72 Elizabeth Street, Waikanae, Kapiti Coast, Wellington

Tucked away in a peaceful setting, this appealing property offers exceptional privacy, good off-street parking, and beautifully established gardens that are truly something special. Lovingly created from scratch, the garden thrives year-round; “pretty much everything grows well here,” say my clients. From flourishing roses and mature shrubs to established trees and fruit varieties, this is a paradise for green thumbs. A magnificent swan plant continually regenerates, attracting an abundance of admiral butterflies and adding a magical touch to the outdoor experience.

Perfect for couples who love to garden or a young family looking for space and serenity, the home also shines as an entertainer’s retreat. A well-appointed outdoor bar features a deck, seating, and outdoor sink, ideal for summer evenings, weekend gatherings or relaxed family time.

Inside, the home offers open-plan lounge and dining flowing into an updated kitchen, where you’ll enjoy pretty hill views while you cook. There are three good-sized bedrooms, a sunny conservatory, a full bathroom and a separate toilet for everyday convenience. Outside, you’ll find a generous workshop and storage area, a concrete patio and ample off-road parking with room to add a garage if desired.

Set in a quiet location yet close to schools, shops, local amenities, roading and the train station, this home delivers the best of both worlds. You’re just minutes from Hemi Matenga Scenic Reserve with its rewarding ocean views, a short drive to the beach, and easy commuting into Wellington.

Privacy, lifestyle, and potential; this is a home that truly grows on you.
