What's around 1 Seaview Terrace

Timeless Elegance with Spectacular Sea Views

Well known as the first of six villas developed on Seaview Terrace in the 1880s to provide stately dress-circle accommodation above the Napier CBD. This quintessential townhouse continues to offer gracious living with upgrades to suit a modern lifestyle. The home enjoys spectacular, panoramic views towards the ocean, Cape Kidnappers and southern hills, with Marine Parade and iconic heritage buildings in the foreground. Witness spectacular ocean sunrises and glorious sunsets lighting the sky behind the cathedral spire. The current owners have lovingly restored and preserved both the structural integrity and original features, including native timber floors and joinery, beautiful original staircase and rolled top verandah with fretwork and detailing. A bespoke kitchen and large scullery cater for generous hospitality and dining experiences. Interconnected living spaces offer access through French doors to a spacious, seaward-facing deck, providing the perfect setting for relaxed living and hosting. A freestanding log burner, heat pump, partial double glazing plus ceiling and underfloor insulation provide year-round comfort. The upper level includes four double bedrooms, two with sea views, and a well-appointed family bathroom. The downstairs double bedroom has its own entrance via the sunny west-facing courtyard, adjacent bathroom plus kitchenette, offering work from home, blended family, guest accommodation or supplementary income potential. The fully landscaped and cleverly designed terraced gardens include an organic vegetable plot, fruit trees, ornamentals and extensive native plantings. There is also the bonus of tandem parking with single carport, a luxury where off-street parking is at a premium. This is a rare opportunity to secure a part of Napier’s architectural heritage, within walking distance of the CBD, cafes, restaurants, Marine Parade, beaches and cycleways. This is Hill living at its finest in a friendly, supportive neighbourhood and in-zone for excellent schooling.

Verified Review

Straight-talking, hard-working, lateral-thinking agent; exacting standards; compassionate heart.

From the 'get-go', Neal showed his massive experience in bringing our heritage 1880s property to the market. Missing the mark four years ago in a falling market, was tough for us all, but this time he succeeded at lightning speed, offering us an off-market listing with no marketing costs! And getting a price above RV. We appreciated the Sothebys style of management where qualified buyers are shared across agents; it was a real asset having an agent for the buyer and Neal for us the vendors. Excellent negotiation skills. Plus, Neal has a great gift for staging and takes pride in presenting your home as if it were his own.
