A beautiful blend of old-world charm and modern-day living, this early 1900s villa offers the best of both worlds. Full of character and vintage appeal, it has been thoughtfully updated and extended to create a spacious and highly functional family home. Importantly, the owners have not had any issues with flooding.
At the heart of the home is the extended kitchen and generous living spaces, creating a natural hub for entertaining and everyday family life. A wonderful mix of original character, retro touches and contemporary updates creates a feel that is both timeless and effortlessly liveable.
Space is certainly not in short supply, with four generous double bedrooms, including one with its own queen-size mezzanine floor, perfect as a private retreat, reading nook or additional sleeping space. The home has a functional family bathroom with shower, bath and toilet, a separate laundry, and an addtional separate toilet. There’s also a substantial studio/rumpus room, offering flexibility as a home office, creative space, games room or teenagers’ retreat.
The large open-plan dining area and kitchen feature an adjoining scullery and bifold doors that open onto a sunny, north-facing deck. With sunshine throughout the day, this is an ideal spot for morning coffees, long lunches or entertaining friends in the evening. A separate lounge provides a cosy retreat, complete with a fireplace and heat transfer system to keep the home warm through the cooler months.
Outside, the generous 1,615sqm section provides plenty of room for everyone to spread out and enjoy. A chicken coop, established fruit trees and a dedicated garden full of New Zealand natives, complete with a charming little path, add to the relaxed garden setting.
There’s plenty of off-street parking, a separate single garage down the driveway for storage, garden equipment and kayaks, plus an attached double garage with workbenches, ideal for the hobbyist or home handyman.
And then there’s the location. Little Dynamite cafe and Thomas Brothers ice cream shop are literally across the road, Aliment Brewing is at the end of the driveway, and Riwaka School is within easy walking distance. Kaiteriteri Beach is just 10 minutes away.
A home full of character, space and sunshine, in a location that makes everyday living feel pretty special.
