114 Wallace Street, Mount Cook, Wellington City, Wellington

Where better for professionals to buy their first home than in the heart of Mount Cook, on the cusp of everything Newtown offers and within a short stroll or bike ride of downtown? This charming two-bedroom cottage is beautifully presented in a sunny, leafy setting with delightful indoor-outdoor living. Features include:

- Two double bedrooms, including a large loft-like master bedroom wing on the upper level that was added in the 1980s to capture views over the city to Mount Kaukau and the town belt

- North-facing open-plan living with a window seat to curl up on in the all-day sun

- Repainted, recarpeted interior with modern curtains, renovated bathroom, improved insulation and a new iron roof

- Versatile additional room that could be spare bedroom, study, playroom or storeroom

- Wonderful indoor-outdoor living: enjoy a morning cuppa on the east-facing front veranda, relax under the glazed canopy of the north-facing courtyard, or watch the sunset from the master bedroom's recently rebuilt deck that steps down to a small lawn

- Picturesque walk-up garden entrance with a picket fence and mature trees that afford exquisite privacy

- Fantastic location on historic street that's on the bus route and just a few minutes' walk to shops, supermarkets, and hospitals

Why compromise with apartment living when you can enjoy this much character, comfort, and convenience this close to the city? Don't miss open home viewings.
