Summer barbecues on the covered terrace tiles. Friends and family spread across the courtyard and lawn. Time in the landscaped garden or tucked away in the studio. This is the kind of property that brings back the space and freedom of the Kiwi homes many grew up with.

The open layout keeps everyday life easy. The kitchen and dining area stay naturally connected while the separate, split level living opens straight to the patio and garden. A fireplace, ventilation system and ceiling fans provide comfort through every season.

You cannot fast-track a garden like this. Mature trees, broad lawns and colourful established planting create privacy, shade and character from day one. The paved courtyard offers another sunny place to entertain or unwind while the grounds leave room for pets, play and a vegetable garden.

The detached outbuilding combines a single garage with a versatile extra room. Use it as a home office, hobby space, creative retreat or rumpus. A bathroom with both bath and separate shower, separate toilet and a dedicated laundry keep the practical side covered.

All this, positioned in a private back section, on a peaceful street, within easy reach of Havelock North Village and Schools.
