12 May Street, Gonville, Whanganui, Manawatu / Whanganui

Set on an elevated 680sqm section, this three-bedroom character residence pairs timeless charm with the kind of outdoor space families dream of: a backyard where fruit trees, a swing set and wide lawns create a daily reminder of what home should feel like.

Step inside to a light-filled lounge framed by bay windows, perfectly sized for movie nights, music practice or quiet evenings by the fire. The dining area connects seamlessly to the kitchen, where ample bench space, modern cabinetry and generous storage make everyday meals and larger gatherings easy. Adding even more versatility, the home also features a sun-room at the entry - a space perfect for morning coffee, casual reading, or simply soaking in the natural light. It could also serve as a quiet study or work-from-home corner.

Each of the three bedrooms brings its own personality: a spacious master that doubles as a retreat, a second with built-in storage and a study nook, and a third that’s ideal for a nursery, guest room or creative space. A family bathroom with both shower and bath, a separate toilet, and a full laundry to keep life organised.

Outdoor living is a standout here. A deck extends directly from the house, ensuring year-round use, while the expansive lawn easily accommodates backyard cricket, summer barbecues or simply room for kids to roam. A garden shed and separate garage provide the practical touches every Kiwi household needs.

And the location ties it all together. You’re close to Whanganui Hospital, local schools and shops, and just minutes from the Whanganui River. Practical, connected and filled with potential - this is a home where family life and future possibilities go hand in hand.
