68B James Street, Whakatane, Bay Of Plenty

Here's a calm, elevated retreat right in the heart of Whakatane. Set above the road and screened by mature planting, this modern, double-glazed home enjoys a sense of privacy and quiet that’s instantly reassuring, making it an ideal fit for professionals, downsizers or small families wanting central convenience without the noise.

The heart of the home is a sun-washed open-plan living, dining and kitchen zone designed for easy, everyday living. Large windows and sliding doors draw in natural light and leafy outlooks, while the contemporary kitchen anchors the space with crisp white cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, generous bench space and a central island that doubles as a social hub. It’s a layout that feels open and connected, yet comfortable and practical for daily life.

Three well-proportioned bedrooms provide relaxed, private quarters, each enjoying good natural light and a cohesive, neutral palette. One bedroom opens directly onto the verandah, offering a lovely connection to the outdoors. The central bathroom is neatly finished with both a bathtub and separate shower, while a dedicated laundry keeps household routines tucked neatly away.

Outdoor living is a real highlight. A long, covered verandah stretches along the front of the home, creating a sheltered space for morning coffees, evening drinks or simply watching the garden below change with the seasons. The fully fenced backyard is beautifully maintained, with manicured lawns, mature trees and layered planting that blend tropical and temperate foliage for year-round appeal.

Below the home, practicality shines. The elevated design allows for extensive under-house storage, along with a permanent double carport that easily accommodates vehicles, tools, hobbies or weekend projects. This popular central location puts Kopeopeo Shopping Village, the hospital, supermarkets and everyday amenities just minutes away on foot, making daily life refreshingly simple.
