15 Muritai Crescent, Havelock North

Tucked away in the coveted dress circle, this distinctive home sits peacefully within an enclave of quality residences, well removed from the main road. Originally designed by well-known architects, Raiford Gardiner and John Scott, in the early 1970s and later thoughtfully extended by Simon Clarkson, the property has since undergone further transformation with meticulous enhancements by the current owners. With an emphasis on comfort, character and practicality, the home offers a flexible layout across two levels. At the heart of the home is a cleverly designed kitchen which blends seamlessly into the open-plan dining area and adjoining intimate living zones, each inviting relaxation and connection. The ground floor is anchored by a generous master suite featuring a walk-in wardrobe and luxurious en-suite with bath. A second bedroom, updated family bathroom and a versatile office or fifth bedroom with its own external access provide options for guests, working from home, or potential short-term rental income. Upstairs, two further bedrooms—or a bedroom and rumpus room—cater to growing families or extra living space. Character features are found throughout: vaulted ceilings, bespoke light fittings, built-in window seating and creative interior touches that add warmth and style. A separate scullery and a number of cupboards offer practical storage, while the real showstopper is the expansive garaging (106 sq m) which can fit up to five cars—perfect for car enthusiasts, hobbyists, or anyone craving space. The paved outdoor verandah, with built-in fireplace, has been wonderfully extended and offers the perfect place for long, lazy lunches whilst looking out over the picturesque garden. This is a rare opportunity to secure an architecturally significant home in a tightly held location, with privacy and personality in equal measure.
