There's a certain kind of home that feels as though it's been lifted from the pages of a well-loved novel - where every corner holds a story, and every chapter has been gently written over time. This character bungalow set one back from the waterfront reserve is exactly that. Relocated and cherished by the current owners, it has remained in the same family for generations, its history woven quietly through each room.

Step inside and you're welcomed by high ceilings and a home of timeless charm. Open-plan, light-filled living flows effortlessly, with wraparound decks and a louvre awning spilling out to lawned gardens - perfect for long afternoons that drift into evening. With three bedrooms, a well-appointed bathroom, and abundant storage throughout, this is a home made to be lived in-a space that blends comfort and character at every turn. Just a stone's throw from the crystal waters, days begin with barefoot walks along the shore and end beneath the pohutukawa trees, book in hand, with the gentle rhythm of the sea never far away.

There's space here for life to unfold in your own way. A separate cabin to the rear becomes whatever you need it to be - a home office, a creative retreat, or a place for teenagers to gather and grow. At the front of the home, a room currently utilised as a fourth bedroom offers flexibility; open it back into the living area to restore its original flow, or keep it as a quiet lounge or workspace.

A newly concreted driveway leads to excellent off-street parking, with room for a boat, caravan or extra vehicles.

This is a home that has been lived in, loved, and added to over time - each layer a chapter, every nook filled with history. And now, with the current owners onto their next adventure, it's time for the next story to be told.
