Spectacular harbour views meet a half-century of treasured memories. For the first time in 54 years, this cherished Maungaraki home is on the market. Perfectly positioned at 224 Dowse Drive, it's a rare find offering comfort, convenience and a tight-knit community feel.

Step inside and you'll immediately feel the warmth and character of this beautifully maintained home. Featuring four well-proportioned bedrooms, there's space for the whole family, guests, or even a home office. The partial double glazing, gas heating and heat pump ensure year-round comfort, while the generous living areas with vaulted ceilings and expansive windows create an inviting, light-filled environment to relax and entertain.

The kitchen and adjoining dining space flow seamlessly into the spacious lounge, where you'll be drawn to the large deck — ideal for summer BBQs or simply soaking in those panoramic views.

Downstairs, a double garage with internal access adds everyday convenience, with plenty of storage for the tools, toys and more. Outside, the section is tidy and manageable, with a greenhouse and garden beds ready for keen growers to make their mark.

Families will love the location — walking distance to Maungaraki Primary School, kindergarten and play centre, and zoned for Hutt Valley High School. Commuters are well catered for too, with a bus stop nearby and easy access to the motorway for a smooth run into the city or Lower Hutt CBD.

Tucked into a friendly, tight-knit community, you're also just a short stroll from the local shops, pharmacy and a cosy café - all the essentials right on your doorstep.
