10 Douglas Street, Paraparaumu Beach, Kapiti Coast, Wellington

Privately positioned within Paraparaumu Beach’s golden triangle, this thoughtfully evolved home offers a rare balance of character, flexibility, and outdoor connection—just moments from the sand. Think one big home, home and income, granny flat, interdependent living, or Airbnb.

Originally built in the 1960s and carefully updated over time, the home unfolds across two generous levels, each with its own sense of purpose. A self-contained ground floor apartment creates exceptional flexibility, comprising spacious open living, a bathroom, two bedrooms, and outdoor entertaining space, while the main living level benefits a modernised kitchen, and has multiple outdoor zones on both the eastern and western sides. Timber floors, a wood burner, and a timeless kitchen anchor the upstairs living space, while a covered veranda provides a sheltered setting for year-round entertaining.

There are two bedrooms on the main level too, plus ensuite, and family bathroom. Wide hallways, internal-access garaging, an internal room currently used as a study, and thoughtful future-proofing features including a stairway chair-lift, complete a home designed to adapt with ease.

Homes that offer this level of versatility, warmth, and location are rarely available—this is one worth experiencing in person.
