positioned on ahuriri’s tightly held waterfront promenade, this is a rare and compelling coastal offering within the harbour reserve historic heritage precinct. spanning two titles spanning approximately 632 sq m combined, with dual access from ahuriri lane and waghorne street, the opportunity here is as much about present-day enjoyment as it is scope for future potential.
set proudly behind a quintessential white picket fence, this much-admired character villa occupies a prime north-western corner site, capturing sweeping, uninterrupted views from napier port to the kaweka ranges. iconic norfolk pines frame an ever-changing coastal panorama, rolling waves, passing vessels and the gentle rhythm of promenade life.
this classic villa reflects the elegance of its era, with refined period detailing thoughtfully enhanced for modern living. a wide central hallway welcomes you into a home rich in character, where soaring steel-pressed ceilings, detailed architraves and extensive glazing create a sense of light and space throughout.
the generous living and dining area is bathed in natural light, seamlessly connecting to a well-appointed kitchen, rear outdoor entertaining courtyard and spa area. indoor/outdoor connection is effortless with expansive ocean views forming a stunning backdrop to everyday living. year-round comfort is assured with a gas fire, heat pump and insulation.
the primary suite enjoys a privileged sunny front position, featuring a classic bay window, plus en-suite and walk-in wardrobe. two additional double bedrooms, each with built-in wardrobes, are supported by a family bathroom with shower and wc plus a second bathroom with bath and vanity.
practicality is well considered, with a dedicated laundry, adjoining boot room and access to outdoor utilities and courtyard. a double carport with a generous lockable workshop/storage room is accessed by double electric gates from ahuriri lane.
offering further potential, the separate rear title portion has direct access from waghorne street to triple-bay, open-roof garaging and plenty of room for additional vehicles, the boat and toys. a private sunny alfresco entertaining sanctuary with pergola, spa area and established landscaping offers a private leisure retreat.
located within one of napier’s most desirable coastal precincts, you are just a short stroll from ahuriri’s vibrant selection of cafés, restaurants, boutiques and cinema. whether it’s a morning walk along the promenade or an evening out close to home, this is a lifestyle of ease, connection and enduring appeal.
