Held by the same family for 46 years, this grand Hillcrest residence offers an exceptional chance to secure a landmark home in one of the area's most tightly held enclaves. After decades of cherished ownership and enjoyment, the time has come for the owner to downsize and embrace an exciting new chapter, creating a rare and genuine opportunity for the next privileged owner to secure this exceptional home.
Set on an elevated and beautifully landscaped 2,935sqm site, the property commands breathtaking panoramic views stretching from Mt Putauaki across the plains, Whakatāne township, Motuhora (Whale Island) and Whakaari (White Island), with absolutely magical sunsets. Ever-changing outlooks and abundant native birdlife create a private, peaceful retreat just moments from town.
The home itself is rich in character and warmth, featuring light-filled open-plan living, high ceilings and elegant Art Deco influences, including a striking curved lounge. Indoor-outdoor flow leads to sun-soaked patios ideal for entertaining or quiet reflection.
Accommodation is generous and flexible, with a downstairs bedroom and nearby bathroom ideal for guests or working from home. Upstairs offers three further bedrooms, including a master with ensuite and walk-in wardrobe, plus a second living area with balcony that can easily serve as a fourth bedroom or teenage retreat. Three bathrooms, separate laundry, internal-access garage and excellent off-street parking complete the package.
