28 Karu Crescent, Waikanae, Kapiti Coast, Wellington, 5036, New Zealand

Set back from the street in Waikanae’s sought-after garden precinct, this vintage beauty is a superb period property with the lush and peaceful scenery of Karu Reserve right on your doorstep.

Constructed in the 1950s, 28 Karu Crescent has retained many of its original details, while modern touches and updates through the years have created a home that feels light, fresh, and thoroughly infused with classic Kiwi charm.

The property’s location is exceptional too: even among the leafy streets of Waikanae, the shops, cafes, cinemas, and schools are just around the corner. This also means convenient access to-and-from Wellington, making commutes simple and effortless.

Both front and back gardens are gorgeous, and with high fences and mature foliage, you’re kept secluded and private no matter where you are. On the front lawn, a large deck welcomes you to the front door – the perfect location for a morning coffee to enjoy the birdsong – while at the back, a smaller deck overlooks the impeccably manicured lawn, fully fenced and free for kids and pets to play and roam.

With three good-sized bedrooms – all with built-in wardrobes – this property is a great size for families or downsizers, and the additional stand-alone studio in the garden is an ideal spot for a work-from-home office, hobby or craft space, or simply as a guest bedroom. The master in particular is very generously sized and boasts its own toilet and private access to the front deck.

As well as this the owners have consented plans for alterations and additions and will leave these with the property.

So if you’re looking for a property with plenty of character, and versatile space for work, play, and the every day, then look no further than the charming 28 Karu Crescent.
