Last updated: 25 September 2024
As soon as you enter this “absolute waterfront” home at 39 Ferguson Street, Bay View, Napier, you’ll be captivated by the glittering ocean views stretching from Napier across to Mahia Peninsula.
This home, built in the mid-1960s, and substantially updated in recent years, has been thoughtfully designed to maximise those breathtaking views. Its light, airy interiors enhanced by modern design touches, feature expansive floor-to-ceiling double-glazed windows. Recent updates include new aluminium cladding and joinery, as well as a full re-plumbing and re-wiring, complete with contemporary LED lighting.
A key highlight of this seaside retreat is the stylishly renovated kitchen by Malloys, finished in crisp white and complemented by engineered oak floors and the latest appliances. The kitchen flows seamlessly into the adjoining living room, where more of that spectacular seascape can be enjoyed. This area also offers easy access to a waterfront patio and spa, perfect for entertaining.
With three bedrooms and two bathrooms across 193 sqm, the home also boasts a second lounge beyond the main living area. Multiple outdoor patios provide ample space for relaxation – from the waterfront, where an in-ground pool beckons, to the sheltered west side of the property.
The primary suite, which comes with a chic, updated en-suite, offers more of those stunning water views. For guests, a garage has been converted into a cosy studio with outdoor seating, protected by a stylish Louvretec cover. Additionally, a double garage with dual doors provides convenient drive-on access from the roadside.
Whether you’re seeking an attractive holiday home or a year-round residence, this property offers a lifestyle of luxury and relaxation.
For those considering Bay View as their permanent base, the vibrant community will welcome them. The highly regarded Eskdale School, which caters for students from entrance level to Year 8, is nearby, and for older children there are bus services to Napier’s high schools.
Conveniently located, the Bay View property is a short drive to popular cafes, eateries and shops in Westshore, Ahuriri and Napier town, all within five to 10 minutes.
And for those needing easy access to other parts of the country, Hawke’s Bay Airport is less than 10 minutes away, making this an ideal location for commuters. For those preferring a more leisurely pace, the 25 km Rotary Pathway, which loops around Napier, is a perfect way to start your day for a bike ride or a stroll.
Of course, one of the region’s biggest draws is its fresh produce and renowned wineries. From Ferguson Street, you can walk to the charming Crab Farm Winery in just five minutes, with Linden Estate Winery also nearby in Esk Valley.
Interest in this waterfront property has been high, according to NZ Sotheby’s International Realty agent, Jacqui Taylor. The first open home attracted a diverse range of potential buyers, from retired farmers to young families.
The tender campaign for this property closes at 4 pm on Thursday October 31 2024, NZSIR Ahuriri office unless sold prior.
