14 Bell Street, Otaki, Kapiti Coast, Wellington

Striking and spacious, this home sits with pride on 1371sqm of sun kissed flat lawn and gardens.

Step into a breath-taking foyer with majestic windows from floor to ceiling. The staircase delivers to the upper level where relaxing in the main living area evokes the feeling a west facing ship sailing into the sunset. Wrap around windows capture vistas from the hills to leafy surrounds and street. Elevated for privacy, you're the tallest home in the street.

Also upstairs - the kitchen, which enjoys views to the hills, has a large walk in pantry, plenty of storage and bench space. Everything is large! There's a spacious master with balcony, ensuite and walk in robe and another light filled west facing bedroom next door. A main bathroom with separate W/C and separate laundry. Shafts of light stream in from strategically placed skylights, there are many quirks and design elements at every turn to explore including a lift from the garage directly to the upper level, excellent for taking the shopping up and able to fit a wheelchair.

Downstairs a large rumpus could be a second living space, work from home area with external access for clients or convert into two bedrooms. An additional large room with wardrobe frames views to the private back yard and lawn. The internal double garage connects to multiple room including a 40sqm workshop, a large office and additional full bathroom.

Options to work from home with fast fibre connection, run a home office, or live with extended family and still have room for guests. Homes of this size, stature and quality are rare.

Walking distance to schools, shops, transport and dangerously close to Watsons Garden Centre. A visit really is required to truly grasp what is on offer here. Locals growing up who recall it being built have enjoyed visiting this unique and stately home to take a peek inside - one of the most talked about homes in town.

Available for viewings by appointment.
