This wonderful property set on an idyllic 1497m2 sunbaked mature setting just minutes from the centre of Lower Hutt and adjoining an Embassy property offers so much for an expanded family or just those requiring more space for a home business or hobbies.
The super north facing connecting living rooms and modern kitchen flow to the most wonderful outdoor living imaginable. Some areas have views to the Harbour.
The house was renovated just a few years ago and now the 3 bathrooms (one ensuite) are modern as is the superior (in size and quality) kitchen which is large enough for the whole family to congregate to prepare meals and socialize. The renovations included new double glazed windows on the south side.
There are 5 double bedrooms and a 6th which is currently a large office and a downstairs 3rd living room ideally situated to receive business clients.
There is a double garage with internal access which is currently used as a large workspace.
The high decile Belmont & Kelson schools are close by, the Melling bridge into Lower Hutt and the train are just 2 -3 minutes drive down the motorway then another 10 minutes into Wellington.
There is a delightful 3 minute walking track through a Reserve close to the house and down to the bottom of the Hill for easy access to the Bus and the Hutt River with its walking and cycling tracks and swimming holes.
Living in Belmont is more of a way of live than just a place to live.
