29 Margaret Shields Avenue, Aotea, Porirua, Wellington

Set across a substantial 241m² floor plan on a 546m² section, this is a move-in ready family home that gives everyone their own space, while still bringing you together where it counts.

Downstairs is all about connection. The open-plan living, dining and kitchen zone is sun-soaked and social, with excellent flow and plenty of room for family life to unfold. The well-appointed kitchen sits right at the centre, complete with a large island, breakfast bar seating, modern appliances and a generous pantry - perfect for school lunches, shared meals and casual entertaining. Sliding doors draw you out to the lawn, making everyday living feel open and easy.

There’s also a ground-floor bedroom and bathroom, a huge bonus for guests, extended family, or anyone wanting flexibility as life changes. A separate laundry and internal-access double garage keep things practical and organised.

Upstairs, the layout really shines. The master suite is a true retreat with its own walk-in wardrobe and ensuite, while the remaining bedrooms are well-sized and serviced by a modern family bathroom. A generous upstairs landing works brilliantly as a study nook or casual lounge, and elevated views across the neighbourhood and harbour add a sense of openness you don’t always get.

Outside, the section is fully fenced, neat and low-maintenance, with space for kids, pets and summer BBQs, without locking you into endless weekend upkeep.

Set in popular Aotea, you’re surrounded by walkways, parks, good schools and a strong sense of community, with easy access to Porirua, Transmission Gully and the CBD beyond.
