281 Queens Drive, Lyall Bay, Wellington

This home-and-income property - bordering the beach and reserve - has so much to offer. Upstairs you'll find a stylish and contemporary home of three bedrooms (master with ensuite), a smartly presented kitchen and an open plan living/dining room with wonderful sea views - you'll be finding every excuse to work from home, or host your friends and family on the sunny veranda. Largely double glazed, it is warm, sunny and exudes a refined elegance complemented by those expansive views over the reserve, the beach and to the south coast.

Downstairs there's a separate, immaculately presented three bedroom flat, in a character style, featuring native timber floors, doors and windows. A west-facing patio is sun-drenched and private for your tenants, or they can cosy up in the enclosed porch with their evening beverage. An absolute x-factor extra is the attached studio room, with a kitchenette, separate bedroom and an adorable hot water outdoor shower. With its own private entrance, it has been a superb Air BnB for surfies, beach lovers, writers or creatives looking for a seaside refuge or simply keep for special friends, family or as your own peaceful work space.

There are too many gorgeous features to list - this property must be viewed to be appreciated - call to arrange a private inspection. Builder's report and LIM will be provided.
