A Family Classic with Space to Add Value

Prepare to be captivated by the timeless charm of this 1929 architectural gem, designed by the renowned Louis Hay. Rarely do properties of this calibre and character come to market. With solid bones and an exceptional site, this is a home where you can add your own touch through redecorating, while still enjoying every moment in its current, very comfortable state.

This extraordinary residence beautifully blends Art Deco and Arts and Crafts design, set across 2445 sqm of meticulously established grounds. Elevated on Napier Hill, it boasts uninterrupted panoramic views over the Pacific Ocean and beyond.

From the moment you arrive, you’ll sense the enduring quality and presence of a truly special home. Heritage features are showcased throughout - polished timber floors, ornate ceilings, intricate leadlight windows, and a distinctive quarter-brick inglenook fireplace. There’s room for everyone, with highlights including a full-size billiard room and wine cellar that add both charm and versatility.

Upstairs, four spacious double bedrooms each offer unique outlooks, ideal for family living or hosting guests. A recently refreshed family bathroom and additional shower room provide comfort and convenience.

Step outside and you’ll understand why this has been such a cherished family home. The expansive lawn is perfect for games, gatherings, or quiet afternoons in the sun. The gardens are beautifully landscaped, the backyard is fully fenced for children and pets, and a sea-view deck provides a front-row seat to ever-changing coastal vistas. Sturms Gully nearby offers walking tracks and birdlife for the nature lover. Practicality is well considered, with easy drive-on access, ample parking, a standalone garage, and a separate shed.

This is more than just a house - it’s a place where family memories have been made and where new ones are ready to begin. Located minutes from Napier’s CBD, the vibrant Ahuriri waterfront, and top-tier schools, this rare offering combines historic charm, modern comfort, and incredible potential.

Opportunities like this are few and far between. Move in and enjoy it as is, or enhance it over time - either way, this is a family home to fall in love with.
