5 Nile Street, Whanganui East, Whanganui, Manawatu / Whanganui

Occasionally, a truly special home comes onto the market - one that captures both heart and heritage. 5 Nile Street is a generously proportioned home built by a craftsman builder in the enduring English cottage style, offered for sale for the very first time since its creation in 1987.

Step inside to discover spacious, inviting rooms designed to accommodate family life and entertaining with ease. The home features large separate kitchen and dining rooms, formal lounge and family room, and four bedrooms plus an office and storage room. With a separate spa bathroom, en suite, shower room and three toilets, comfort and convenience abound. Storage is plentiful and a massive double garage with internal access includes extra workshop space, ready for hobbies or additional storage. The craftsmanship is evident, from the bespoke Tawa kitchen cabinetry to the warm redwood-paneled walls and ceilings. Wall and ceiling insulation ensure year-round comfort, while the thoughtful layout maximises generous living spaces. Sunlit paved patios flow effortlessly from the living areas, ideal for alfresco dining or enjoying the natural ambience and birdsong.

The beautifully landscaped grounds blending into Nature’s garden at the rear are made for garden rambles, children, pets and entertaining guests. Wander along a charming duckboard path leading down to the tranquil Matarawa stream. This peaceful retreat also features a fishpond and a unique foundation built for a fish smoker. The property’s blend of native and exotic trees creates a vibrant haven for native birds, including tui and kereru.

The section provides a real adventure playground and hours of happy exploration for children and pets, and the stream offers the promise of whitebait and fishing. In addition to the spacious garaging, a versatile “boat shed” provides cover for extra vehicles, a small boat, general storage, or possibly potential for conversion to studio or workshop. Ample off-street parking accommodates multiple vehicles or campervan. 5 Nile Street is more than a house - it’s a warm, inviting sanctuary where craftsmanship meets countryside charm, ready to welcome its next chapter.
