21/25 Tennyson Street, Te Aro, Wellington, Wellington

This serene and spacious home is the perfect inner-city sanctuary for those who value easy-care apartment living, and enjoy a little more creativity and flair than most. At a wonderfully roomy 110sqm (source: Cotality) you'll certainly be able to spread out, place your artwork and find a spot for all your favourite pieces.

The open plan kitchen, dining and living room faces north, and when the bifold windows are tucked back, offers a sunny, airy ambience and a most pleasant corner to cosy up on your couch. The timber floors perfectly complement the restrained colour palette throughout this apartment, along with the timber and stainless steel accents in the kitchen and bathrooms.

The primary bedroom also enjoys a northern aspect and is large enough for a desk for those that like to work from home, with an ensuite for privacy and convenience. The second bedroom is also spacious and includes a large built-in wardrobe. Storage is also well-considered in the kitchen, with its sweeping counter tops, ample cupboards, and pantry - there's also a handy storage cage in the utility room for all the extras. The lovely long bookshelves in the living area will stay with the apartment.

While you can walk to almost anywhere from this handy location - the cafes, shops, theatres and restaurants are just a few minutes' stroll away - this apartment comes with the solid gold bonus of two carparks - use one and rent the other out as our owner currently does, or keep one for guests or family.

This building was earthquake-strengthened in 2016 to 70% NBS and the body corporate is well-run and extremely proactive. This apartment is double-glazed; our owner finds she only needs to use a small rollaway heater in the cooler months.

This has been our owner's happy home for 18 years but a move south to family now beckons. Take your chance now to inspect - call for your private viewing.
