24 Kowhai Park Road Maunu, Whangarei District

24 Kowhai Park Road is for sale by Auction, (unless sold prior).

Nestled in one of Whangarei's most peaceful and leafy neighbourhoods, this much-loved family home offers the perfect blend of tranquility, character, and modern comfort - just minutes from the city.

Originally built in 1961 for the City Engineer, this North facing home sits proudly on a generous section surrounded by established trees, native bird life, and even the occasional sighting of native bats - an enchanting natural setting that truly sets this property apart.

Lovingly cared for by just three families in its lifetime, the home has proven to be solid and reliable throughout the years, with thoughtful updates including a beautifully appointed master suite added just five years ago. An earlier extension in the 1980s expanded the kitchen and dining areas, introduced a sun-filled piano nook, and added a carport - enhancing the flow and spaciousness of the main living zones.

Inside, you'll find:

• Four generously sized bedrooms
• Two well-appointed bathrooms
• Seamless indoor-outdoor living with views into mature greenery
• Original timber floors crafted from native Taraire trees sourced from the site itself

Perfectly oriented to enjoy all-day sun, the home offers effortless family living and entertaining. Whether you're starting the day with birdsong or hosting friends with the treetops as your backdrop, there's a calm and grounded energy that makes you feel instantly at home.

The neighbourhood is just as special. Friendly neighbours, handy local dairies and a trusted pharmacy - all within walking distance. Barge Park, with its green spaces and walking trails, has been a much-loved weekend escape for the current owners. Walking distance to Maunu Primary school and Pompallier College, and a short drive to Whangarei Hospital - what more could you ask for.

With their children now heading into new schooling phases, the family is relocating closer to work, school, and the beach - opening this rare opportunity for a new family to call this home their own.

If you're looking for a spacious, sun-soaked property with heart, history, and harmony with nature, this is it. Contact Rae Ocean and Sandie Kirkman today to arrange a viewing or join us at our next open home.
