For those who value an active coastal lifestyle, 67 Renown Road offers something a little different. Beach walks, morning swims, fresh air, daily movement and 80 steps home all become part of the rhythm. Rather than a compromise, the steps are part of the reward, a natural daily workout leading to privacy, sunshine and one of Raumati South's most memorable outlooks.
The story of the home begins in the early 1940s, when two former army huts were purchased from the War Assets Realisation Board and moved to what was then one of the highest points in Raumati South. Originally positioned as a workshop and tool shed, they remain part of the home today, although few would ever know.
Over the years, the buildings were joined together, extended in 1960, taken to a second storey in the 1970s, and thoughtfully refurbished in recent years. The result is a character-filled coastal retreat that wears its history lightly while offering comfort, practicality and a strong connection to its setting.
Elevated above its surroundings, the home enjoys sweeping west-facing views across Kāpiti Island and the ocean, with the escarpment rising to the east. Mornings begin on the eastern deck with birdsong and soft light, while evenings open out to the western deck, where sunsets over Kāpiti Island become part of daily life.
The home has been well improved, with updates including roofing, partial recladding with insulation, rewiring, replumbing, interior and exterior paintwork, partial double glazing and a modern kitchen with tiled splashbacks and a generous butler's pantry.
The upper level is dedicated to the master retreat, while the main level offers flexible living, a home office or single bedroom, a generous double bedroom, renovated bathroom, separate toilet and laundry.
With multiple outdoor areas, a carport, two sheds and the beach only a short stroll away, this is a home shaped by history, movement, light and perspective.
3 bedrooms (two large, one single) | Home office | 1 bathroom plus separate toilet | Two storeys | Multiple outdoor living areas | Carport | Two storage sheds
