Set against the ever-changing hues of the Tasman Sea and framed by Kapiti Island, 16 Manly Street is a coastal home that combines refined renovation with relaxed, liveable charm. Thoughtfully redesigned and extensively updated, the residence occupies a 1001m² (more or less) site in one of the Kapiti Coast’s most desirable enclaves.
The multilevel home’s layout is both functional and generous. Four well-appointed bedrooms are complemented by a flexible fifth room - ideal as a study or guest suite. Two newly renovated bathrooms balance clean lines with warm textures. Living is expansive, with two distinct living areas. The kitchen, entirely reimagined, serves as a central gathering space, marrying form and function.
What sets the property apart is its relationship to the outdoors. Two commanding balconies, positioned to capture the sun and sea, provide distinct zones for quiet reflection or casual conversation. The wide timber entertainment deck at the rear with its commanding view of the saltwater pool and generous outdoor grounds provides a private sanctuary for family and friends.
While the home offers the feeling of a retreat, its location remains close to key amenities. Positioned in Paraparaumu’s ‘Golden Triangle’, the expressway, schools, golf course, cafés, and shops are within easy reach. The beach is only moments away with views of Kapiti and the other Islands that complete the local seascape.
With its careful attention to detail and balance of modern updates and natural surroundings, this property offers an inviting alternative to conventional coastal living: contemporary yet timeless, relaxed yet refined.
