8 Vista Crescent, Maoribank, Upper Hutt City, Wellington

You have two options: you could purchase a new three-bedroom house on a small plot of land at a higher cost, with neighbours having a direct view into your windows. Alternatively, you could buy this wonderful home, which offers great flexibility, beautiful lawns with canopies of mature trees filled with birdlife. It's elevated to provide views of the valley.

The house offers great flexibility with its three split levels. The top level features three private bedrooms, a separate toilet, bathroom, and shower. The middle level includes the kitchen, living, and dining areas which open out to a lovely private outdoor space with a spa pool. Additionally, there is a separate large bedroom with a sink and fridge space, a bathroom with a walk-in wardrobe/storage space, and a garage on the lower level. In the past, the lower level has been rented for over $300 per week.

The downstairs layout is perfect for a flat mate, boarder, or family member who wants to live independently. The large 809m2 section features a lovely private backyard with a sunny aspect, two garden sheds, and a beautiful park-like setting in the front. There is also potential for subdivision, or the option to add an additional unit to increase the property's value in the future.

The location is fantastic, with only 5 minutes to Upper Hutt shops, 30-35 minutes to the Wairarapa, Kapiti Coast, Wellington Central, and 20 minutes to Lower Hutt and Petone.
