Here is a home full of cottage character that has been lived in and loved for 35 years but is now crying out for some new love and attention.

No dull and predictable layout here, 26 Manawa has a design flare and flavour that seems to set it apart from neighbouring homes. The open plan living takes the lower floor with laundry and guest WC hiding around the corner off the kitchen. The lounge is spacious and L-shaped with woodburner and doors off to the deck. Up the stairs you come to the main bathroom either side of which are bedrooms. The Master bedroom is a delightful space and bathed in morning light. Bedroom 3 is approached through bedroom 2, which can permit benefits like having a private office, or the layout could work well for young children too.

A very, very special feature of the property is the garden. The header picture paints a thousand words because mature trees need years and years to reach the kind of growth shown here. Through the gate by the letterbox you take a quaint garden path amidst welcoming flora to the main entrance off the deck. The sunny decking area is an enchanting spot in itself and you can IMAGINE creating a very special haven here...

Not least of all, within walking distance for most, the property is located very handy to Coastlands, amenities and transport. There is a park nearby, you are on the often more desirable side of Kapiti Rd, with secondary school zoning for popular Raumati Beach School and Kapiti College.

VISION is what you will have when you consider 26 Manawa Avenue for your own home or for rental portfolio. We are seeing many investors coming through in the current market so do you sums in this respect also - ask a few rental agencies for an estimate. You may be pleasantly surprised.

The property is being offered by Deadline Treaty on 17th April 2017, offers in by 2pm (unless sold prior).
