41 Hetley Crescent, Taradale, Napier, Hawke's Bay

Some homes give you four bedrooms, but with compromise - this one gives you room to live. Set high in one of Taradale West's most loved locations, this substantial well-maintained family home offers something increasingly rare - genuine scale. In fact, homes of this size simply aren't being built anymore.

From the moment you walk in, the proportions make an impression. Downstairs, a bright welcoming entranceway and two notably generous bedrooms, giving everyone room for more than just a bed and a dresser. There's space for children to actually play and add desks for growing teenagers - a luxury that makes a real difference to family life. Complimented by a large family bathroom.

Upstairs, when you finish taking in the views through the statement picture windows, you're in the heart of the home which is equally impressive. The large kitchen connects effortlessly with the two expansive living areas and a separate formal dining room. Whether it's a quiet night in, a house full of friends or a table overflowing with family, you have the flexibility to bring everyone together, or to spread out. The spacious master suite offers plenty of room to unwind, complete with a walk-in robe and updated ensuite, has doors opening directly onto the balcony, a perfect spot for a morning coffee. A fourth bedroom, which could easily be used as an office if you'd prefer, and a third guest toilet add to the appeal.

But it's the setting that elevates this home even further. Positioned to capture a wonderful northerly aspect and beautiful elevated views, the outlook is complemented by an abundance of native birdlife and the natural amenity of a reserve, walking tracks and cycleways right on your doorstep.

For the entertainer, it's a dream. For a growing family, it's the space you've been searching for. And for those who simply appreciate a home with generous proportions, versatility and a sense of permanence, this is not a home you'll outgrow in a hurry. It's a home for big family breakfasts, teenagers spreading out, friends staying over, celebrations that spill from one room to another, and everyday life lived without feeling confined.

Walking distance to Taradale amenities and schools, this is the kind of home that makes you realise just how much space you've been missing. Call The Goods at Harcourts to view by appointment, or please join us at an open home.
