This is the kind of home you buy when you’re done compromising.

Set against the green contours of Durie Hill, this contemporary single-level residence offers space that feels deliberate, calm and genuinely easy to call home. Everything about it is designed to simplify your days while giving you room to live well, inside and out.

The heart of the home is the open-plan kitchen, dining and living area, where clean lines, generous proportions and natural light do the heavy lifting. Sliding doors stretch the living space straight onto a wide timber deck, creating a seamless flow that works just as well for quiet mornings as it does for long evenings with friends. The deck runs the length of the home, giving multiple rooms direct outdoor access and reinforcing that sense of connection to the landscape beyond.

The kitchen is gorgeous, anchored by a large island that naturally becomes the gathering point. There’s excellent bench space, streamlined cabinetry and a walk-in pantry that keeps everything organised and out of sight.

The master is a true retreat, opening directly to the deck and enjoying a peaceful outlook toward the hills, supported by a well-finished ensuite and walk-in wardrobe. The remaining bedrooms are generously sized, light-filled, and serviced by a contemporary family bathroom with both a full bath and separate shower.

Outside, the scale of the section gives you options. A fully fenced lawn provides room for kids, pets or future landscaping ideas, while the concrete driveway and double internal-access garage offer serious off-street parking, ideal for extra vehicles, caravan or boat. While an additional stand alone double garage with workshop provides plenty of space for projects.

From here, you’re minutes to Whanganui’s town centre, schools, cafés and everyday amenities, yet tucked in Durie Vale where things feel calmer, greener and more established.
