Priced Deadline: $1,849,000 Tuesday 5th May 2026 @ 4PM (USP), Harcourts Holmwood Merivale, 175 Papanui Road.

The original beauty of a weatherboard build is carried forward by a contemporary renovation and the pull of a Paparoa Street address in a four-bedroom home that offers a superior setting for family living.
Beyond the tree-lined charm of its surroundings, the home retains every ounce of its century-old character, before the depth of its modern upgrades begins to unfold indoors.

Crisp white interiors, quality linen curtains and neutral carpet bring a lighter hand to the original design, allowing ceiling roses, leadlights and wall paneling to hold their place, while mostly double glazed, radiator heating downstairs, two heat pumps, added insulation, gas hot water and a full rewire bring day-to-day living up to speed.

Hallmark proportions of the 1920s are felt first in the accommodation, where the ground-floor master with its walk-in wardrobe, en-suite and bi-fold access to the deck brings scale, separation and future-proofed ease to the floor plan. The top floor extends the options with three further bedrooms and a family bathroom with a separate bath and shower, completing a lineup built for the full stretch of family life.

The scale of its time carries through to the open-plan living zone, where the kitchen, dining area and lounge come together as the home's central gathering space, before a substantial formal lounge off the entrance gives the layout another layer of living.

Taj Mahal quartzite benchtops, integrated appliances and a freestanding oven give the kitchen its contemporary edge, while a seamless connection to the kwila deck beneath rain-sensor louvres sets the scene for season-round entertaining, from long lunches in the sun through to late evenings under lights.
Landscaped and leafy surroundings complement a stretch of lawn to expand the outdoor setting, with a privately tucked spa to the side creating a more secluded place to soak at the day's end. The practical layer lands with precision, bringing together a separate laundry and guest toilet, double garaging, camera-secured gated entry, and off-street parking capacity that makes room for both a boat and a caravan.

Long favoured by families, this address places in-zone Paparoa Street School and Heaton Intermediate within easy walking distance, keeps StAC, Rutland Reserve and the local shops close at hand, and leaves Merivale only minutes away, reinforcing its reputation as a street of choice where families come to settle and stay.
