53 Kensington Avenue, Petone, Lower Hutt, Wellington

Located in the heart of Petone, this residence is one of the privileged few backing onto the sprawling Petone Recreation Ground - it even has its own access to those green playing fields lined with pohutakawa trees. Walk to everything and enjoy the very best of Petone lifestyle and community on the edge of "the Rec".

The home is an Arts and Crafts delight dating from 1930 and retaining all its charm and character. Native timbers, polished timber floors, carrara ceilings and leadlight windows give the house a sense of heritage while modern styling, insulation and heating make it warm and inviting.

From the generous front porch, guests are drawn to the warmth of the formal lounge, with its logburner, and through to the landscaped west-facing garden.

The kitchen leads through to the dining space and on through the double doors to the patio and the established garden.

The ground floor also has a generous bedroom looking out into the front garden, perfect for elderly family members or guests.

Upstairs are 3 characterful bedrooms, a beautiful renovated semi-ensuite bathroom and a tongue and groove-lined study with its own day bed, offering breathtaking views across the Recreation Ground and beyond to the Western Hills.

Venture into the backyard oasis, where the central tree provides shade during the summer months, space for adventure with tree forts and swings, and when winter arrives, the sun streams through the deciduous branches.

Convenience is at your back gate with winter and summer sports right there on the Rec, walking distance to schools, shopping, cafes and public transport - all within easy reach.

Need versatility? Look no further. With an additional cottage/sleepout, the possibilities are endless.

Experience the epitome of Petone living at 53 Kensington Ave - where heritage meets modern living.
