If you want to live close to the city but feel lost in a world of your own, surrounded by native bush, birdsong and serenity, you won't find a better spot than this. Tucked away in city-end Johnsonville, is this amazing four-bedroom hideaway with scope to add value in an incredibly private, practical, picturesque 2205sqm setting. Features include:

- Four double-bedrooms with built-in wardrobes and two bathrooms, ideal for a growing family
- Versatility of a large rumpus room with a kitchenette that would be ideal as a re-treat for teenagers, a bedroom suite for extended family, or a deluxe work-from-home space with French doors to decking
- Fantastic indoor-outdoor flow to upper deck off the kitchen and living/dining room for sunny BBQ bliss on a hot summers evening
- Safely set back from the road on a largely sheltered, unbelievably peaceful bush-clad section
- Plenty of space for off-street parking and to add garaging and a workshop if you're a tradesperson of any kind
- City-end Johnsonville proximity to train station, bus routes and the motorway for easy access to the CBD, Porirua and Hutt Valley

Who would have thought you could be this close to the capital city and enjoy so much space, solitude and potential to add value at your leisure.
