19 Riwai Street, Paraparaumu, Kapiti Coast, Wellington

If you've been looking for room to really live, this is the place to do it in.

You get a solid 210 square metres across four bedrooms with a full family layout. Large living and dining flowing through the heart of the home, separate laundry and toilet, with the bedrooms and bathroom tucked down a quiet hallway. It's built for families who actually live in the space, not show-homes. The bones are there for you to come in and add your touch, colour and style, or enjoy the home like the current family as is.

You've got a proper section of 995m2. Room to move. Room to grow. There's space front and back, the kind of layout where families genuinely live outdoors, and if you're thinking ahead to a sleepout or granny flat down the line, there's the land to do it.

Downstairs is a separate basement with its own entrance. A raw space, totally customisable. Right now there's workout gear and music equipment set up, and you can see why: it's the kind of space that just invites a vision. Workshop, studio, storage, home office, gym, music room, whatever you want it to be.

And the location does the heavy lifting. 1km to Paraparaumu School. 1.2km to the train station. The kind of proximity that actually matters when you've got family commitments and want your life to work, not just look good on paper.

This is for a family who can see what they want and isn't paying for someone else's renovation choices. This is for a family to come in and make this place their own.
