Description

It’s not just a house — it’s a home.
Lovingly cherished by the same family for over 65 years, this property is rich with memories, stories, and soul. From the moment you step through the door, you're welcomed with open arms — that unmistakable feeling of "home." You’ll know straight away this place is something truly special.
Situated in the heart of Manaia, this home is one that’s always caught the eye. In fact, it’s almost as iconic as Yarrows the bakery — a local landmark in its own right.
With a generous 242sqm floor plan, there’s plenty of space for families, entertaining, and creating new memories. At the heart of the home is the kitchen — perfectly positioned with seamless flow into the formal dining room and multiple living areas. Sunny nooks and charming window seats invite you to soak up the day’s warmth while taking in views of the world outside.
There are three bedrooms in total, with the master suite located in its own private wing. As you enter, you’re greeted with ample storage, a walk-in robe, and the pink-themed ‘girls bathroom’ — a nostalgic and personal ensuite space. Another separate wing hosts the main bathroom, styled with a chic and cohesive design that complements the rest of the home. In total, the home boasts three well-appointed bathrooms.
A covered courtyard connects you to the double garage, featuring extra-high doors to accommodate a caravan. This versatile space is ideal for year-round entertaining and flows easily into the spa area and outdoor rumpus room. Off the garage, you'll also find two additional rumpus rooms — perfect as a teenage retreat, hobby space, or work-from-home setup.
The section itself offers a lush, private outdoor haven — plenty of room for the kids to run around and for gardening enthusiasts to enjoy pottering amongst the greenery.
Now it's your chance to create your own family memories here and own an iconic slice of Manaia
