This timeless two-storey Louis Hay designed residence occupies an elevated position on Napier Hill with expansive views over the city and out to Cape Kidnappers. The home has been fully renovated to the highest standard including an extension to the kitchen/living area. In doing so, great care has been taken to ensure all period features that make this home so special, have been retained. On entry, you will be impressed with the arched wrought iron entrance way gates. Equally so with the interior which is immaculately presented with its extensive Rimu panelling, leadlight windows, polished timber floors and high stud moulded ceilings.

Specially imported light fittings beautifully complement the interior. For everyday living, an entertainers' kitchen, stunning in white with premium appliances and breakfast bar opens to a large family room and in turn, to a good size verandah with city and sea views.

A large dining and lounge provide excellent additional living spaces with French doors allowing these rooms to become one when entertaining. A guest bathroom and laundry complete this area. A beautiful native timber stairway leads to the first floor where you find the sumptuous master with an en-suite and its own balcony, along with two large double bedrooms, a single bedroom and a beautifully appointed family bathroom.

The home is centrally heated, well insulated, all the main windows are double glazed, with a log burner adding ambience in the formal lounge over the winter months. An established landscaped garden with rock wall terracing and two small lawned areas meaning minimal ongoing maintenance.

Outdoor entertaining can be had on the verandah or patio area. A single garage and carport provide off street parking.

Located on one of Napier Hill's preferred streets and set among other quality homes, 8 Cobden Road offers discerning purchasers the opportunity to secure one of Napier's finest residences.
