COUNTRY LIVING IN WHITBY

BEO $1,595,000 | RV $1,720,000

There’s something incredibly special about this property. From the moment you arrive, it feels like you’ve escaped the city, yet you’re still right here in Whitby with shops, transport and schools all within easy reach.

Set across 1.46ha of beautifully established land, this well-presented 220m2 single level brick home offers the kind of lifestyle many people dream about, without the upkeep or isolation that often comes with true rural living. The owners say one of the things they’ve loved most is having the country feel, without the pain of being off-grid.

Surrounded by rolling hills, native planting and birdlife, this is the sort of property where tui and kereru are regular visitors, and the night sky is so clear you can sit outside under the Milky Way. There’s even a favourite bench seat on the hill where you can take in the outlook and just slow things down for a while.

Inside, the home is warm, welcoming and surprisingly spacious. Offering four bedrooms, two bathrooms plus a separate guest toilet, it has been designed for comfortable family living with excellent flow throughout. The kitchen is the true social hub of the home complete with a large island, scullery and fantastic entertaining space where everyone naturally gathers. Even the breakfast view from the kitchen window is something the vendors say they’ll genuinely miss.

Ducted heat pumps throughout, combined with the wood burner, keep the home warm and cosy year-round. The wide hallway has also become somewhat famous with the family for sock-sliding competitions.

And then there’s the laundry… a space so good the vendor has joked she wants to take it with her.

The location strikes a brilliant balance between peace and convenience. It’s approximately five minutes to Whitby Village, around eight minutes’ walk to the bus stop, and roughly 13 minutes by car to Porirua Station. You truly get the feeling of being away from it all, while still staying connected to everyday life.

Add in awesome neighbours and a setting that feels worlds away from suburbia, and you have a property that offers far more than just a home it’s a lifestyle people rarely want to leave.
