This much admired beautiful villa could now be yours.

Not an apartment person? Consider this. Close to town with views over Napier CBD to Havelock Hills and a peak of the sea plus superb summer living with a private, paved, sunny courtyard for your relaxation.

Outstanding because of the colourful, original colour scheme of the exterior, and the interior doesn't disappoint either.

Beautifully renovated and impeccably detailed, the enchanting touches take this home far beyond the norm. Superb original fireplaces, beautiful stained glass windows, stunning polished floors, luxurious bathroom complete with spa bath, and quirky colourful tiles that give a sense of fun.

The living room, dining room and kitchen open through French doors to the wrap around verandah and a secluded, courtyard that's perfect for a quiet evening drink. Close enough to town to walk for a coffee yet positioned high enough to afford sweeping views. This is sophisticated city living at its best.

The kitchen would tempt the creative cook with its wonderful granite benches and state of the art appliances. It's designed to reflect the style of the villa yet offer 21st century convenience.

The clever use of space in this villa is demonstrated by the home office which is big enough for serious business but private and discreetly tucked in behind the kitchen.

Two of the three bedrooms have large built in wardrobes and the third bedroom with its cosy fire is currently used as a snug retreat and media room.

The house is fully central heated.

This owner is heading overseas soon and this properly must be sold. Visit, fall in love and it's yours for the asking price of $499,000.
