3 Gates Road, Waikanae Beach, Kapiti Coast, Wellington, 5036, New Zealand
This place might be at the end of the road, but it could just be the beginning of something special: it’s a gateway to possibilities where your noisiest neighbours are the Tui.
Hugging the hillside on peaceful Gates Road, this is a property with staggering potential just minutes from some of Kapiti’s most idyllic areas. A brief stroll gets you straight to the beach, while the stunning Waimanu and Waimeha Lagoons are on Waikanae’s back doorstep.
Like its surroundings, this classic 1950s weatherboard property has its own natural beauty. The large, meandering garden is lush with native trees and stonework that lead you up the sloped section, providing an elevated view of the hills and neighbourhood, with secluded alfresco spaces dotted here and there.
The generous wooden rear patio, bordered by railway sleeper retaining walls and steps, is an oasis for green fingers and sleepy sunbathers. Inside, the open concept living, dining, and kitchen areas connect to this outdoor space through French doors, offering all-day sun and constant views of the surrounding splendour. It’s a light and calm area that’s perfect for entertaining around the kitchen island, or for cooking up a storm with the impressive 5-burner stove in the heart of this home.
The three bedrooms are all doubles, and the generous master looks out onto the peacefully quiet and soaks up the afternoon sun. Just across the central hallway is a family bathroom, with a separate toilet.
All rooms still feature well-kept original Rimu floors, insulated ceilings, and sash windows, which really accentuate the classic charm and timeless style.
So if you’re looking for a family home with character and stunning natural beauty, or an investment property with real potential in one of Waikanae’s most peaceful neighbourhoods, look no further.
