This charming 1930s Art Deco home has total privacy in both its front and rear yards. The frontage overlooks the village green, a great spot for the family to kick a ball around or have a game of cricket, a very special feature for a Petone Home in the affordable price range. Electric door openers for both the garage/workshop and the carport, and the large fence along the front boundary, provide for a total of 4 cars parked securely off the road. Also hidden in this area is a very large garden shed.
The roof of this renovated home was replaced eight years ago, and in 2025, new thermally broken double-glazed aluminium windows were installed. This home also showcases the popular layout of a modern kitchen, being open plan with the dining and living area. French doors from the living areas open to a covered sun porch with sides that can be pulled down in wet weather or rolled up to extend the adjoining decking. All, creating a wonderful space for larger casual gatherings in the sun.
We are told that on colder nights, the warmth of the heat pump in the living room extends out to the enclosed sunporch, a great help when extended family or friends come around, and the weather turns bad.
The modern bathroom has the added advantage over most affordable Petone homes, having both a bath and a showerbox. The toilet is also separate.
The rear yard has space for raised veg/herb plots, but it is small enough not to require constant attention. You will just love the mature fruit trees, Grapes, Feijoa, Nectarine, Guava, Plum (2 varieties) and Olive trees, which help with the food budget, provide health benefits and add ambience to your environment.
Also in the rear yard there is a brick fire place with a chimney for your enjoyment when sitting out there.
Just when you thought Petone was out of your price range, you can now enjoy all of the advantages as above. Plus, the easy walk to Petone waterfront or down to Jackson Street with all it's wonderful shops, cafes, bars, library and movie theatre. There is also a golf course 5 minutes drive away. You will also enjoy your easy access via the Esplanade into Wellington and, in the opposite direction, the wonderful Eastern Bays.
Very soon, you will be able to cycle the new pathway and right out to the lakes and lighthouse at Pencarrow, if you so desire. If not, catch the handy 83 bus to the end of Eastbourne and then enjoy the most scenic walk. Alternatively, the 83 bus stops at the Days Bay Ferry, which will take you into Queens Wharf to enjoy a walk around Wellington City or lunch just steps from the wharf, such a leisurely experience without those parking hassles.
The current family have loved the convenience and ease of living here over the past 10 years; however, they are now on the hunt for something more suitable for their requirements.
