38/120 Rintoul Street, Newtown, Wellington

Why compromise on an apartment when you can enjoy townhouse living of this calibre in the sought-after Altair complex midway between Newtown and Berhampore. It combines three bedrooms and two bathrooms with sunny outdoor living in a safe, secure complex that's just a short walk, bus trip or bike ride from downtown.

Features include:

- Superbly presented with three double-bedrooms, one of which opens to a courtyard garden and would be great for working from home, and two bathrooms (both with showers, one with a bath)

- Northwest-facing corner unit, so fantastic for sun, privacy and natural light

- Lovely front garden with bonus of a shed and more than enough space to unwind in the sun

- Well-appointed eat-in kitchen, with underfloor heating, and separate lounge with a herringbone floor, sunny balcony and timber louvres that open to reveal a north-facing view over landscaped communal grounds to the town belt

- Fantastic location near the hub of cosmopolitan Newtown, with its hospitals and hospitality, and just a short stroll from Berhampore, with its village bakery, chocolatier and craft beer tavern

- Safely set back from the street with internal garage for secure parking or extra storage if you'd rather catch a bus near the complex's entrance or walk or cycle everywhere

If you're seeking a modern, comfortable, easy-care, lock up-and-leave lifestyle handy to the city and the south coast, don't miss Sunday's viewing.
