21 Gray Avenue, Paraparaumu Beach, Kapiti Coast, Wellington

For first home buyers looking for a strong entry level property to call their own, this sturdy 1960s weatherboard dwelling is keenly positioned at the very entry level for Kapiti real estate. Built circa 1961 on the dominant upper half of a cross-lease section the home enjoys great sun and light with its thermal warmth coming from the wide-open north/west aspect. This is a solid home built in a period where native heart timbers were often used creating a strong barrier to the outside elements. The well insulated interior offers a functional floorplan with an updated 2016 kitchen/dining area enjoying exposed timber flooring and an outlook toward Kapiti Island. You'll enjoy a comfortable lounge room with its wood burner fireplace and combined bathroom/laundry facilities with modern shower and separate w/c. The two main bedrooms offer a spacious master with built in cupboards and a second modest double ideal for a set of children's bunks. Solid timber homes from this era respond beautifully to minor modifications allowing external walls to be opened up using recycled French doors to connect to new decking. This will increase how you use and enjoy the home and are generally not expensive changes, so lots to consider here. With the popular local primary school nearby this is a fleeting opportunity for the cash ready first home buyer, so don't delay. (For immediate sale)
