121 Amohia Street, Paraparaumu, Kapiti Coast, Wellington

For those that are seeking character, privacy and extensive established gardens, 121 Amohia Street is Paraparaumu's best kept secret. A home and garden to experience and enjoy where words and pictures alone will not come close to how you will feel walking through this well loved and beautifully maintained home and gardens.

Built pre-1900’s, this home exudes immeasurable charm, previously known as the Pudney Guest house and frequented by Francis Hodgkins the renowned New Zealand artist. Just over the cattle grid and up the gravel driveway past the impressive Rimu tree you will be entranced by the unexpectedly large grounds. Established trees; nut, fruit, natives, attracting an array of bird life, as well as an innumerable species of shrubs and flowers, frame an enchanting character home. You will marvel at this hidden paradise, set right in the middle of suburbia.

This charming weatherboard home has more than withstood the test of time and has been impeccably cared for by its current owner. The house has been repainted inside and out recently, with new carpeting and drapes to some rooms. You will enjoy practical spaces and upgrades that complement and work with the many heartwarming nods to the home’s obvious history. There is a choice of casual and formal living spaces; a formal lounge with reading nook and open fireplace, a large study or library, two double downstairs bedrooms, and two upstairs bedrooms, (single and double.) The bathroom has had a stylish makeover with a generous walk-in shower, and there’s a second toilet/ hand basin and a separate laundry.

Day to day living is easy with a well-appointed practical kitchen and dining, with restful views over the lawn and gardens, plus a comfortable family room with wet back /wood burner. Step out through French doors onto a large northwest facing deck perfect for entertaining. There’s also a covered seating area and a spa to relax and soak up the restful surroundings.

Dreamt of being self-sufficient? This is the perfect property with existing fruit and nut trees, an abundant vegetable garden and unlimited scope for more, plus your own bore and pump. This really is a gardener’s dream, commended by local gardening groups who frequently come to wander through the extensive pathways and gardens and admire the beautiful surroundings. Expansive lawns, beckon kiddies (and grown-ups) to play ball games, picnic, explore the pathways and climb the trees. (There’s a treehouse too!)

At just under an acre, this could also attract those looking for property to develop, with the land classified as “intensive urban residential.” For those looking to build a second dwelling, my client has already completed the hard work with a current resource consent valid until April 2027 and has fulfilled almost all the requirements to complete a subdivision. The proposed separate section is approximately 900 sqm and includes plans for a four-bedroom home offering a place for extended family or an attractive investment. There are simply so many options here to suit several demographics and individual requirements and lifestyles.

This home is surprisingly located in the heart of Paraparaumu with all local amenities on your doorstep, whilst also providing you with your own private garden oasis. Words are simply not enough to describe this most cherished, well-maintained character home, with its many original features and special gardens.
