A beautifully restored 1910s villa where almost everything has been rebuilt or renewed – offering character, but with the feel of a near-new home.

Some villas still come with a long renovation to-do list.
105 Normanby Street isn’t one of them.

Set on an elevated 885sqm site in central Dargaville, this century-old character home has undergone a substantial top-to-bottom transformation, including brand-new foundations, complete rewiring, and entirely new plumbing, stunning new bathroom, and modern new kitchen – the top five most expensive upgrades in any villa renovation!

The result is a home where the heritage character remains, but the infrastructure underneath it has already been modernised.

Inside, the home feels fresh, elegant and completely move-in ready. The modern renovation has been carried out in a timeless neutral grey-white-black palette, allowing the villa’s high ceilings and original proportions to shine.

Features include:
• Three beautiful bedrooms with classic villa height ceilings
• A stunning modern bathroom
• Brand-new contemporary kitchen
• Generous open-plan lounge, kitchen, dining and family living space
• Easy indoor-outdoor flow to a fabulous covered porch – perfect for entertaining

It’s a home that balances character charm with modern comfort, creating a space that feels both welcoming and effortlessly liveable.

Adding even more flexibility is the brand-new detached cottage, providing valuable extra space that could suit a:
• Home office
• Creative studio
• Teen retreat
• Guest accommodation

In today’s world, having that separate additional space is incredibly useful.

The location is equally appealing. Positioned right in central Dargaville, yet elevated to capture light and outlook.

Approximate distances:
• Under 1km to Intermediate, High School and two Primary Schools
• Around 1 minute drive to supermarket and town centre
• Easy access to the wider Kaipara and west coast beaches

Villas that have had foundations replaced, services upgraded, and interiors fully modernised are relatively rare – which makes this property a compelling option for buyers wanting classic character without taking on a major renovation project themselves.
