22 Reef Street, Island Bay, Wellington

Beachgoers, fishers and divers couldn't wish for a better spot than this, just metres from Island Bay's signature coastline, across the road from a park and bus routes, and not much further from the Empire Cinema and village shops. Add seaside character that's been renovated for modern living and you have an unbeatable lifestyle in a prime location. Features include:

- Three double-bedrooms and one single bedroom

- An exceptionally versatile studio that would be perfect for everything from a rumpus or games room to a studio or music room to working from home

- Renovated Edwardian character with original features but upgraded within the last two years with a remodelled kitchen, new carpet, shower-over-bath, toilet and Rheem hot water system, and a powerful heat pump

- Main bedroom with aluminium double-glazed bay window to optimise the lovely view plus north-facing sunroom with a suspended drying rack - which tells you how hot it gets

- Delightful indoor-outdoor living, from the walled courtyard at the front to the sheltered and sunny BBQ haven at the rear, complete with vegetable boxes and small lawn

- Single garage and off-street parking but the cycleway into town means you won't even need a car - you'll be able to bike everywhere, and use the garage to store everything you need to explore the coastline, while the village is within a flat, easy walk

No wonder this seaside escape is for sale for only the first time in 25 years. If you want to experience everything Island Bay offers in one of its best streets, don't miss Sunday's viewing.
