11 Matai Street, Waikanae, Kapiti Coast, Wellington, 5036, New Zealand

Nestled in a quiet neighbourhood in the heart of Waikanae’s sought-after garden area is this lovely brick and tile home, built in the 1970s on an open, broad 809 sqm plot*.

As you’d expect from a home that’s been a successful investment property for almost a decade, this home has been superbly maintained. The 130 sqm floor space is flooded with natural light from the large windows and ranch slider in the ample living space. There is a separate dining room, and the kitchen is spacious with plenty of storage space and a lovely view of the rear garden. The home comprises three spacious bedrooms, all with built-in furniture, a family bathroom, a separate shower room, and a second toilet. It’s been freshly painted inside and out to enhance its already bright and welcoming atmosphere, which comes from all the natural light.

At the end of a long driveway with space for cars, trucks, trailers, and boats, there’s a detached extra-large garage and workspace. The low-maintenance garden is perfect for kids or pets to play, or as an easy area to soak up the sun and serene views.

This part of the Kapiti Coast combines convenience with quiet – everything you need is nearby with schools, parks, and the swimming pool just five minutes away, while a scenic 10-minute walk gets you to shops, the cinema, coffee shops, and the train station. There’s easy access to the river, the expressway, the beach, and a 5-10 min walk to Saturday’s market.

So whether you’re just starting out, setting yourselves up, sizing down, or moving up from out of town, there’s plenty of scope and space to let your dreams come true and imagination run wild whether this is a home for you, or an investment to rent out to others.
