Light‑Filled Kingston Retreat on a Prime Corner Site
Positioned on an expansive corner section at Cambridge Street and Kent Street, this well maintained holiday home enjoys sweeping views over the southern end of Lake Wakatipu.
Along the north side of the home, a full wall of windows frames a stunning outlook across the water and surrounding mountains, filling the interior with natural light throughout the day The large deck provides an ideal spot for your morning coffee or evening wine, overlooking the fully established and beautifully landscaped grounds.
Inside, the home has been thoughtfully updated during the current owners’ tenure, bringing modern comfort to its classic holiday home charm. Fresh flooring runs throughout, a heat pump provides convenient heating when needed, and the kitchen features upgraded benchtops that lift both style and functionality. The layout is simple and practical, with an open plan living area, two well sized bedrooms, and a bathroom positioned at the rear - ideal for relaxed holiday living.
The property is well set up with practical services already in place, including a rainwater collection tank and a septic dispersal system for added convenience An oversized garage sits toward the back of the section, offering secure storage for the boat, bikes, or other toys over winter while keeping the rest of the property tidy and easy to manage
With a rare larger than usual section for Cambridge Street - formed by two sections combined - the property offers the kind of space that’s hard to find in this part of Kingston. Its elevated position takes in lake views while remaining safely outside the flood zone, offering the best of the location without compromise. The generous dual section footprint may also appeal to buyers considering future development potential, subject to the usual council requirements.

A new village centre is also planned, bringing added convenience for residents with small retail, hospitality, and community focused spaces designed to complement Kingston’s existing charm These additions will give the township a more complete local hub and enhance everyday living, all while keeping the natural beauty and relaxed pace that make Kingston so special
