Three bedrooms plus a studio with another three rooms make up this standout position, a lifestyle that feels anchored in place.

Built in the 1960s, this six room, two bathroom home really allows lots of space. It carries the strength and character of its era while adapting easily to modern life. The sunken lounge is a generous focal point, warmed by natural light and designed for family connection. It flows naturally to the dining and kitchen, where ample storage and bench space keep things practical for everyday meals and easy for entertaining.

The bedrooms provide comfort and privacy, supported by a family bathroom and a cleverly designed laundry-pantry that makes routines seamless. Then comes the bonus: a separate three-room studio with its own shower and WC. Whether it’s a dedicated home office, creative retreat, teen hangout or private guest suite, this kind of flexibility is rare.

Outside, the property matches the scale of the home. A wide concreted forecourt and three-bay carport provide parking for boats, trailers and multiple vehicles. Fruiting trees, raised beds, and a lawn big enough for pets, chooks and backyard games keep things family-friendly, while a covered entertaining space makes gatherings easy year-round.

And of course, the river. Out the back fence you’re met with a natural border that changes with the seasons - tranquil, grounding, and unmistakably Whakatāne. Why not nip over for some white baiting?! Ōhope Beach is within easy reach, while schools, shops, and the town centre are close enough to keep life absolutely convenient.

This is more than a home. It’s a property that balances character, spaciousness and a location most only dream of.

Opportunities to live this close to the riverside in Whakatāne don’t come often. Call Team Exceed at Arizto today.
