Views and Income in Central Paihia

Perhaps the coolest house in Paihia is raising its hand for a new owner. This mid-century modern A-frame is both striking to look at and hugely fun to live in.
This five-bedroom, three-bathroom home is an iconic beacon in a friendly community. Renowned for a party (or two) across the decades, today its vintage roots have been lavishly freshened up with a $450k renovation.
Capturing exciting views over Paihia and Russell, the home is just metres from the shoreline, shops, restaurants, and boat ramps. Our vendors will miss the convenience of strolling to the beach for paddle boarding and an overall vibe of floating above the water.
While situated right in town it is surprisingly private. Being adjacent to a forest reserve means the birdlife is amazing. Entry to the property is on the flat, with a single garage and workshop, onsite parking and ample storage for all the toys - perfect for hobby enthusiasts or working from home.
Even the one-bedroom flat on the ground level commands great views and its own private entry
Perfect for relaxed living, the first level caters for entertaining, with a stately entrance, modern kitchen, dining, living and bathroom. The side balcony is a tranquil spot for watching the marine activity, and the paved patio is popular for drinkies. The level above has a big open landing with two double bedrooms.
Continuing up the staircase is the pinnacle of the building where creative energy would flow for an artist, or simply keep as two double bedrooms and fight over majestic sea views or forest canopy.
The landscaping is a talking point, with stunning natives and productive edibles across the site.
While bittersweet to relinquish our vendors know this exceptional property will thrill all ages and stages.
