Iconic Character Home

This impressive 1930's home will welcome your family as you stroll up the winding drive and into the magnificent tiled porch. The spacious entrance hall features beautiful Californian redwood which continues throughout. The heart of the home is a comfortable living room with a deep window seat, beautiful ceilings, leadlight windows and formal dining area with ornate built in original cabinetry. The sunlit centre of the home has a cosy log fire, breakfast area and a thoughtfully modernised kitchen, which still retains some original tongue and groove features, while keeping the cook of the house happy with all the modern appliances we so enjoy. Imagine sitting around the blazing fire on a cold winter night or retreat to the snug where, in the summer months, you can open the French doors and sliding windows to the beautiful gardens and rolling lawns.

On the ground level is the parents' retreat - a stunning main bedroom with an adjoining study. There is a guest bedroom and a smart, spacious bathroom featuring a deep claw foot bath plus a handy second bathroom and large laundry/utility room. With seamless continuity of the original features of the home, renowned Architect Nick Bevin designed the renovations, which include two bedrooms with an inviting balcony on the upper floor. The large windows and skylight above the staircase spread sunlight throughout the centre of the home.

The 1807sqm garden is totally private, with a fantastic outlook to the ranges, and is beautifully planted with many mature trees and shrubs which attract native birds. Situated at the top of a quiet tree lined cul-de-sac and just a few minutes' drive to the vibrant Village and all the great amenities Havelock North has to offer. Opportunities seldom arise to purchase such a beautifully maintained and unique property.
