52 Pitt Street, Raetihi, Ruapehu, Wanganui

Looking for a place with personality and space to breathe? This 1920s villa has charm, and plenty of room to stretch out — inside and out.

Set on a classic quarter-acre section, you’ve got four big bedrooms (two of which are currently being used as storage), or alternatively three bedrooms and a gorgeous sunroom, a cosy living area with a dedicated dining room with a view, and two rustic bathrooms with timber finishes. There’s timber flooring and relatively new lush carpet underfoot, high ceilings overhead, and just enough vintage character to make things interesting.

There is a deck at the front, to capture afternoon sun, and a porch connecting the back door and the garage, which is a sweet sheltered wee spot. Electrics, plumbing and insulation have been updated by the previous owner and the wood burner and heat transfer system keep the house warm in the colder months.

It’s cosy, comfortable, and full of good vibes. Just a short stroll to town, close to local walks, and not far from Ohakune and the slopes when winter rolls in.

Easy-going, honest, and full of heart — this one’s worth a look.
