Proudly positioned on a sunny, elevated site, this quintessential 1895 character villa offers a seamless blend of heritage and character with upgrades to suit a modern lifestyle. From the moment you enter through the wisteria covered arch way, prepare to be enchanted by this absolute gem. A labour of love by the current owners has resulted in a truly magical transformation of the home and surrounding gardens.

The front door opens from the sunny deck with sea view, into the main living room with striking décor and gas heater for cosy winters, flowing through to a second living room with built-in shelving, skylight and wood burner. High ceilings and an open-plan configuration provide a sense of space, offering a seamless flow between living, kitchen and formal dining. The practical kitchen with concealed laundry, looks out to the garden and has direct access to a sun-soaked conservatory. French doors to the garden, provide the perfect spot for morning coffee or casual entertaining with family and friends.

Accommodation comprises a large bedroom to the front of the home with a triple wardrobe and a delightful bay window with views of the sea and port. A second bedroom leads through to the third with en-suite, shower over bath, vanity and WC. A second, very stylish, recently renovated bathroom, features walk-in shower, luxurious tiling, LED lighting, underfloor heating and skylight. The interior, exterior and roof have all been recently repainted.

The wow factor continues out to the exceptionally private, sheltered landscaped grounds and new fencing, ensuring privacy and security for children and pets alike. A micro-climate has enabled the establishment of tropical inspired gardens, featuring a myriad of ornamental plants and fruit trees and a delightful gazebo with a sea view and spa. Multiple garden sheds, a glass house plus a single garage with power and off-street parking to the rear of the property offers convenience and practicality.

Keen walkers and dog lovers will relish the proximity of Sturms Gully Reserve, providing direct access to walking tracks and the Bluff Hill lookout. Positioned in a sought-after Bluff Hill location on the cusp of Ahuriri close to Napier CBD and within good school zones, this delightful home delivers on so many levels and should be on your list to view.
