An exceptional marine villa, set privately back from the road and elevated above the harbour, with the water feeling almost within reach.

Here, “marine villa” is more than a description. It speaks to the history of this special pocket of Herne Bay, where early homes were positioned above the Waitematā and residents travelled by boat, many from private jetties and boathouses below. With its beautiful bay windows, ornate fretwork and elegant return verandah, this is undoubtedly one of the area’s prettiest villas.

Evolved with care over time, the home retains the character and craftsmanship of its era, with sash and leadlight windows, original timber panelling and a fireplace set within its original hearth. Considered contemporary updates sit comfortably alongside these features, creating a home that feels elegant, authentic and highly liveable.

Privately positioned upstairs, the principal suite is a peaceful retreat with a generous en-suite, balcony and expansive harbour views. Three further bedrooms, including one with its own en-suite, provide excellent accommodation for family and guests.

Outdoor living unfolds on both sides of the home, following the sun throughout the day. A spacious easterly garden is perfect for relaxed morning breakfasts, while the afternoon entertaining area and heated in-ground swimming pool provide a private setting for long summer evenings.

This is an opportunity to secure a home in arguably Herne Bay’s finest pocket, live beautifully from day one and, when the time is right, take an already exceptional property to another level.

Beautiful now. Extraordinary next.
