Combining the elegance of a bygone era with the comforts of modern living, this beautifully maintained 1920s villa offers a rare opportunity to secure a character home on a substantial 2031-square-metre section in the heart of Ōpōtiki.

Set on one of the town’s main streets, the property immediately captures attention with its classic weatherboard exterior and enduring street appeal.

Inside, the home is rich in original features that celebrate its heritage, including native timber floors, soaring stud heights, stained-glass windows and traditional wooden joinery.

Spanning approximately 140 square metres, the villa has been thoughtfully updated to suit contemporary lifestyles while retaining its warmth and charm.

The kitchen is both practical and inviting, featuring gas cooking, excellent storage and easy flow to the dining and living spaces. A fireplace and heat pump provide year-round comfort, creating a welcoming environment for family life.

French doors open from the living area to a generous deck overlooking the private backyard, extending the living space outdoors.

The fully fenced grounds offer a safe haven for children and pets, while providing plenty of room for entertaining, gardening or simply enjoying the peaceful surroundings.

Accommodation includes three spacious bedrooms, a separate study and a well-appointed family bathroom.

The convenience of two toilets and a flexible floor plan adds further appeal, offering options for growing families or those needing work-from-home space.

Outside, the property’s versatility continues with a garage/workshop, carport, ample off-street parking, separate laundry shed and a sleepout or rumpus room.

Whether used for hobbies, guests, teenagers or a home office, these additional spaces provide valuable flexibility.

Beyond its lifestyle appeal, the large landholding presents exciting future possibilities for investors or buyers seeking long-term potential.

The location is equally attractive, with New World, local shops and scenic river walks all within easy reach.

Character homes of this calibre, particularly on sections of this size, are becoming
increasingly difficult to find.

Beautifully presented and full of heart, this is a property that offers both immediate enjoyment and future opportunity.
