12 & 12A Wairaka Road, Pukerua Bay, Porirua, Wellington

Here’s one for the buyers who like options.

Sitting on one title are two completely separate homes, each offering something very different, and plenty of scope for whoever takes them on next.

Tucked away at the rear, 12A is the newer of the two homes, built in the 2000s and offering loads of space. There are three good-sized bedrooms plus a study, two bathrooms and a generous open-plan living area that works really well for families or flatmates. A double internal access garage adds to the practicality, while recent updates including new carpet downstairs, fresh paint and new kitchen fixtures mean you can move straight in. We also have a rental appraisal available for this home.

Then there’s 12 Wairaka at the front. This original 1920s two-bedroom cottage is very much a project for someone who can see what it could become. With open-plan kitchen and living and good off-street parking, the question is what do you do with it? Bring it back to life with a renovation, or start again and make the most of the site?

The current vendor has previously had plans drawn up for the front area, and these can be passed on to the new owner.

There are so many ways this property could work. Live comfortably in the rear home while you tackle the front. Have extended family nearby without everyone living under the same roof. Explore rental income, or investigate what may be possible with the site in the future.

And then there’s Pukerua Bay itself. Schools, the village, public transport and the coastline are all close by, with the RSA literally across the road.

Two homes. One title. Plenty of options.

Come along, walk through both and see what you’d do with it.
