24A Kensington Drive, Taradale, Napier, Hawke's Bay

Beautifully maintained and immaculately presented, this one-owner three bedroom home enjoys an exceptional northern boundary overlooking the Knightsbridge Reserve and Taipo Stream. In mint condition throughout, it offers a rare blend of tranquillity, low-maintenance living, and a premium setting that will appeal to buyers seeking to downsize while enjoying both comfort and location.

The grounds provide a wonderful blank canvas for those wishing to add value through further landscaping, while the open outlook to the reserve delivers a daily connection to nature. For 29 years, the owners have cherished the ever growing birdlife and the gentle activity along the Rotary cycle path and walkway - there is always something to watch.

Designed to capture sunshine and views, the home’s layout is practical and inviting. The open-plan kitchen flows to a cosy family room featuring a built-in wall unit, and which has direct access to a sheltered outdoor patio, perfect for morning coffee or relaxed evenings. A combined lounge and dining area offers generous space for entertaining and also connects seamlessly to the rear patio and yard.

Year-round comfort is assured with four heatpump/airconditioning units, full double glazing, topped-up insulation, and 180L mains-pressure hot water. Both bathrooms are in superb condition, and the separate laundry - positioned en-route to the double garage - provides excellent cupboard space, with the dryer included as a chattel. Storage throughout the home is well considered, everything is neat as a pin and there are no lawns to mow.

Knightsbridge remains one of Taradale and Greenmeadows’ most sought-after neighbourhoods, celebrated for its peaceful community atmosphere, proximity to amenities, and easy access to renowned restaurants and wineries. This is a rare opportunity to secure a pristine home in a premium location where lifestyle, outlook, and long-term value align beautifully.
