57a McDonald Street, Napier South, Napier

Five bedrooms. Pool. Parkside living.

Some homes offer size. Some offer location. Very few deliver both in the way 57A McDonald Street does.

Privately positioned on a rear section and bordering Nelson Park, this substantial family home occupies a setting that is increasingly difficult to find. Largely hidden from the street and spread across approximately 275sqm over two levels, it offers the scale, flexibility and lifestyle that modern families are searching for, yet rarely find so close to the city centre. Designed to accommodate every stage of family life, the home features five bedrooms, multiple living spaces and a layout that allows everyone to come together while still having room of their own. Whether it's growing children, teenagers, extended family, guests or working from home, the spaces adapt with ease to changing needs.

At the heart of the home, a beautifully updated kitchen overlooks the backyard and in-ground pool, creating a natural connection between indoor living and outdoor activity. Designed for busy mornings, family dinners and effortless entertaining, it remains connected to everything happening around it, making it easy to keep an eye on children in the pool or enjoy the outlook across the grounds. The home's thoughtful layout continues upstairs, where the master suite enjoys its own sense of separation, complete with an ensuite, walk-in wardrobe and extensive storage. A second generous bedroom captures impressive views across Nelson Park, with an outlook that shifts with the seasons and serves as a constant reminder of the unique position this home enjoys.

Outside, the family lifestyle only expands. The pool, outdoor entertaining spaces and secure grounds provide everything needed for summer living, while a rear gate offers direct access to Nelson Park whenever more room is required. Sports fields, open green space and endless opportunities for recreation sit immediately beyond the boundary, delivering all the benefits of a much larger property without the maintenance that usually comes with it. Practicality is equally well catered for, with access from McDonald Street leading directly into double integral garaging and providing the convenience busy family life demands.

Large family homes are becoming increasingly difficult to secure in central Napier. Finding one with five bedrooms, multiple living areas, a pool, double garaging, privacy, and direct access to one of the city's most iconic parks is rarer still. A home of genuine scale. A location that continues to reward. A family opportunity that stands apart.
