50 Iona Road, Havelock North, Hastings, Hawke's Bay

Tucked away in the heart of Havelock North Village, this substantial family residence sits proudly on an elevated and private 2,338sqm (more or less) lifestyle section. Mature trees frame the site, creating a peaceful sanctuary with exceptional outdoor amenities including a flood-lit tennis court, salt-water swimming pool, and a sheltered outdoor entertaining courtyard. Offering the perfect combination of space, privacy, and convenience, this is an enticing opportunity to enjoy a coveted lifestyle, just moments from the village centre and within walking distance to renowned Woodford House and Iona College.

Architecturally designed and generously proportioned, the home has been cleverly crafted for effortless family living and entertaining. The elevated position captures sweeping views, while enviable indoor-outdoor flow provides a connection to the natural surroundings.

Three spacious living and dining rooms all open onto a substantial deck that overlooks the tennis court and landscaped grounds, providing relaxed and formal entertaining spaces that can be enjoyed separately or seamlessly connected into one expansive zone. The well-appointed kitchen features a walk-in pantry and a servery window opening onto the entertaining courtyard, complete with outdoor fireplace and speakers, creating a perfect space for alfresco dining beside the pool.

Upstairs, the primary retreat boasts a tranquil sitting room with elevated views, along with a generous bedroom, walk-in wardrobe, tiled ensuite, and a private balcony with expansive views over the grounds and village beyond. Privately positioned on the ground floor, the family wing features three double bedrooms, all with built-in wardrobing and direct access to a wisteria-covered gazebo and tranquil grounds. Designed with family convenience in mind, the main bathroom includes dual showers and a double vanity, along with a laundry area and a separate powder room.

With an abundance of storage throughout, there's also substantial space for vehicles and hobbies, provided by a double garage with loft space, a single garage, and generous off-street driveway parking.

Testament to the wonderful location and comfortable living experience, the current owners have cherished this home since building it. With fond memories behind them, they are now ready to downsize and welcome another family to raise their children here. More than just a home, this is a lifestyle of family fun and exceptional convenience, a true sanctuary with space to grow, entertain, and unwind.
