Beachside perfection in Pukerua Bay

OFFERS ABOVE $995,000 are invited for a sensational beachfront home in Pukerua Bay.

The sunny four-bedroom house, at 6 Ocean Pde, is across the road from the beach on a 541-square metre section with an internalaccess double-garage and off-street parking for two cars.

“Built in 1964, the owners have modernised it to make full use of the beachfront location and views while being sympathetic to retain the cool beach vibe of this sixties beauty,” Chris Kennedy, of Ray White, says.

The split-level 130sqm weatherboard-and-brick house has a new Colorsteel roof and faces north with South Island and Kapiti

Island views.

It is insulated and partially double-glazed, has a wood burner in the living/dining area and polished matai floorboards throughout, and abounds in natural light because of extensive glazing.

Indoor-outdoor living with spectacular sea views is another signature feature.

The large, new deck off the living/dining room has a built-in barbeque, table and seating while at the rear of the property are a covered garden bar or al fresco area with a heater, garden terraces, native bush, and a recently built pergola or yoga platform.

“It’s hard to imagine a lovelier place from which to contemplate,” Kennedy says.

The same is true of the living/ dining area, which has a high stud, maximises the view with floor-toceiling glazing, and is open-plan with the kitchen.

“The kitchen and living/dining area are perfect for entertaining, “Kennedy says.

The kitchen includes an oven, dishwasher, and refrigeratorfreezer while the laundry has a washing machine and dryer.

Two of the double-bedrooms step up from the living/dining area, a third is at the rear of the house, and the fourth is downstairs.

The designer bathroom has a standalone bath and shower; the toilet is separate.

“The owners have loved living in such a picturesque setting for the last 10 years,” Kennedy says.

“They’re going to miss everything from the views of Kapiti Island to being able to fish, kayak and swim on their doorstep.

“This is without doubt one very cool house on one of Wellington’s best beaches.

“Pukerua Bay is a familyorientated and friendly community with a wonderful year 1-8 school, and numerous community facilities.

“It’s currently a 25-minute commute to Wellington City, but with Transmission Gully nearing completion travel time will be even shorter and will bring instant capital gain to this stunning beachfront property.”
