1 France Road, Bluff Hill, Napier, Hawke’s Bay, 4110, New Zealand
Prepare to fall head over heels in love with this charming and expansive circa 1885 residence on one of Bluff Hill’s most desirable streets.
Rarely offered, this recently invigorated villa was extended and modified to a high-end finish; not only restoring the home to its former glory, but propelling it into a class of its own. A one-of-a-kind residence, rich in architectural history and exquisitely appointed, the property offers a lifestyle in a sought-after location.
Timeless design meets updated sophistication, evident throughout the 474 sq m footprint. From the high ceilings, the indoor-outdoor flow (an entertainers dream), to a large designer kitchen featuring premium appliances.
Choose from multiple spaces for entertaining, whether in the large lounge, or the open-plan kitchen and family/dining zone which flows effortlessly to a covered wraparound veranda. Designed for entertaining, the rooms offer great flow from the indoors to the outside. An expansive alfresco veranda features an outdoor fire and looks over the large, heated pool and sweeping landscaped grounds. A self-contained one bedroom guest cottage offers alternative accommodation for family or guests.
The master bedroom is the exceptional master retreat, complete with a substantial walk-in wardrobe and en-suite. Along with two other bedrooms, both with an en-suite, and a study which could convert to a fourth bedroom. Downstairs offers a large 65 sq m utility space with wine cellar, office, drying room, laundry and another full bathroom. There is a large underground 68 sq m four-car garage complete with vehicle turntable for easy access. This area is accessed by a concealed security tunnel from the garage to the main house.
The home is approached by a long tree-lined private driveway, and is sited on an extensive 4682 sq m section, set amongst a selection of mature trees – creating the perfect backdrop to the garden.
