80 Ormond Road, Twyford, Hastings, Hawke's Bay

This house has truly stood the test of time; it has been modernised, expanded, and continues to hold timeless appeal. With established trees and a circular driveway, it creates an inviting entrance. The home stands out beautifully against its backdrop on a nearly 6500 square metre flat section, which is well-planted and provides ample space for families to roam. The in-ground saltwater pool and space for a tennis court enhance the outside entertaining options. The surrounding orchard increases the feeling of openness.

The formal entranceway is spacious and leads into a separate office that can serve well as a homework space. It also features a powder room, an internal garage, a large laundry and storage room, and access to the kitchen.

For those who enjoy entertaining, the kitchen is a dream come true. It boasts stone countertops, electric-opening drawers, a dedicated bar, and an impressive scullery equipped with an additional wall oven, dishwasher, and a large sink. An air conditioning unit in this area will be a welcome addition for cooling when hosting large gatherings.

The open-plan kitchen, dining, and lounge area is bright, welcoming, and filled with natural light. There is also an adjacent drawing room that could be transformed into a formal dining space or used as a cosy second living area.

The home's neutral colour palette, along with the soft furnishings, beautifully complements the exterior, creating a light and inviting atmosphere. Three bedrooms are generously sized doubles; the fourth master suite offers privacy and an updated ensuite; natural sunlight streams through the wooden-opening windows.

Additionally, there is a second office space nearby that could be used as a dressing room or nursery. The large former pack house shed is versatile, featuring three openings for machinery, three-phase power, and plenty of space for recreational toys.

The RD5 community in Twyford is strong, traditional, and generational, with a highly regarded primary school that connects this community and caters to students from Year 0 to Year 8. The location is central to the expressway, close to the industrial centre on Omahu Road, and along the renowned 'Oak Avenue'.
