Perched proudly on Napier Hill since the 1860s, this private villa is a true character-lover’s retreat. From the moment you spot its graceful street presence, you know you’re about to step into something special. Immaculately kept, remarkably preserved, and lovingly reimagined for today - it’s the kind of home that tugs at your heart while making everyday living an absolute joy.
Inside, every detail tells a story. Polished timber floors, intricate detailing and an ornate staircase whisper of its heritage, while light-filled living spaces invite laughter, gatherings, and quiet moments alike. From the modern kitchen and sun-drenched dining area to the east-facing deck - the perfect spot for your morning coffee - life here feels effortless. A separate lounge with bespoke shelving, a cosy window seat, and French doors to an expansive second deck blending indoor charm with outdoor ease. Fresh paint, new blinds, and elegant drapes tie it all together with refined grace. This home is both a social hub and a serene sanctuary.
The generous primary suite is a true haven, designed for rest and indulgence, complete with a luxurious ensuite boasting double vanities and a freestanding bath. Three further double bedrooms offer room for family or guests each enjoying the same spaciousness and character. A stylish family bathroom, refreshed laundry, and ample storage mean everything has its place.
Outdoors, two inviting kwila decks and beautiful mature landscaped gardens create the stage for easy entertaining - from morning brunches to evening alfresco dining under the stars. Practical touches like basement storage and off-street parking enhance everyday living.
Located in one of Napier Hill’s most sought-after streets, this home is zoned for top schools and just moments from city amenities and the Ahuriri waterfront. Elevated and private, it offers a rare combination of character, comfort, and convenience - a residence to be treasured for generations to come.
