Paritūtū on the horizon is a good reason to linger over breakfast. From its elevated setting, this three-bedroom Spotswood home looks out across New Plymouth, with a conservatory ready for the morning coffee ritual. Set on a 612m² section (more or less) with 190m² (more or less) of floor area and a double garage, it offers character, views and room for everyday life.

Upstairs, a raked timber ceiling brings warmth to the living room, where a wood burner is ready for cool Taranaki nights. The adjoining dining area enjoys a heat pump for year-round comfort, while the kitchen has a breakfast bar, plenty of bench room and storage for all the usual bits and pieces. Doors lead to the conservatory, a spot to sip coffee, watch the light shift and take in the view without the wind getting in the way.

The primary bedroom is a good size, with a built-in wardrobe and a calm, timber-lined feel. Two more bedrooms sit off the hall, giving you options for family, guests or a home office. The bathroom has a bath, a separate shower and vanity, while a separate wc keeps mornings moving. Downstairs, the separate laundry, entry and storage room add some welcome ease, whether it’s tools, bikes or the gear you’d rather keep out of sight.

Outside, the section is filled with colour: flower beds, green lawn, clipped shrubs and garden paths that invite a wander. There’s room for kids to play and a sunny spot to pull up a chair. An internal-access garage sits at ground level, plus additional off street parking. The elevated setting also gives this home a little more of the outlook that makes it stand out.

From Crownhill Street, Spotswood Primary School and Spotswood College are nearby, while Ngāmotu Beach, Back Beach and the Coastal Walkway give your weekends a coastal feel. Supermarket and cafés are within easy reach too. Taranaki Base Hospital is also an easy drive from this address.
