Privately positioned in an awe-inspiring elevated setting on one of Napier Hill’s most sought-after addresses, this exceptional residence pairs distinctive mid-century design influence with extensive contemporary refinement. Commanding truly spectacular sea views and to Cape Kidnappers - with the hum of the Napier city below and the strength of Te Mata Peak in your sights too - it is a home of individuality, presence and remarkable privacy.
Considerably refurbished and further enhanced by a succession of more recent upgrades, the residence has been thoughtfully evolved for modern living. Stylishly renewed with recent double glazing, upgraded insulation, heating systems, window treatments, solar power enjoyment with battery, plus refined contemporary fittings and enhancements. There is the added luxury of an internal lift that reflects the attention invested throughout - delivering comfort, efficiency and flexibility while retaining the individuality of the home's original design.
The open-plan kitchen and split-level dining and living spaces form the heart of the home, where expansive double glazing draws the outlook to the sweeping views extending across the city and coastline from the front alfresco setting too - a sensational and social space to entertain or simply unwind with friends.
Opening from the living areas is also the covered north-facing deck that provides a superb extension outdoors, creating a sheltered year-round setting for relaxing or simply enjoying the prized afternoon sun position with the lush botanical aspect and bird song surrounds.
Accommodation comprises four bedrooms - with three generous bedrooms positioned on the upper level, all offering excellent storage - including one with a walk-in wardrobe. These are served by another striking tiled bathroom with underfloor heating, and a sliding window that captures the mesmerising perspective of the vista - another unexpected detail that further connects the home to its remarkable setting.
The ground floor introduces an entirely self-contained dimension to the property or cohesive domain too that can function independently from the main residence while remaining internally connected by the internal lift or stairs. Complete with its own bedroom and lush picture window, plus another beautifully tiled finished bathroom with underfloor heating - there is the added appeal of a designated kitchenette and laundry room - providing all the essentials for comfortable independent living, Airbnb or extended family and guests.
Outside, the surprising established grounds create a private and carefree setting with mature landscaping and many productive fruit trees. Generous as they stand, the grounds also offer exciting freedom for outdoor living or recreation, while the scale of the site provides potentially to explore future development possibilities.
A spacious, carpeted double integral garage provides secure parking and everyday convenience, complemented by the generous adjoining workshop space - offering excellent additional space for storage, hobbies or projects and the abundant off-street parking rounds this off superbly - a rarity for Napier Hill living.
Zoned for highly regarded schooling and within easy strolling distance of Napier’s city centre, shops and restaurants, Napier Farmer's Market, local supermarkets and the Marine Parade, this home also enjoys convenient access to Hawke’s Bay Regional Airport.
Distinctive in design, exceptional in outlook and comprehensively enhanced for contemporary living, this is a special residence that offers far more than first meets the eye - a one-of-a-kind Napier Hill home in a sophisticated league of its own.
