Once-in-a-Lifetime Opportunity: There are homes… and then there are pieces of history.
223 Maraetai Drive is a true Kiwi bach bungalow - the story goes this charming home was barged to its site in 1953. For generations, this home has been the dream bach for one family, the heart of countless summer holidays, celebrations, and moments spent together. It is the epitome of the Kiwi coastal lifestyle - fishing, kayaking, beach walks, and days filled with laughter, sun, and sand.
Set across two levels, the home perfectly balances charm, functionality, and versatility.
On the ground floor, a generous rumpus room offers a retreat for guests or extended family, complete with its own shower and toilet - perfect for washing off after a day on the beach. A separate garage provides space for the boat, bikes, and all the essentials of seaside living.
Upstairs, the living room opens to a sunny deck and features a functioning wood fire, creating a warm, welcoming space for relaxing or entertaining. The kitchen and dining area form the heart of the home, while three bedrooms and a family bathroom offer comfortable accommodation. A separate laundry with its own shower and toilet adds everyday practicality.
Throughout, the home retains its original character and charm - a nostalgic nod to a bygone era that cannot be replicated.
Positioned on iconic Maraetai Drive, just steps from the sand, this is a world-class location. It is more than a home; it is a lifestyle, a story, and a rare opportunity to own a piece of history.
Homes like this are not simply bought - they are treasured, passed on, and remembered.
