44 Busby Hill, Havelock North, Hastings, Hawke’s Bay, 4130, New Zealand
Designed by Albert Garnett in the 1950’s this substantial home, within walking distance to the Village of Havelock North, has been extensively renovated under the direction of architect Simon Clarkson to create a modern day classic. Situated at the top of Busby Hill the home is approached by a sweeping private tree-lined driveway which opens to a large parking area and five car garaging.
Access to the home is via the Courtyard or through the internal garage or, for more formal occasions, use the front entrance where breathtaking views of Havelock North, the plains and Mt Ruapehu await. A large formal lounge flows easily outside and leads to a dining area with doors to the internal Courtyard and kitchen, it is an entertainer’s dream. A second lounge situated off the kitchen is ideal for children or as a snug. This home has four double bedrooms, two offices and a workshop/hobby room.
At the time of building the original owners had the pick of Havelock North to choose from and in the years since, this site has become a hidden oasis in the growing Village. The gardens extend to 4,631 sq m’s and whilst subdivision is an option, there is also plenty of room to add a pool and tennis court.
The underlying quality of this dress circle home is it’s style, privacy, tranquility and an incredible location just a stone’s throw away from the busy centre of Havelock North.
