Napier hill “Dress circle” views

Set in a premier dress-circle position on Napier Hill, this stunning home offers uninterrupted 180-degree views stretching from the glistening ocean to the serene estuary, the vibrant marina, rolling hills, and all the way to Mahia. As the day winds down, the panoramic outlook becomes even more magical, with breathtaking sunsets painting the sky in rich hues of orange, pink, and gold. This is a property where location truly sets it apart, ensuring that nearly every room captures the mesmerizing scenery.
Originally built in the 1930s, this home underwent extensive renovations in the late 1990s, transforming it into the luxurious and spacious retreat it is today. Thoughtfully designed, it features four generously sized bedrooms, three of which boast their own private ensuites—offering an exceptional level of comfort and privacy for both family and guests. The master suite is a true sanctuary, where you can take in the stunning views from bed or even while soaking in the bath, making every moment feel like a retreat.
Tucked down a private driveway, this hidden gem showcases quality craftsmanship, with extensive timber-facing aluminum joinery that beautifully frames the surrounding vistas. The open-plan living spaces flow effortlessly onto a large patio through bi-folding doors, creating an idyllic setting for alfresco dining and entertaining under the Hawke's Bay sun. And when evening approaches, this outdoor space becomes the perfect spot to unwind with a glass of wine while taking in the spectacular sunset. A well-appointed kitchen, complete with a convenient serving hatch, ensures hosting is both effortless and enjoyable.
For wine lovers, a generously sized cellar downstairs is perfect for housing a collection, while an additional lower-level space offers incredible versatility. Currently set up as a bedroom, lounge, a bathroom, and a kitchenette, this area—with its own private entrance—presents an excellent opportunity for extended family living, guest accommodation, or even a potential income stream.
This is more than just a home—it's a rare opportunity to own a breathtaking slice of Napier Hill. Combining elegance, comfort, and unparalleled views, this exceptional property is not to be missed.
