26 Plunket Street, Durie Hill, Whanganui, Manawatu / Whanganui

From the street, you'd never guess what's hiding up here.

Tucked quietly into a Durie Hill cul-de-sac, this home keeps its best secrets to itself - until you step inside. Then suddenly, boom: sweeping treetop and ocean views that feel wildly unexpected and completely addictive. Perched proudly on 2,360sqm (approx.) of leafy goodness, it's elevated, private, and just a little bit smug about it.

The open-plan living, dining and kitchen area soaks up the outlook, with double doors flinging open to a large, private deck made for long lunches, sunset wines, and "just one more" evenings. It's the kind of space that turns casual visitors into regulars.

The refreshed kitchen delivers a stylish glow-up - timber benchtops, crisp white cabinetry, bold black subway tiles, polished floors, and a full lineup of appliances (yes, they're staying). Function meets flair, and suddenly cooking feels like a lifestyle choice.

Winter comfort? Sorted. An HRV system and a wood burner have cosy nights handled.

Three generous bedrooms offer plush carpet and wardrobes, while the master frames peaceful bush views through oversized windows - retreat vibes without the airfare. A wet-floor shower, pedestal vanity, separate toilet, and full laundry with new tub round things out.

The substantial landholding protects your outlook, meaning no surprise rooftops popping up in your view. Yet you're still close to Whanganui's city centre, local shops, and within walking distance to Durie Hill Primary.

And here's the clincher - the bags are packed and the owners are on the move. This is not a "testing the market" moment. This is your opportunity.

Unexpected from the road. Unforgettable inside.

Call Rob to arrange your viewing - before someone else discovers the secret.
