PROPERTY VIDEO

You can hear, smell and see the sea!

Perfectly positioned between the bay and the beach, 9 Seaforth Street enjoys one of Karitane’s most special locations — close enough to hear, smell, and even see the sea, yet wonderfully tucked away and private. Loved as a family holiday home for many years, this 1920’s character-filled property has an immediate warmth and charm that’s felt from the moment you arrive.

Interior
Step through the entrance and you’re welcomed into a home that simply feels right. Light, natural, and neutral tones flow throughout, enhancing the sense of calm and comfort. The spacious, light-filled bathroom is beautifully positioned, while the combined kitchen and dining area is both practical and inviting — easy to work in and easy to gather around. A charming original stove, no longer functioning, remains as a nostalgic feature of yesteryear and a lovely nod to the home’s history.
The lounge is generous in size and thoughtfully appointed, with both a fitted log burner for winter warmth and a gas heater for instant heat, creating a space that’s comfortable year-round.

Exterior
Indoor-outdoor flow is a standout feature here. Doors from both the living area and the master bedroom open onto a wrap-around deck with a verandah — a space that invites you outside in all seasons. Whether it’s sunshine or a soft coastal drizzle, you can still sit back and enjoy the sounds of the sea and the relaxed rhythm of coastal living.
Set on a level, easy-care, fully secured section, the outdoor areas are beautifully private, with mature, well-manicured gardens that enhance both shelter and tranquillity.

Features
All three bedrooms are genuine doubles, with two being particularly spacious and featuring fitted wardrobes. A separate laundry and workshop sit just steps from the back door, offering excellent functionality without encroaching on the main living spaces. Off-street parking adds further convenience, rounding out a home that balances charm with everyday practicality.

Location
Karitane is a village that truly offers lifestyle. With the general store, pizzeria, and local pub all close by, plus a strong community feel and easy access to Waikouaiti just up the road, this is a place where people come to slow down — and often stay.
With its rare position between bay and beach, beautiful character, and a sense of calm that’s hard to replicate, 9 Seaforth Street is something genuinely special. A home that has been deeply loved, perfectly positioned, and ready to welcome its next chapter in one of Karitane’s most sought-after pockets.
