Architectural Magnificence - Bay View

Welcome to 4 Dorothy Place: Nestled at the end of a peaceful cul-de-sac and only a short stroll from the beach, this architecturally significant home offers versatile living options with expansive panoramic views across the Bay to Napier Hill and beyond.

Designed by one of New Zealand's leading and multi award winning architects Paris Magdalenas. This stunning home is a wonderful example of his signature creactive design. A hidden treasure, cherished by its current owners for over 30 years. Now it's time to pass on this extaordinary home to its future owners.

As you step inside it will immediately become apparent how truly special this home is. The interior unfolds across a series of split levels, each responding naturally to the outlook and purpose. Living spaces feel generous yet intimate, defined by high-stud ceilings, timber features and carefully positioned picture windows that frame the view. A built-in window seat offers a quiet place to pause, while french doors extend the main living area onto the wrap around deck, reinforcing the strong connection to the surrounding environment.

The kitchen remains true to its era, with original timber cabinetry, practical storage and a functional layout that will appeal to those who value authenticity or see scope to enhance over time. Throughout the home, original built-in furniture and detailing add character and reflect the architect's intent.

The home boasts three bedrooms and a study, plus an additional second living area downstairs, with outdoor access to the private rear garden and use of an additional shower and toilet located in the adjacent laundry. The master bedroom is a haven of relaxation, with its very own en-suite and private lookout from the top floor. The perfect place to enjoy a morning coffee or evening aperitif while taking in the breathtaking scenery. The further two bedrooms share a family bathroom and separate toilet.

Set on a generous 817sqm (more or less) freehold section, with established grounds, triple car garaging plus ample off-street parking for all the vehicles. Handy to local Bay View amenities and village, and only a short drive to Napier Airport and CBD.

Seldom available, this home will resonate with buyers who value design integrity, originality and the opportunity to make such a significant piece of architecture their own.

Do not delay! Contact Di Martin to secure your private viewing.
