Cute Out Front, Clever Out Back!

Cute gardens, a Lockwood with heart and a little surprise out the back… welcome to 21 Gemstone Drive!

If you're looking for a home that feels good, lives well and offers a little more than you'd expect, you're going to want this one on your radar.

Behind that sweet street presence is a surprisingly spacious 130sqm, three-bedroom Lockwood packed with warmth, natural light and tasteful improvements. It's private, sunny and has that hard-to-manufacture feeling of home. You know the one!

The lounge is generous, the woodburner brings the cosy factor, and the kitchen connects with a sun-drenched dining area. Prefer a casual second sitting room instead? My current clients do. Around here, the spaces are ready to work however you want them to.

And just when you think you've seen it all…

There's a separate, powered 8.64sqm studio! Working from home? Starting a beauty business? Need a craft room, hobby hideaway or somewhere to escape the family for five minutes? This little bonus space has options galore.

Outside, the gorgeous landscaping brings all the charm, while the fully fenced 555sqm freehold section means the kids can play, the pets can roam and you can actually relax. Add a detached single garage and you've got the practical stuff covered, too.

What we absolutely love about 21 Gemstone Drive:

• Super spacious family room and combined dining with wood burner • Modern kitchen with ceramic cooktop, powerpack extraction, underbench oven, dishwasher • Three generous sized bedrooms with inbuilt wardrobes, master with walk in robe. • Family bathroom with shower over bath, w/c, heated towel rail, heat lamps and extractor fan • Separate laundry • Insulation in ceiling and underfloor • Detached 8.64sqm cabin - art studio, home office, hobbies room, salon...take your pick! • Detached single garage with workshop • Beautifully landscaped gardens on fully fenced property, rear section is also gated • Local school and kindergarten within short walking distance, as is the bus stop and super close to Harcourt Park and Summer pool and Upper Hutt's most admired Hutt River Trail. • RV $690,000, Floor area 130sqm, Freehold land area 555sqm, Upper Hutt City Council rates $2,665.83, Tiaki Wai rates $1,903.56, • LIM available

Honestly, there's more to this property than meets the eye, and photos alone won't do it justice.

Don't be the one who drives past and misses out. Get inside, have a look around and see why 21 Gemstone Drive is an absolute MUST SEE. Contact me today to arrange a private viewing, otherwise... I'll see you at the next open home!

A rating valuation is the council's figure for apportioning rates, not a market appraisal. Sale prices are as published; a code beside a price is the council's sale type — hover it for what it means. “Off the market” only means the property stopped being advertised: it may have sold, been withdrawn or moved to another agency.

If it is yours, claiming it puts the council record, the title and what it costs you to hold in one place — and lets you put your lending, insurance and power out to people who compete for them.

Free. Takes about a minute.

We check your name against the registered owner on the title before a claim is accepted. Nothing on this page changes for anyone else, and no provider is contacted until you ask.

What claiming gets you
1One live recordCouncil valuation, title details and registered interests, kept current rather than gathered again every time you need them.
2Your lending in the pictureAdd what you owe, or connect the bank, and the equity and LVR stop being a calculation you redo by hand.
3Providers compete for itPut the mortgage, the insurance and the power out to people who want the business — on your terms, when you ask.
4Everything else you ownOne search finds other titles in your name and in companies you are a director of.

Zoning and hazards

What the council's published maps say about this land. A map is a model of a storm, not a record of one: a LIM or a flood report says more.

Reading the council's maps…

What could you build here?

See whether a granny flat fits beside the house: the Building Act exemption, the national granny flat rules and the zone’s own. Then ask builders to price the shape you pick.
