This much-loved Diamond Harbour property is ready for its next chapter. Full of character and sitting on a sunny 883sqm corner site, this is the kind of classic bach where summers stretch outdoors and on the water.

The 1930s home offers three double bedrooms, one bathroom, a separate laundry, and two living areas. The main lounge is warm and welcoming, with a pellet fire, Luxaflex blinds, and a beautiful north-facing timber window with built-in seating. A small second living space connects the kitchen and dining area to the sunny deck. The kitchen and bathroom remain largely original, while timber T&G flooring adds character to the kitchen space. Much of the interior and exterior has been professionally repainted, and all EQC work has been completed, including floor re-levelling. The roof is due for replacement, offering clear scope to add further value over time.

Outside, the established garden has lawns, pathways, and sheltered spots to enjoy throughout the seasons. The outlook across the tennis courts to the Port Hills adds to the relaxed setting, while dual access includes a high-stud carport (in need of fixing up) and a separate powered single garage.

Positioned in the heart of Diamond Harbour, the lifestyle here is what makes this property so appealing. The tennis courts, park, and new playground are directly across the road, while local beaches and the Purau boat ramp are all within a short five-minute drive. Orton Bradley Park, Charteris Bay Golf Club, mountain biking, and walking trails are all close by, making this an ideal base for weekends away, family holidays, or permanent harbour living. The ferry, cafes, library, medical centre, and community hall are also within easy reach.

Tidy, genuine, and packed with potential, 53 Waipapa Avenue is ready to be enjoyed now while offering plenty of opportunity for the future.
