8 Watson Street, Wellington Central, Wellington 6011

This is a wonderful example of a well-maintained, handsome, turn-of-last-century villa that has been modernised for today's busy living. Not only are there two bedrooms (one with an ensuite and walk-in wardrobe) plus two living areas (or a third bedroom) in the main house, there's a very tidy, warm and comfortable one-bedroom flat to the rear. Home-and-income properties of this high standard are not easy to come by in this location. This one has retained many character features including the attractive exterior façade, high stud, arched windows and pretty bay window, but modernised including partial double-glazing, indoor/outdoor flow to a pretty patio garden and plenty of built-in cabinetry and cupboards. A formal living room upstairs is spacious and light, with those striking double-hung arched windows (double glazed) and in-built bookcases. You'll love the twinkling city lights in the evening as you look out over the city towards the harbour. This could also become a third bedroom, as there is a spacious open plan kitchen/dining and second living space that opens out to a sunny paved garden, complete with garden shed. The downstairs flat with its own entrance and small garden, has a double bedroom, fresh and bright living/kitchen and great storage. A single garage is a bonus in this street. If you are looking for city living without the body corp fee, work in the CBD or study at Victoria University, or just looking for a delightful home with an income to supplement your mortgage, please come and view. Builder's report and LIM available. Property ID: #WL25976
