70 Duart Road, Havelock North, Hastings

AUCTION BROUGHT FORWARD - NOW THURSDAY 22nd FEB

If you've been waiting to find a substantial property in the heart of Havelock North, wait no longer. The clipped hedges and large gates of this notable home have long been admired by many passers-by, and what you will discover behind the gates will not disappoint.

Built around 1929 and designed by Eric Phillips, this beautiful villa has been loved, renovated and maintained beautifully for 18 years, with the owners now ready to pass on to another happy family. In 2002 architect Simon Clarkson designed extensions, resulting in a large single level home stretching across the site, opening to private extensive lawns and a pool. The centre of the house has formal and casual living areas complete with dining and kitchen, with the bedroom wings at both ends of the house. There are five bedrooms (two with en-suites), plus a family bathroom and two powder rooms. An office, a stunning large laundry and a luxurious spa bath room are included.

The gas fire, three heat pumps and underfloor heating in tiled areas heat the house and in the summer evenings you can gather on the covered terrace to enjoy drinks and a meal by the open fire.

The entrance provides for multiple guest parks and the large separate double garage has a staircase up to a wonderful office/playroom or potential guest suite.

Once outside the gates you'll find you are walking distance to the village and close proximity to schools and amenities. This is prime real estate offering wonderful opportunities and a lifestyle your family and friends will love. It's time to make it yours.
