Set on a sunny corner in Whanganui’s central suburb, this early-century weatherboard home offers both charm and opportunity. With its classic façade, high ceilings and generous proportions, it’s a property that speaks to those with vision, ready to be refreshed, reimagined or restored.
The home opens to two spacious bedrooms and two bathrooms, anchored by a light-filled living area with rich timber panelling and tall sash windows that bring in warmth and natural light. The adjoining dining room provides a flexible second living or entertaining space, while two compact kitchens allow for multi-use living, ideal for extended family, guests or a potential home-and-income setup.
Character details remain throughout, from decorative ceilings to traditional trims, while modern conveniences such as heat pumps and updated bathroom fittings ensure daily ease. The home’s thoughtful layout creates both connection and privacy, with wide hallways and multiple access points enhancing flow.
Outside, a small but manageable section of approximately 258 m² offers room for pot plants, raised beds or a tidy courtyard garden. The position couldn’t be more central, just moments from shops, cafes, river walks and Whanganui’s vibrant town centre, with public transport and schools nearby.
Whether you’re an investor looking for a central project, a first-home buyer with a flair for renovation, or someone seeking character close to the city’s cultural heart, this property presents an affordable step into one of Whanganui’s most convenient pockets. This charming cottage has a long term tenant who would love to stay.
