There is something immediately familiar about life in Raumati Beach — the coast close by, schools and parks woven into the neighbourhood, and an ease that has long made this part of the Kāpiti Coast such an appealing place to call home.
On Alexander Road, this 1950s weatherboard home feels entirely at home in that setting.
Slightly elevated from the street and framed by established planting, it carries the character of its era through weatherboards, timber window joinery and original timber floors.
Inside, the kitchen and dining have been opened up and modernised to create an easy hub for everyday family life. Granite benchtops, gas cooking and breakfast-bar seating bring practicality, while the wood burner adds atmosphere through the cooler months.
The adjoining lounge draws in natural light and connects through wide timber-framed glazed sliders, keeping the living areas closely connected while giving the lounge its own identity. A large heat pump provides another practical option for heating and cooling this part of the home.
Three good-sized bedrooms sit along the hallway, accompanied by the family bathroom.
Meaningful improvements have also been made, including a roof replaced in recent years and a new wood burner.
At the rear, the way this home has evolved really comes into its own. Doors from the kitchen and dining open directly onto a covered west-facing deck, creating an effortless connection between everyday living and outdoor entertaining. Here, the afternoon sun becomes part of the experience, with the patio, spa and gently rising lawn beyond creating room for children, pets, gardening, barbecues and long evenings at home.
And the location remains one of the home's strongest assets. Raumati Beach School, Kapiti College, Weka Park, playgrounds, Marine Gardens, cycling trails, the library, rail connections and the beach are all close by.
An established family home, thoughtfully carried forward and ready to be experienced.
