Otaki Beach, Kapiti Coast, Wellington

High ceilings, generous windows and established gardens give 99 Atkinson Avenue the character that draws people to older homes. Built in the 1920s, this four-bedroom home combines traditional proportions with an adaptable layout, a private patio and an upstairs room with views towards Kāpiti Island.

The main living and dining area provides room to gather, with a freestanding wood burner for cooler evenings and a separate kitchen alongside. Four double bedrooms allow flexibility for family, guests or a study, while the bathroom continues the home's individual character.

A second living room, once used as a gallery, gives you another generous space to enjoy. Bifold doors open to a private, sunny paved patio, connecting the room with the garden for lunches outside or relaxed afternoons with friends. Its own external entrance, reached by a side pathway, also means visitors can arrive without passing through the main living areas. It could work well as a separate lounge, a workspace or somewhere to spread out with hobbies.

Upstairs, the large, sunny loft has exposed roof timbers and views towards Kāpiti Island. There’s room to set it up as a studio, a rumpus room or a quiet spot to work on projects away from the main living areas.

Established planting, lawn and garden paths surround the home, with pears, nashi pears, plums and apples adding a productive side to the grounds. There is plenty here for someone who enjoys gardening, from growing produce to shaping their own outdoor spaces. Off-street parking for two vehicles adds practicality, with beach walks, the river mouth and cycleways to enjoy in the wider Ōtaki Beach area.

For buyers who appreciate the individuality of an older home, there is plenty to connect with here, along with scope to bring your own ideas to its next chapter.

Viewing is by appointment.
