What if living in the heart of Mount Victoria didn't mean compromising on space?

At 16 Hawker Street you can walk to the city, wander the Town Belt or head down to the waterfront, then come home to a substantial character villa with four bedrooms, two bathrooms, generous living spaces, fantastic afternoon sun and the kind of garaging that's almost unheard of this close to town. It's a rare combination of inner-city lifestyle and genuine room to spread out.

· Four bedrooms, including a generous master with ensuite and a loft-style fourth bedroom

· Two bathrooms and three toilets

· Open-plan kitchen and dining, a natural hub for everyday life

· Spacious main living room with French doors opening to a sunny deck

· Second living room, ideal as a media room, home office, playroom or quiet retreat

· Excellent sun through the day, with full afternoon sun in the main living room and master bedroom

· Triple garaging with dual-street access, a genuine rarity in Mount Victoria

· Substantial workshop beneath the two rear garages

· Recent improvements including a new roof, updated kitchen, new flooring and quality carpeting

The two rear garages sit above a large workshop, giving an impressive amount of additional space across two levels. Use it for cars, bikes, storage, hobbies or projects, or simply enjoy having room that's increasingly hard to find in an inner-city location. Previous feasibility work has explored the possibility of a self-contained space here, subject to any necessary consents and approvals, for buyers prepared to investigate further.

Mount Victoria puts the best of Wellington a few minutes' walk from your front door. The city, waterfront, Town Belt, cafés and schools are all close at hand, so you can leave the car at home and enjoy living locally.

This is not a cookie-cutter city home. It's a character property with genuine presence, practical upgrades and an unusually versatile layout. Whether you're after a forever home, room for a growing family, or somewhere to work, entertain and pursue your own projects, there's plenty here to get excited about.

Come for the villa, the sun and the location, then discover just how much more this property has to offer.
