11A Lawrence Street, Newtown, Wellington

An elegant 1930's home, awash with vibrant colour and unspoilt character has come to the market after 23 years.

Located in popular, magnolia-lined Lawrence Street with easy access to the front door, this home has great street appeal with its rusticated weatherboards and high pitched roofline.

Sunny with views to the north across Newtown to the city, the two storey home, designed by architect William Turnbull in 1929, provides wonderful privacy having all three double bedrooms and main bathroom upstairs and kitchen with adjoining living spaces and guest toilet downstairs.

With a versatile layout, not only is this a couple's dream home with ample entertaining space and plenty of room for guests to stay but also its ideal for a family. One of the bedrooms is an extra large double with sun porch/study great for kids to share, the other a larger double and then a smaller double.

There is plenty to love about this well proportioned, quality home with its good bones, native wood character features including exquisite polished floors, a lovely staircase, original doors, and the high-end carrara ceilings harking back to the Carrara Ceiling Company factory days.

The large kitchen is sunny, easy to work in and opens out to the deck. The dining room, with gas fire, will easily accommodate that large table you need for family events and dinner parties. The lounge, with heat pump, can be closed off to create a cosy, ambient space on wet, cold winter afternoons and evenings. The main bathroom with luxe bath is flooded with natural sunlight.

There is also potential to further extend your living out to the north or convert the generous attic storage area into more livable space.

A north facing terraced garden with plenty of scope will delight green fingers and the section is fully fenced for dogs.
