285 Whirinaki Road, Bay View, Napier

Best life, beach-front, city fringe

If you didn't already know about this location, then your life is about to change! Just approximately 12 minutes from Napier city centre, less to the airport, and just a handful to Bay View village itself, rests one of Hawkes Bay's beach front secrets - The Whirinaki coastal escape. This unique and treasured community is the last stretch of natural coastal enjoyment within tangible city fringes and a seriously spectacular lifestyle.

We've saved the best until last, 285 being the second to last dwelling on this beautiful stretch of uninterrupted seascape at the very end of the cul-de-sac, a private home with direct access to the beach front, which you will enjoy all to yourself for much of the year. Wildflowers, waves, favorable line tossing and a Contiki fishing hot spot are literally on your door step, the location itself requires no further explanation - quite simply a secret paradise.

This particular home presents pole position on the street, being in the curve of the final cul-de-sac, tucked back from the sea spray and pivoted towards the cape - an incredible array of ocean views without compromise. Freehold and immaculately groomed grounds are just the beginning, whilst what may appear to be a humble home, offers far more than first expected.

Renovated throughout, largely double glazed, double garaging and workshop space with comfort features such as water filtration and softening, updated kitchen and bathroom, plus a number of “additional” spaces create room for almost any family. A beautiful and homely A-frame with high studs give a seriously spacious feel; mezzanine floor, decking and bedroom on the top level, whilst the lower level offers master bedroom, family bathroom, separate laundry, open plan kitchen, living and dining opening out to very generous wrap around outdoor living. In addition to the main dwelling, a standalone studio (rumpus) room creates a fourth space, enabling guests, teenagers or an office.

Be it a surreal holiday home, a full time residence (like much of the street) or an income potential combined with occasional escape, this beautifully presented home in a truly special location is very much a once in a lifetime opportunity.
