About this property
Maybe best described as a Taste of Remuera on the Kaipara!This is not a house for people who like ordinary.
This century-plus-old villa is for homeowners who feel slightly allergic to cookie-cutter builds and crave homes with stories, bones, and soul. Built in the mid-late 1800s, it's a place where craftsmanship still shows up under your feet and above your head - original kauri floors, exposed beams, and proportions that remind you houses weren't always designed by spreadsheet.
Downstairs, a generously sized master bedroom offers proper grown-up living, while upstairs two charming loft-style bedrooms make perfect children's rooms, creative spaces, or study nooks. The front verandah is exactly what you want it to be - a pause point, a coffee spot, a place to watch the day go by.
Modern life hasn't been ignored. The kitchen and bathroom have been thoughtfully updated, there's a freestanding fireplace for winter evenings, and a heat pump to keep things sensible year-round. Two showers mean no morning traffic jams.
At approximately 160sqm, the layout is practical and warm rather than sprawling for the sake of it: a large lounge and dining space, modern kitchen, sun-catching conservatory, French doors opening to a covered outdoor entertaining area, and living spaces that feel lived-in - in the best possible way.
Set on a flat, fully fenced 1,001sqm section, there's room to breathe outside too. A freestanding four-car garage gives flexibility for storage, projects, or toys, and the backyard offers genuine potential for a sleepout or granny-flat if that's where life is heading next.
LOCATION & LIFESTYLE
• Under 2km to three local primary schools, intermediate and high school
• Easy walk (or very short drive) to Dargaville shops and supermarket
• Around 15 minutes to Baylys Beach or Glinks Gully - for swims, sunsets, and west-coast fishing
• Less than 30 minutes to Kai Iwi Lakes
• About 50 minutes to Whangārei
• Approximately two hours to Albany, Auckland
This is a home for people who value history without wanting to live in a museum - where character and modern comfort quietly coexist, and where life feels a little less rushed the moment you walk through the door.
