13 Matenga Street, Waikanae, Kapiti Coast, Wellington

Tucked behind mature hedging on a generous 1104m² section is a brilliant opportunity to end your house hunt. With a well-kept 110m² layout, two bedrooms, a separate storage building and grounds that have clearly been loved, this is a great property for downsizers, couples, small families or anyone craving a bit more breathing room without losing connection to town. Investors may also show interest with the large section having subdivision potential.

Beyond the foyer, the living room is wonderfully generous, with wide windows on multiple sides drawing in the greenery and natural light. A freestanding wood burner creates a cosy focal point for winter evenings, while the adjoining dining area keeps everyday living connected and easy. The kitchen is bright, practical, with good bench space, a freestanding stove, dishwasher, pantry storage and a layout that lets you stay part of the conversation while meals come together.

Both bedrooms are comfortably proportioned, with large windows, soft carpet and built-in wardrobes. The primary bedroom is especially well-sized and enjoys a calm garden outlook, while the second bedroom is ideal for guests, a home office or visiting family. The bathroom includes both a bath and separate shower, there is a separate WC for day-to-day ease, and the laundry is its own proper room with outdoor access.

Outdoors, the long gravel drive, circular turning area and established landscaping create a peaceful, picturesque entrance. Around the back, you have flat lawn for kids or pets, raised planter boxes for vegetables, paved areas for sitting in the sun, a rotary clothesline, and a standalone garden shed for tools, hobbies or weekend projects.

Waikanae is cherished for exactly this balance of calm and convenience, with its leafy streets, village feel and easy connection to the wider Kapiti Coast. Homes with this much garden, privacy and potential to simply settle in are getting harder to find.

I’d love to show you through and help you see whether this is the right fit.
