45 Murphy Road, Taradale, Napier, Hawke's Bay

There’s a relaxed, lived-in charm to this three-bedroom Taradale home, where polished timber floors, warm timber detailing and a generous 120m² floor plan give everyday life a little more personality. The layout feels connected without losing definition, making it an appealing choice for anyone who values character, comfort and room to settle in.

The living area stretches through to the kitchen, creating an open-plan setting where cooking, dining and unwinding can happen together. Broad windows bring in plenty of natural light, while a heat pump and logfire keeps the main living zone comfortable through the seasons. The kitchen offers excellent bench space, a breakfast bar and plenty of cabinetry, with timber flooring carrying through to the hallway for a natural sense of continuity.

Three bedrooms give you flexibility for family, guests or working from home, with the main bedroom enjoying a generous feel and distinctive timber trim. The bathroom includes a glass shower and vanity, while the separate WC and dedicated laundry, both useful when mornings get busy. Built-in hallway storage adds another handy everyday detail.

Outside, the front lawn offers room for kids to play beneath the shade of a mature tree, while a paved area along the side of the home creates a more tucked-away spot for morning coffee or a quiet evening outdoors. A detached single garage provides parking along with useful extra storage.

Taradale adds plenty to the lifestyle, with the shops and cafés of Taradale Village, Anderson Park and EIT Hawke’s Bay all within easy reach, along with local favourites Mission Estate and Church Road wineries.
