9A Church Road, Taradale, Napier, Hawke's Bay

Fresh, contemporary, and immaculately presented, 9a Church Road remains one of Taradale’s hidden gems. With its neutral tones and modern design, this thoughtfully crafted townhouse offers a light-filled sanctuary — an unexpected urban retreat blending style and serenity.

With a wonderfully spacious ground floor laid over quality flooring, and headlined by a private courtyard that soaks up inspiring sunshine and natural winter warmth, this home delivers a flawless blend of style and functionality. Whether it’s cosy evenings with loved ones or wining and dining your guests over the weekend, the setting is spot-on for every kind of get-together.

Taking centre stage and primed for culinary brilliance, the stone-wrapped foodie’s zone draws everyone in to gather, graze, and enjoy an effortless entertaining experience.

Freshly laid plush carpets guide you upstairs, revealing even more lifestyle surprises. From the lofty stairwell peeking out to blue-sky views, to the beautiful second living area – perfect for curling up with a book or handing over to the kids as their own space – the cleverly designed four-bedroom layout strikes the ideal balance between function and form.

The master suite is a true retreat, finished with a gleaming ensuite and two generous walk-in wardrobes. Meanwhile, a sparkling main bathroom services bedrooms two, three, and four – ensuring comfort and privacy for the whole household.

With open-plan living spilling out to the courtyard alfresco, ducted AC providing year-round climate control, secure electronic entry, and a highly prized, carpeted single garage – this impeccably appointed townhouse is a showcase of elite living and lifestyle finesse, best experienced in person.

The level of craftsmanship and investment poured into this home is exceptional. Over $60,000 of premium upgrades have been integrated with precision and care. From the $20,000 Daikin ducted central heating system (upstairs and in the downstairs living area), to the Rinnai heat pump hot water cylinder offering up to 70% savings on heating costs, no detail has been overlooked. Premium Fisher & Paykel appliances, engineered stone benchtops, Italian tapware, custom wardrobe joinery, and smart home features like an EV charging socket, fibre-ready connectivity, and keyless entry all speak to the home’s forward-thinking design. That’s over $30,000 in appliance and heating upgrades, and another $30,000 in curated finishings – all included.

And while the home itself is a triumph in modern design, its location elevates it even further. Tucked away in one of New Zealand’s most desirable locations and within walking distance of world-class wineries, local parks, Taradale Library, and boutique shops – you’re right in the heart of Taradale’s thriving cosmopolitan scene.
