25 Totara Road Miramar, Wellington City

Do me up and reap the rewards. If you want size, location AND you've got the motivation, this could become your perfect family home, home with an income stream, or simply provide the additional space for your extended family.

This large (204m2 approx) solid, 1930's home in the ever popular suburb of Miramar, consists of 4-5 bedrooms, open plan kitchen and family room, 2 bathrooms, plus a large brick-block double garage, with internal working space - the opportunities are boundless.

Features include:

- Short drive down a private driveway to a flat section, surrounded by mature trees, with a close, friendly community of neighbours

- The lower story comprises the double garage with automatic door, a separate workshop (with room for expansion or extra storage), leading off to one single and one double bedroom, both with built-in wardrobes, and the added advantage of a bathroom with a shower plus toilet

- Climb the stairs to the main living areas, which include a large open-plan kitchen and family room, sliding doors leading to a deck capturing the last of the afternoon sun, or head north into a private courtyard garden. Generous separate laundry off the kitchen

- Separate dining room, with gas fireplace, which could also be used as a second living area

- Three large double bedrooms (two with built-in wardrobes)

- The second bathroom includes a shower over the bath and a toilet

- Strip away the carpet to reveal beautiful rich Matai floors plus original Carrara ceilings waiting to be restored

- Many improvements have been made including complete exterior paint in 2015 and ceiling and underfloor insulation

- Quiet location but only minutes away from Miramar's shops, cafes, schools, transport and the Roxy Cinema

Make no mistake there is much work to be done on the interior, but the potential to capitalize on location and character is considerable.
