82 Kent Terrace, Taradale, Napier, Hawke's Bay

Imagine your next ten years here. Morning light across the veranda, birdsong from the adjacent reserve, and that unmistakable feeling of coming home, to somewhere that simply makes sense. Balanced, elegant, and built for the way you want to live. This Kent Terrace home marks the start of a new chapter. For families, it’s space to grow in a remarkable and practical location, for those moving off the land, it’s quality and privacy without compromise. Either way, it feels right from the moment you arrive.

Set well back from the road, its weatherboard exterior, bullnose veranda and ornate detailing create a romantic street presence. Behind that façade lies a home of genuine substance with four-car garaging, an external studio style room with ensuite, and a layout designed for effortless living. The home’s central living area brings everyone together. Open plan living, dining and kitchen spaces flow naturally, anchored by a modern kitchen with walk-in pantry. Large sliders open to a covered outdoor space surrounded by lush greenery, completely private — perfect for entertaining, relaxing, or simply enjoying from early morning until late evening.

The left-wing features three double bedrooms, a family bathroom, and a secondary lounge, ideal for children, guests, or extended family, offering connection to the central living area while retaining independence. The right wing provides a private and considered zone for adults. The generous main bedroom opens to the garden and is complemented by a walk-in robe and ensuite. This wing also offers a powder room, office, and access to double integral garaging. The flow keeps the home unified while allowing distinct zones for different needs.

Whilst you may not have spotted it from the street, this property offers a secondary garage with heightened stud and three-phase power, complete with an adjoining hobbies room or gym and ensuite. Versatile and adaptable — from workshop and creative studio to home office or guest accommodation. Neighbouring a lush reserve with walking tracks, and just moments from Taradale’s village and excellent schooling, this home offers a rare balance of lifestyle, function, and presence.

Ten years from now, you’ll look back and be glad you started this chapter here — in a home that beautifully elevates the way you live.
