61 Swinburn Street, Dannevirke, Tararua, Manawatu / Whanganui

Built in 1925, this substantial 151m² weatherboard home sits proudly on a generous 1,113m² fully fenced section and offers the kind of scale, proportions and character that are increasingly hard to find.

Home's of this era were built with space in mind, and that is immediately evident, with room for growing families, future improvements and genuine value add potential. The secure grounds are ideal for kids and pets, with established shrubs and trees providing privacy, a gated driveway for peace of mind, and a large gravelled area behind the garage that comfortably accommodates extra vehicles, a boat, trailer or work gear.

Inside, the home opens through a practical mud room and into the house via a ranch slider, with the laundry positioned immediately to the right, creating a functional and family friendly entry point. From here, the layout flows through to a generous open-plan kitchen and dining area that suits large families or entertainers, offering ample space to modernise while retaining the solid feel of a classic home, with a ranch slider opening out to a side outdoor entertaining area.

A large separate lounge provides a second living zone, perfect for family time or quiet evenings.

Accommodation continues to impress with three exceptionally spacious double bedrooms, true to the era, and a large family bathroom, with previous consideration given to the potential of dividing one bedroom to create a fourth if desired. This is a property with strong bones, excellent proportions and the opportunity to breathe new life into a well built home, whether through a full renovation or gradual improvement over time.

Set in a well established neighbourhood, it enjoys a peaceful position away from the main street while remaining close to the Wai Splash swimming pool, local parks and community amenities, making it a compelling option for families seeking space, security, character and future upside.
