14 Kea Street, Waikanae, Kapiti Coast, Wellington, 5036, New Zealand
Over a century old and boasting some of the best views on the Kapiti Coast, this home is a masterclass of elegance, vintage style, and pure panoramic bliss.
14 Kea Street is a stunning antique villa, built in the 1920s and with major restorations during the 2000s. With this storied history, the home preserves many of its beautiful period features in the construction and detailing, including high ceilings with crown mouldings, wainscoting on the walls, and timber flooring throughout.
Elevated from Waikanae and backing onto the picturesque Hemi Matenga Memorial Park, the views from the covered veranda, and lounge and dining space within, are second to none: your morning coffee or evening tipple are truly something else with this view over the coast and toward Kapiti Island.
If that view alone isn’t incredible enough, the rest of 14 Kea Street will surely win you over. The property has three generous double bedrooms, a spacious master boasting an ensuite with spa bath and underfloor heating, an enormous walk-in wardrobe, and access to the rear deck. The family bathroom is similarly well-equipped, with a cubicle shower and classic cast-iron claw-foot bath – for another touch of sophistication.
The social spaces here are truly something else: a radiant kitchen-dining space offers modern hardware, gas hobs, and colourful tiled splashback, not to mention the views; while you’re spoiled for choice with two living rooms providing either access to the veranda, or out to the patio area for alfresco dining and entertaining. Every space is graced by sunlight through large sash windows and emanates the warm, charming character of a beautiful vintage home.
All of this is barely scratching the surface of this beautiful period property.
