A classic Waikanae Beach home with warmth, character and a real sense of calm. It's freshly updated and ready to move straight into.

It's light-filled, generously proportioned and has been given a new lease on life. It would make an easy bolt-hole, a lock-and-leave bach or a first home.

Upstairs is your own private retreat: a living space off the master bedroom, with its own renovated bathroom and a covered balcony looking out to the sea. It's a quiet place to start the day.

Downstairs, the open-plan kitchen, dining and living area keeps its old-school charm and flows out to a sunny new deck. There's room for everyone when friends and family come for the weekend, and it's ready for summer.

There are three double bedrooms and 120m² (approx.) of floor space, plus a separate downstairs renovated laundry/bathroom. Freshly polished native timber floors, new carpet and a heat pump keep it cosy year-round.

The section is a relatively flat 502m² (approx.) with off-street parking, on a quiet street where life slows down.

It suits a weekend getaway, retirement or a first home. The beach is an easy walk away, with shops and cafés close by.
