6 Koromiko Glen Waikanae, Kapiti Coast District

There are addresses in Waikanae that feel distinctly set apart. Koromiko Glen is one of them.

Set away from the main road, this discreet enclave has a sense of privacy from the moment you arrive. Established homes, leafy surroundings and neighbours who know one another - yet Waikanae village is close enough to become part of everyday life.

At number six, the same owners have enjoyed this position for 20 years. Now, for the first time, it's being offered to the market.

And it's easy to imagine why they've stayed.

Saturday morning, cycle down to the markets. Meet friends for dinner or a drink in the village and walk home afterwards. Pack the motorhome, lock the door and head away knowing you're leaving behind a home in a street where familiar faces look out for one another.

Then there are the days when staying home is exactly where you want to be.

Generous living spaces give everyone room to find their place, with the kitchen and dining at the heart of the home and a separate lounge for quieter evenings or entertaining. Open the doors and life moves outside to a sheltered courtyard, surrounded by established gardens and greenery that enhance the sense of privacy.

The ground floor is also home to the primary bedroom and a separate office, which the current owners suggest could also be used as an additional bedroom. Upstairs, two generous double bedrooms provide further space, with the outlook opening towards the Waikanae hills - another reminder of exactly where you are.

Set on 700m², there's space around the home and plenty of room for the things that come with a life well lived. Internal-access garaging is complemented by generous off-street parking, including room for the motorhome or RV.

But number six is about more than what fits within its boundaries.

It's knowing your neighbours. Being able to leave the car at home. Having the village, markets and everything you enjoy about Waikanae close by, while returning to an address that feels distinctly removed from the everyday.

A private address. An established home. And a way of living that, after 20 years, its owners have clearly found very difficult to leave.

For the first time in two decades, 6 Koromiko Glen is available to call your own.
