About this property

Designed by architect Fiona Christeller, this distinctive home is a thoughtful response to its surroundings, carefully positioned to make the most of the site's unique outlooks and natural setting. Clad in timeless board and batten, the home's character is immediately apparent. Curved rooflines, interesting angles and a departure from conventional square spaces create a sense of individuality, while large windows draw the outdoors in and frame views at every turn. From the upper level, views stretch from the Kaweka Ranges across to the sea at Napier, providing an ever changing backdrop throughout the day. Bordering a reserve and surrounded by established native planting, the home enjoys a unique treehouse like feel, where birdsong and greenery form part of everyday life. The flexible layout includes loft style bedrooms full of charm and character, along with a generous rumpus room that offers options for additional accommodation, a creative workspace, second living area or hobby room. Much loved by its current owners, this is a home they have designed, built and enjoyed over the years, with a clear appreciation for what makes it so individual. Now ready to downsize, they are offering the opportunity for its next owners to enjoy and make their own this truly distinctive property. With clear instructions and genuine motivation to downsize, the vendors are committed to selling and ready to meet the market at auction. Offering a wonderful sense of privacy while remaining part of a welcoming neighbourhood, with its distinctive design, connection to nature and outlooks that are difficult to replicate, this is a home that offers something truly special. Auction | 12:00pm Friday 9 October, 15 Havelock Road, Havelock North (Unless sold prior)
