There’s something satisfying about a home that hasn’t been stripped of its character in the name of ‘modern’. The layout flows, the light behaves, and the garden earns its space. It’s real, it’s functional, and it’s got enough personality to feel like yours from day one.

Step inside and you’ll see why homes from this era still hold their own. The living area feels generous without wasting space - picture windows pull in the sun, and the dining zone sits naturally beside a bright galley kitchen. Here, the details matter: gas cooking, full-length glazing, warm timber tones and enough bench space to keep both the cook and the conversation going.

Each of the three bedrooms has its own rhythm - quiet in tone, easy to furnish, and filled with natural light. The bathroom pairs classic panelled charm with practicality, offering a separate shower and bath for the everyday routines that keep life moving. A dedicated laundry and separate toilet keep things simple and sensible.

Beyond the back door, the home’s personality expands. A screened porch opens to a paved terrace shaded by a pergola, with the pool just steps away - the kind of set-up that turns ordinary weekends into long ones. The yard itself is generous and fully fenced, leaving plenty of room for pets, raised gardens or simply space to stretch out.

There’s storage and workspace where you need it most: a detached garage with a workshop, an adjoining room that works as a studio or home office, and off-street parking for multiple vehicles or the boat.

Set in a quiet, well-established pocket of Pirimai, the location brings everything within easy reach. Local shops, parks and schools sit just around the corner, while the Onekawa Aquatic Centre, sports grounds and Napier CBD are only minutes away. Marine Parade and the waterfront are a quick drive for weekends, and main routes connect smoothly for commuters.
