1C Hill Street, Waipukurau, Central Hawke's Bay, Hawke's Bay

After 10 beautiful years of "home", there’s a lot the current owners are going to miss.

Family summers spent poolside, BBQing under the cabana, enjoying the privacy and views, and making endless memories together. The urban treehouse feeling, when the trees near the dining room gets its leaves, watching the local tui sing as they dart from tree to tree across the lower terrace, which also houses their manmade pond and turtles. The elevated position, with views of hills, trees, and the town below. The incredible privacy. The kids will definitely miss the epic loft tucked into one of the bedrooms, and they’ll all miss the warmth, storage, space and the way the sun fills the living areas, the undeniable welcoming energy.

This really is the dream family home.

With around 280m² of floor area across a generous 1,588m² section, there is some serious space for family life. On the lower level are two bedrooms, a large foyer, bathroom, separate laundry, great storage and its own external access, with potential to explore a more self-contained space for extended or multi-generational family living. A few steps take you to the double internal-access garage, then up again to the heart of the home. Light, bright, warm and sun-filled, this level offers spacious open-plan kitchen and dining with a walk-in pantry, plus a generous lounge warmed by the fireplace. Doors spill onto the deck overlooking the pool, connecting beautifully with the outdoor living. Upstairs you’ll find an oversized family bathroom with full bath and separate shower, separate toilet, and three more generous bedrooms with great storage, including that seriously cool loft.

Five bedrooms, two bathrooms, double garaging, 280m² of home and 1,588m² of land. Pool, cabana, pond, established greenery, privacy and views, all tucked away in your own urban retreat.

It’s time for another family to spend summers by the pool, fill these rooms with noise and laughter, and make the next decade of memories right here. Just call Kate to view your dream home.
