Nestled in a quiet area of Havelock North and surrounded by lush, terraced gardens once part of an orchard, this architecturally designed home offers a unique blend of creativity, comfort, and heritage. Influenced by the renowned John Scott and designed by one of his associates, the home offers a series of connected living spaces—both open and intimate—flowing harmoniously and highlighted by hallmark Scott features including warm timber detailing, thoughtfully placed window seat, kitchen design and colour palette. The open-plan kitchen and living area invites relaxed living, transitioning seamlessly to a separate, light-filled dining room.
