1 Grey Street, Bay View, Napier

A one-of-a-kind treasure awaits!

Welcome to a true “labour of love” — 16 years in the making, where every detail has been thoughtfully crafted to create a home that effortlessly balances modern living with creative charm. Nothing about this property is "cookie-cutter". It's a vibrant, soulful place where memories are made, laughter rings through the halls, and family life thrives.
From the character-filled rumpus room with its nod to the original home's story, to the state-of-the-art kitchen fitted with the latest high-tech appliances, this home blends old-world warmth with contemporary style. Gather around the large island bench — the true heart of the home — perfect for sharing meals, creating masterpieces, homework sessions, and lots of joy & laughter.
Unique touches are everywhere: original weatherboards showcased with pride, a grapefruit wallpaper feature adding bold personality, and cozy comfort courtesy of a large wood burner, heat pump, and full insulation. In summer, throw open the large bi-fold doors to spill out onto the sun-soaked deck and expansive garden — ideal for family barbecues, a game of soccer, or simply soaking up the serenity.
Parking will never be an issue with a double integral garage, off-street parking for a campervan, dual access, plus a double car shed ready to develop further or use as bonus storage. This home carries an eco-friendly soul too, with a thriving setup of chickens, vegetable gardens, and solar panels — perfect for living a little lighter on the land. You'll love the abundance of fruit trees: apples, figs, grapes, passionfruit, plums, feijoas, guavas, apricots, raspberries, and more.
Inside the main house, every bedroom (except one) has bi-fold doors opening to the patio and lush garden — inviting natural light and indoor-outdoor living into everyday life. The wide hallway has been cleverly designed for a busy family, with hooks for school bags and a gallery wall perfect for showcasing kids' artwork.
And there's more...
The property includes a consented minor dwelling with its own private access and courtyard which has been rented long-term until recently — offering huge flexibility. Whether it's a space for extended family, an independent teen, or a lucrative AirBnB or rental opportunity, the choice is yours.
All this in a semi-rural setting — whisper-quiet yet only minutes from transport links and everyday amenities. This is more than a home. It's a lifestyle — brimming with heart, opportunity, and soul.
