24 The Esplanade, Westshore, Napier

Nautical nuance, centre stage

Some homes sit by the sea. Others take centre stage. Elevated proudly on The Esplanade, this residence is a masterclass in perspective — a front-row seat to the ebb and flow of harbour life. From dawn's first light across the water to the golden glow of evening, the ever-changing tableau of ships, sails and sea is yours to enjoy.

Here, the horizon becomes your artwork and the coastline your canvas. Step outside and the coastal walkway stretches for miles, while Ahuriri, the airport and the city centre are only moments away. It's a lifestyle where convenience and calm intertwine.

Architecturally, the home leans toward theatre: sweeping concave windows curve around the living spaces, drawing in natural light and framing the panorama on a cinematic scale. The layout is both grand and practical, shifting seamlessly to suit changing needs. The upper level forms the heart of the home, with generous open-plan living, dining and kitchen spaces all positioned to embrace the view. The master suite also claims this level, complete with ensuite, balcony and a true sense of privacy.

The lower floor introduces a wealth of versatility. A semi self-contained wing — with its own living, dual bedrooms (or bedroom and office), bathroom and kitchenette — is ideal for extended family, guests or potential income. A further double bedroom, standalone laundry, double integral garaging and an impressive entranceway complete the picture.
Whether you're seeking a retirement move with room for family, a large family home, intergenerational living, or the flexibility of home and potential income, this property delivers. Beyond its striking stage presence, it offers substance and spaces that adapt to your story. Manicured, walled courtyards provide private outdoor escapes, while the home's scale and design ensure versatility without compromise.

This is more than a property. It is a vantage point, a lifestyle, and a rare chance to stand where land meets sea — and watch the world move to its tides, all from your own centre stage.
