17 Godwin Crescent, College Estate, Whanganui, Manawatu / Whanganui

There’s an instant sense of comfort about this College Estate classic – the kind that comes from quality craftsmanship, natural light and years of care. Hidden behind a picture-perfect façade and embraced by established greenery, this home feels grounded yet full of life, unfolding beautifully as you move through it.

The moment you enter, the home’s character shines through – rich timber accents, lofty ceilings and natural light that fills every corner.

The living area is generous in scale yet effortlessly inviting, offering plenty of room for family gatherings and everyday living. A wood burner brings a cosy glow through the cooler months, complemented by a heat pump and HRV system to ensure year-round comfort. With space to style as you wish – perhaps a reading nook or games area – this room offers a level of versatility that’s hard to find.

The kitchen carries a hint of retro charm, perfectly functional yet brimming with potential for a future refresh. Adjoining it, the dining area is a natural gathering point for morning coffees, evening chats or weekend baking sessions.

Down the hall, five bedrooms offer space for everyone - family, guests, or that much-needed home office. Two bathrooms, a separate laundry with built-in cabinetry, and a separate third toilet add ease to everyday life.

Outdoors, the 880 sqm section is the show-stopper. A covered deck steps down to a lush backyard framed by mature trees, raised garden beds, and fruiting greenery. There’s a veggie patch, chicken run, and space for kids, pets or projects. The double outbuildings - garage plus workshop - give every hobby its place, whether you’re tinkering, building or simply storing life’s extras.

College Estate has is a location that brims with character and quality, with tree-lined streets, great schooling, cafés and river walks within easy reach. The CBD’s a short drive, yet the neighbourhood still feels calm, friendly and unmistakably local.
