Harbour views at Seatoun stunner

TENDERS CLOSE on October 1 for a Seatoun home with stunning harbour views from nearly every room and zoning for bothWorser Bay and Seatoun Schools.

The four-bedroom house, at 20 Newport Tce, was built in 1957 on a sheltered 462-square metre section with terraced garden and off-street parking.

It has a weatherboard exterior with an iron roof and includes an internal garage with workshop space and room for two cars.

“We bought it because we loved the views,” the vendors say, “and then we discovered it had its own sheltered microclimate.

“Weta’s just down the road, there’s a short-cut to the beach and Seatoun Wharf, and the neighbourhood’s very community-minded.”

As well as repainting inside and out, the owners have installed LED lighting throughout, insulated under the floor and in the ceiling, and built front and rear decks.

The front door of the 140 square metre dwelling opens off the first deck into a large, light-filled living/dining room with a northeast aspect, panoramic views and original floorboards that continue into the family or TV room.

The kitchen has an electric range and rangehood, and adjoins a large separate laundry.

The four bedrooms are in a separate wing with extensive storage, and each faces east for great sun and views.

They share a bathroom with a bath and shower; the toilet is separate.

A fifth bedroom, rumpus or work from home space is downstairs while behind the house is a terraced garden with raised vegetable beds, space for a trampoline, a barbecue area and a large deck with breathtaking views from the Hutt Valley to Pencarrow.

“This is a really lovely family home for all ages and stages,” Annie Newell, of Lowe & Co Realty, says.

“It’s a classic 1960s-style construction with clean lines that lends itself to contemporary living and is elevated for beautiful views in its own sheltered microclimate.

“It’s also within walking distance of Worser Bay and Seatoun beach and also Seatoun andMiramar villages. Being in two school zones means you can send your children to the one that best suits their personalities.”

The property has a rateable value of $1 million.
