8 Battery Road, Ahuriri, Napier, Hawke’s Bay, 4110, New Zealand

This unique villa style townhouse, comprising half of the original villa, enjoys sea views and is just a short stroll to the vibrant Ahuriri village and beaches. A timeless two-story design allows a welcome respite on the upper or lower balcony, while enjoying the cool sea breezes and warmth of a northerly aspect.

Number 8 is ideally situated in a character filled enclave of Battery Road where many historical homes are being lovingly restored and brought to life. And while the villa remains true to its colonial past, harmonious amenities such as a modern kitchen with induction stove top, clever storage options and easy-care stainless-steel bench top, and a cleverly discreet wine closet and pantry have been thoughtfully instated to give the home an effortless modern aesthetic. Both the kitchen and separate laundry with powder room share the underfloor heating under polished concrete floors; giving the rooms an ambient warmth felt on chilly days.

Soaring ceilings and large sash windows lend an elegant element to the interiors and are emphasized in both the open-plan living and the spacious bedrooms found on the second level. Spacious dimensions are found once again in the delightful bathroom which boasts double sinks and a fully tiled walk-in shower. The master bedroom is complimented by a terrace balcony on the north and two large wardrobes along the south wall.

Practical exterior considerations include off street parking, a structured and low maintenance garden design including a rear courtyard with a clothesline and a small storage shed. An enviable location within zoning for popular school zones – Port Ahuriri School, Napier Central School, and Napier Girls High School and within minutes of the Napier central business district and airport.
