Panoramic, north-facing views set this residence apart, overlooking the ocean, the port, and the Kaweka Ranges beyond. Hardinge Road is a highly sought-after coastal location in Ahuriri, prized for its lifestyle, scenery, and proximity to the water. This residence is very livable as-is, while offering clear potential to relocate and build new or renovate the existing home to fully capitalise on its premium waterfront setting, among prestigious surrounding homes with outstanding waterfront views.
A charming two-level Spanish Mission-style home, fully stand-alone on a freehold section, this property offers privacy, space, and freedom to enhance how you wish. Step inside a welcoming hallway where French doors open seamlessly onto a sun-filled courtyard, connecting indoor and outdoor living. Two downstairs bedrooms open directly to the courtyard and share a well-positioned bathroom, while clever storage, including a dedicated office nook and under-stair space, ensures practical living.
Upstairs, a luminous solarium fills the central living space with natural light and flows onto a wrap-around balcony, perfectly positioned to capture sweeping coastal vistas. The open-plan kitchen, living, and dining area connects effortlessly to the balcony, ideal for entertaining or enjoying the sea breeze in quiet moments. Subtle art-deco touches, leadlight features, and a kitchen skylight add warmth and charm throughout. The upper level also offers a full bathroom, separate WC, additional storage, and a tranquil primary suite with a walk-in wardrobe, a private sanctuary for rest and relaxation.
Outside, the fully paved courtyard and refreshing plunge pool create an idyllic space to unwind or entertain. A double integral garage, gas hot water, heat pump, and a well-maintained terracotta roof balance comfort and practicality with timeless coastal charm.
Ahuriri living at its finest: just a stone’s throw from the beach, with easy access to cafes, restaurants, the theatre, and the seaside pathway for walking, cycling, or watching the sails go by.
Held tightly and highly valued for its position, lifestyle, and long-term appeal, this is a straightforward and compelling waterfront offering for those seeking a private coastal retreat in one of Napier’s most desirable precincts.
