Finding a family home that genuinely ticks every box isn't always easy — but 184 Bay Road hits the mark. This well-presented two-storey home in Grasmere delivers the space, warmth, and practicality that growing families need, all within the sought-after James Hargest College zone. Sitting on a generous 508m² (more or less) section with approximately 150m² of floor area, there's plenty of room to live, breathe, and settle in for the long term.
The layout has been thoughtfully designed to suit busy family life. Head upstairs and you'll find two large double bedrooms, both with walk-in wardrobes — a feature that's harder to find than you'd think at this price point and one that makes day-to-day living so much easier. At the top of the stairs there's also a versatile bonus room that works brilliantly as a home office, a teenager's den, or a dedicated gaming space. Whether you're working from home or just need somewhere to keep the kids entertained, this room earns its keep.
Downstairs, the third bedroom is still a generous double with a built-in wardrobe, making it a comfortable and private space for guests, younger children, or anyone who prefers to be on the ground level. The main living areas flow naturally, with the lounge providing a warm and inviting heart to the home.
Speaking of warmth — this home takes Southland winters seriously. The lounge is fitted with both a woodburner and a heat pump, giving you options for how you heat the space, and the underfloor heating adds an extra layer of comfort that you'll genuinely appreciate on those cold mornings. It's the kind of setup that makes a real difference to everyday living.
Storage is another standout feature throughout. The home is packed with cupboards, meaning there's a place for everything — and families always need more storage than they think. The kitchen continues this theme with generous cabinetry and a handy appliance garage that keeps the benchtops clear and the kitchen looking tidy.

Step outside and the north-facing deck off the lounge is exactly where you'll want to spend a sunny Southland afternoon.

The established surroundings give the property a settled, private feel that's hard to put a price on.
The single garage is a generous size and the additional off-street parking means there's plenty of room for the family cars, a trailer, or whatever else comes with the territory of family life.
Zoned for James Hargest College, positioned in a convenient Grasmere location, and packed with the practical features that families genuinely need — this home is ready to work hard for its next owners. Come and have a look; it might just be exactly what you've been searching for.
