Doors open, conversations carry, and suddenly the deck becomes just as important as the living room. Set in Springvale, this three-bedroom home offers 112m² of floor area on a 608m² section, getting the balance right between practical day-to-day living and a backyard you’ll love to use.

Inside, the living room feels settled and inviting, centered around a white-painted brick fireplace and a wide window that pulls in light and garden views. The flow into dining and kitchen keeps everything connected, so cooking, talking and relaxing all happen in the same rhythm. The dining area links directly to the deck, making it easy to shift from weeknight meals indoors to long evenings outside.

All three bedrooms sit off a central hallway, giving a sense of separation from the main living areas. Each room is well proportioned with good natural light, while the first of two bathrooms is positioned to service all three bedrooms with ease. While a second bathroom includes both bath and shower in a combined bathroom/laundry layout. A separate toilet adds practicality, especially during busy mornings.

Outdoor living is where this home really settles in. There’s room here for kids and pets, in the fully fenced and secure backyard. While the corner section provides a sense of space. The freestanding garage takes care of parking or space for those weekend projects.

Springvale remains a consistently popular part of Whanganui for good reason, with quality local schools, parks and sports grounds all within easy reach, and straightforward access into the town centre.

If you’re looking for a home where the layout works and the outdoor living genuinely delivers, The Bournes would be glad to show you through.
