6 Madeira Road, Bluff Hill

"Villa Madeira" is its own private, peaceful sanctuary in a convenient inner-city location. Graceful and elegant, this magnificent home sits proudly on Bluff Hill, with expansive views over Napier city, Hawke Bay and beyond to Mahia Peninsula and Cape Kidnappers. Rebuilt in the early 1930's after fire gutted the building in 1931's earthquake, the 380 sq m home was designed with a steely commitment to retention of its original classic 1900's architecture and villa grandeur. As you walk up the entry steps, you are led into the sheltered grand porch, giving you an immediate sense of classic charm, and alluding to the ambiance of this gorgeous residence. The impressive kitchen, with its stone benchtops, is as functional as it is beautiful. Adjoining, the formal dining room is a serene setting with French doors leading directly to the grounds and allowing the sun to stream in, and the bird song to be heard. A selection of living rooms; the main living is spaciously cosy with a gas fireplace and views to the Bay. An additional sitting room has the setup to be used for media. A paradisiacal sunroom, with French doors to the deck and luscious gardens, is the perfect spot to read a book or retire to at the end of the day. Upstairs, the master suite celebrates the panoramic views with full-width windows and enjoys an en-suite and walk-in wardrobe. Three additional bedrooms all have wardrobing. A dedicated office, with storage, is a great space for those that work from home. The double integral garage, as well as copious room for additional cars to park securely, are a rare bonus on Bluff Hill. A rumpus room on the ground level could be utilised for a myriad of options and connects directly to the laundry, utility room and garaging. Unrivalled in luxury, here is a unique opportunity to own an iconic Hawke's Bay character home. Call Kiki Abel on 027 871 9111 or Nick Fryer on 021 477 604. *Boundary lines are indicative only....
