This architecturally designed 1970s home offers spacious, apartment-style living, with an elevated position and harbour views in a seaside setting.

From almost every room, views stretch across the marina and the wide sweep of Wellington Harbour towards the Hutt River. The view is never quite the same twice - changing with the light, weather, tides and seasons.

Designed with a strong connection between inside and out, the home enjoys generous floor space, excellent natural light and plenty of sunshine, with the main living spaces opening to a sunny deck and two sheltered, adjoining courtyards - ideal for entertaining, relaxing and alfresco dining.

Original architectural details add to its character, including beautiful Japanese-inspired Shoji doors, bringing a distinctive sense of warmth and simplicity to the interiors.

For those drawn to homes with character, considered design and a strong connection to their surroundings, this is a place that feels genuinely different.

And then there is the birdlife. Tui are regular visitors, often arriving on the deck and adding their distinctive calls to the ever-changing soundtrack of the harbour and surrounding bush.

The Point Howard lifestyle is equally appealing. Bush walks begin nearby, the marina is within easy reach, and the new Te Ara Tupua shared walking and cycling pathway is a wonderful addition to the area.

Practicality hasn't been overlooked, with an internal-access double garage and generous off-street parking.

A home with space, sunshine, architectural character and connection to its surroundings - in the cities most desirable seaside suburb.
