81 Purnell Street, College Estate, Whanganui, Manawatu / Whanganui

Beautifully presented and bursting with character, this charming two-bedroom home with sleepout sits proudly on a generous 672sqm section in the ever-popular College Estate. With its tranquil garden setting, fresh contemporary style choices, and superb location right across from Whanganui High School, it’s the perfect place to call home.

The home is a visual delight, with fresh style choices, a cohesive colour palette, and thoughtful touches throughout. A standout kitchen brings charm and practicality together, with a stunning timber benchtop, stylish sage and white cabinetry, and French doors that flow beautifully outside. The built-in breakfast bar is a clever addition, and pendant lighting adds the perfect finishing touch.

The open-plan layout, which is heated with a woodburner, connects the sunny dining space and cosy living area effortlessly. With peaceful green views from every room, it’s an easy home to love — filled with natural light and styled for relaxed, everyday living. Feature wallpaper brings a splash of personality in the dining room, and even the hallway is a beautiful masterpiece.

Both bedrooms are stylish and family-friendly, with the master offering a walk-in wardrobe, ceiling fan, and a lovely garden outlook. Both bathrooms are well designed with bold flooring and fresh modern style.

Adding even more appeal is a spacious sleepout with kitchenette, complete with a large double bedroom with high raked ceilings. Whether it’s used for guests, teenagers, or extended family, it’s a fantastic extra space with real flexibility.

Outside, the property continues to impress with a new roof, and room on the section for a second sleepout (subject to council consent). There’s a charming covered patio for quiet afternoons, a pond, greenhouse, and a separate grassed area the kids will love.

A special home with modern flair, traditional charm, and a location that’s hard to beat.
