6B Robert Mckeen, Otaki Beach, Kapiti Coast, Wellington

Set back from the road on a quiet rear section, this compact two-bedroom home offers privacy, great sun, and a simple layout that will appeal to first-home buyers or investors looking for a practical property with room to improve.

At around 69 sqm, the home makes good use of its footprint. The sunroom at the entrance provides a warm welcome and captures plenty of light, making it a great spot to relax, read, or enjoy a cuppa. It extends naturally into the living area, where a woodburner provides reliable heating through the cooler months. The home’s orientation makes the most of the sun throughout the day, keeping the living spaces bright and inviting.

The kitchen has been updated in the past and offers the basics you need, with scope for a refresh down the track. Its simple, functional layout connects easily to the living area, allowing you to chat, cook, and stay connected.

Both bedrooms include built-in wardrobes, with the master enjoying lovely afternoon sun. The bathroom includes the laundry for convenience and has external access, ideal for busy households or garden use. A separate toilet adds practicality to the home’s compact design.

Outside, the property enjoys good sun and a pleasant sense of space. The partially covered deck provides a sheltered spot to sit and enjoy the surroundings, while the section is easy-care and largely a blank canvas for those who’d like to add gardens or landscaping. Established citrus trees provide a touch of colour and fresh fruit.

A single garage offers secure parking or storage, and a large additional storage shed is handy for tools, bikes, or firewood. Access is via a shared driveway, and once you’re in, the home feels private and peaceful, tucked away from the road.

With under-floor insulation and solid construction, the essentials for comfort are in place. The home would respond well to further cosmetic updates, giving new owners the opportunity to make it their own or add value over time.

Located in an established part of Ōtaki, the property is close to local shops, cafés, and schools, with easy access to the expressway for commuters. Best of all, it’s just a short walk to the beach, adding another layer of appeal to this affordable and well-positioned home.

While modest in size and presentation, this property represents a solid start or a practical investment. With good sun, a private setting, and the essentials covered, 6B Robert McKeen Street is ready for its next chapter and for someone new to see its potential.
