78 Charles Street, Westshore, Napier City, Hawke's Bay

Utterly sweet and truly endearing from the street, this remarkable villa holds the key to a very special lifestyle. Set just one street back from the shoreline, the location here is sensational. Cycleways, walkways, the local chippy, amenities, and gentle waves are all just a short stroll from your doorstep. If you fancy venturing a little further around the marina, you'll find yourself in the heart of Ahuriri, a vibrant hub of local cuisine and social activity. The ease of retreating to your own quiet stretch of Westshore coastline or stepping into the lively social scene – all on foot – is both rare and remarkably enjoyable.

There’s something truly captivating about this home; it’s far more than just a house – it’s a complete lifestyle with a character all its own. While quaint from the outside, you’ll be blown away once inside. The charm here lies in its beautiful entertaining spaces, stunning views, and thoughtful functionality, seamlessly combined with the villa's timeless architectural features.

Set across two levels, the generous upper-level deck offers gorgeous views of the estuary and Kaweka Ranges – an undeniably perfect spot to spend evenings and watch the sunset. Both bedrooms on this level enjoy stunning vistas, with the larger room showcasing an impressive ocean outlook.

On the lower level, further extensive outdoor living connects perfectly to the updated galley-style kitchen, complete with underfloor heating and ample storage. The home boasts open plan living and dining areas, as well as a secondary living room, offering well-considered spaces that are ideal for family life or entertaining. Two additional double bedrooms complete the lower level, with the master suite resembling a luxury retreat. It features a stunning bay window, ornate ceilings, elegant linen drapery, and bespoke storage – a truly lush space with direct, ensuite-style access to the fully renovated family bathroom, which also benefits from underfloor heating.

Bursting with charm, personality, and practicality, this home is set on a freehold, fully fenced, and meticulously maintained section, offering privacy, tranquility, and an undeniably special lifestyle.
