lawn.
A sliding cavity door separates the dining area from the formal lounge, which shares the same courtyard and outlook.
Such is the flexibility of the house’s configuration that one of the three downstairs bedrooms could be the main bedroom or a guest suite.
It has stunning views, opens to the courtyard and includes a walk-in wardrobe and a tiled ensuite.
The second and third doublebedrooms open to a covered courtyard while the family bathroom has a bath, shower cabinet, vanity and toilet.
There’s also a separate laundry on this level while upstairs are another bedroom suite, a second living room and an internal room that would make an ideal media room.
Both the bedroom and adjacent living room have amazing views, and the former also has a dressing room, with built-in drawers and shelves, and an ensuite.
“This home has exceptionally broad appeal because of its position, outlook and interconnecting spaces,” says Mel Troy, of Clark & Co Realty, who’s marketing it with Sally Coltart.
“Its flexibility, sophistication and easycare grounds would suit families, entertainers and professionals alike.”
“It’s rare to be able to buy a home in Aotea with grandstand views as extraordinary as these,” Coltart says. “They are some of the best on offer and the perfect spot to soak in the glorious sunsets.
“Plus there’s the bonus of parking for a boat or trailer and being only a fiveminute drive from Porirua’s shopping centre.”
The property has a rateable value of $1.05 million ADDRESS: 18 Kahurangi Heights, Aotea. AGENTS: Mel Troy, phone 021 349 737 or Sally Coltart, phone 027 246 8844. VIEWING: Tomorrow, 2.30pm-3pm.
