Elegant riverside villa

Fireplace nights, sun-filled mornings and river views — this is a home that makes everyday living feel special. With three bedrooms, two living areas, two bathrooms, and versatile garaging, it’s a smart step up for those who value both comfort and character.

One lounge centres around the gas fireplace, perfect for cooler evenings, while the other is filled with natural light and is ideal for quiet weekends or gatherings with friends. The kitchen is designed for easy living with generous storage, plenty of bench space and a breakfast bar that naturally becomes the spot for coffee, homework or a glass of wine. With the dining room alongside, shared meals flow seamlessly into the rhythm of the home.

Each of the three bedrooms has its own personality: one framed by a bay window complete with double glazing that welcomes the morning light, another with playful floral charm, and a third that offers calm simplicity, making it well suited as a study or guest retreat. The main bathroom is classic with a full-sized bath and overhead shower, while a second smaller bathroom adds everyday convenience.

There is a private courtyard space for BBQs and plenty of room children’s play or a gardening project, without demanding all your time. Out front, stunning flower gardens set a welcoming tone as does the wrap around veranda.

Space for parking and projects is well and truly taken care of with a large double garage, single garage, separate workshop and carport. There is also additional off-street parking for the caravan, motorhome or boat.

Set along one of Whanganui’s most loved stretches, the river is practically part of your daily backdrop, with greenery and open space right at hand. Schools, shops and all the essentials are just minutes away, making this both a practical and enviable address.
