We’re not going to pretend this one’s perfect — and that’s exactly why it’s exciting.

If you’ve got a bit of vision (and don’t mind rolling up your sleeves), you’ll see what we see: a fantastic wee home in a cracking beachside location, where opportunity is knocking a little louder than usual. This is the kind of place that rewards effort — not extravagance — and lets you add value without overcapitalising or getting carried away.

Inside, the layout is simple, functional, and full of potential. Three bedrooms provide flexibility for families, guests, or a work-from-home setup, while the bathroom is supported by a separate toilet — a small detail that makes a big difference in everyday life. A separate laundry off the rear door keeps the practical stuff tucked away, and the carport ensures the car (and groceries) are covered.

The fully fenced section is ideal for kids, pets, or both — and best of all, it’s manageable. You get the outdoor space without sacrificing your weekends to endless lawn mowing.

Now, let’s be upfront. The interior is tired. It needs new carpet and a fresh coat of paint. No sugar-coating that. But here’s the upside: the bones are good, the flow works, and the updates required are the kind that make an immediate difference. This is a blank canvas where cosmetic improvements will go a long way — perfect for first-home buyers, renovators, or anyone wanting a solid base near the beach.

And the location? That’s the real kicker. Just moments from Paraparaumu Beach, you’ll have cafés, coastal walks, swimming spots, and the Saturday markets all within easy reach. It’s that laid-back beach lifestyle everyone’s chasing — jandals, morning swims, sunset strolls, and the sound of the sea never far away.

Bring your ideas. Bring your vision. Roll up your sleeves and make it your own. This one isn’t trying to be something it’s not — and that’s exactly why it’s worth a proper look.
