30 Disraeli Street, Hawera, South Taranaki, Taranaki

Once the heartbeat of Hawera, 30 Disraeli Street played a remarkable role in the community, serving as the town’s maternity home between 1915 and 1939 and welcoming 954 babies. That legacy of care and connection still lingers in the walls of this gracious home. Built in 1910, this grand weatherboard residence stands proudly on its 1,816 sqm section. Fresh exterior paint sharpens its street appeal, while the rear deck captures the morning sun and the sheltered outdoor entertaining area is perfectly positioned for relaxed afternoons and long summer evenings. The enduring quality of the Graeme Beare kitchen shines through, offering gas hobs, electric oven, dish drawers and excellent storage. At the rear sits a generous laundry with second toilet and shower, plus a useful office room. The 210 sqm floorplan delivers superb versatility: two dining areas, a large living room with heat pump and open fire, an elegant library, and a beautifully repurposed front room ideal for unwinding and soaking in the garden. Four generous bedrooms include a spacious master with hidden ensuite, while two open onto their own porch area. A wide hallway with great storage, family bathroom with wet floor shower, and an upper-level flex space ideal for a teen retreat complete the picture. Notable features include cathedral-style timber windows, alarm system, insulation top and bottom, re-gibbed interior, extensive Rimu and Kauri timber, leadlight windows and rewiring. Outside, the freestanding automatic double garage, ample parking, veggie gardens and expansive front lawn. A truly exceptional character home—rich in history, beautifully cared for, and ready for its next caretakers.
