They don’t build them like this anymore. High ceilings, native timber, original sash windows—this early 1900s cottage has history in every nail and board. Relocated and re-situated in a quiet enclave of Paraparaumu East, 70A Valley Road is a rare blend of heritage architecture and modern opportunity. Three double bedrooms, an open-plan living space, and a partly renovated bathroom create a comfortable base—ready for your vision to take it further. Outside, the sunny contoured section is private and fully fenced, while a separate studio with bathroom (unconsented) adds even more scope. There’s a double garage, carport, and outdoor zones that catch both the morning and afternoon sun. Whether you’re a renovator, a young family, or someone chasing creative flexibility—this home has a story worth continuing. The location is a short hop to Kaitawa Reserve and walking tracks that lead deep into the hill trails. A few minutes' drive brings you to Coastlands, the train station, and the local primary—placing lifestyle and convenience right at your doorstep. Opportunities like this are rare. The character is real—and the potential is yours to unlock. SOURCE: Floor/Land Area & RV: PropertyGuru. RATES: KCDC.
