There are homes you simply live in - and then there are homes that have quietly witnessed history unfold.

Set high above the Town Basin on one of Whangārei’s most tightly held cul-de-sacs, this remarkable Grey Street villa dates back to the mid-1800s, built during the earliest days of settlement. Over generations it has been held by families whose names are woven into the fabric of the city itself - Carruth, Bedlington, Dent - names now etched into Whangārei’s streets and story.

Today, the home remains a rare and beautiful reminder of that era. Framed by established gardens and elevated for outlook and privacy, it enjoys a peaceful position with a gentle sense of separation from the bustle below - yet remains just moments from the Town Basin, cafés, walks and amenities.

Inside, the home is warm, honest and inviting. Two bedrooms are complemented by a generous lounge, while a separate sunroom provides a second living space - a perfect spot to do little. French doors and verandahs connect the home to its garden setting, creating an easy rhythm between indoors and out. A single garage sits separately from the home, and the section itself is both manageable and private.

The city-close position may also open further potential. With professional offices already operating from nearby residential homes, this location may suit buyers seeking a character residence with the flexibility to explore work-from-home or office-style use, subject to the usual consents.

Presented in tidy condition but in need of some urgent repairs to the porch - opportunities like this are seldom repeated. Homes of this age, provenance and position are rarely released to the market, particularly in such a cherished pocket of central Whangārei.

A chapter of the city’s history - ready for its next custodian.
