Restore, renovate, reimagine – and realise the potential of this sought-after Hospital Hill address.
Positioned on one of Napier's most desirable streets, this substantial 1930s Louis Hay stucco bungalow presents an exciting opportunity to secure a character home in an exceptional location. With its distinctive architecture, generous proportions and sea views, the foundations are here to create something truly special.
Rich in original features, the four-bedroom home retains much of the craftsmanship and charm of its era, including stained-glass windows, native timber floors and an ornate stone fireplace. A built-in window seat adds character to the formal living room, while French doors open onto a covered veranda, providing a lovely connection between indoors and out.
A separate dining and family room adjoins the modernised kitchen, positioned towards the rear of the home with access to the outdoors. Downstairs, a basement offers further possibilities for a games room, hobbies or a home office.
Set on a fully fenced 858sqm (more or less) section, there's plenty of scope to enhance the gardens and outdoor living areas, with room for children and pets to enjoy. Drive-on access, a separate single garage and additional off-street parking add to the property's practicality.
Surrounded by established homes in the highly regarded Hospital Hill neighbourhood, and within sought-after school zones, the location is a compelling reason to invest in this property's future.
Importantly, the home is entirely liveable as it stands and has a Healthy Homes Standards compliance certificate, giving buyers the flexibility to move in and enjoy the property while planning improvements over time. With its architectural character, generous landholding, sea views and prestigious address, this presents an exciting opportunity to add value.
Whether you're looking to restore its original character or introduce a more contemporary style, this is an opportunity to create something truly special in one of Napier's most sought-after locations.
