25 Muritai Crescent, Havelock North

Originally designed in the late 1970s by respected local architect Paris Magdalinos, this distinctive three-level residence has recently undergone an extensive refurbishment, thoughtfully revitalising the home while honouring its architectural character. Quirky and engaging in all the right ways, the design offers a series of inviting spaces that balance functionality with charm. The ground level provides a double garage and exceptional utility with wine room, tool room and generous storage, along with a versatile fifth bedroom and bathroom or hobbies space opening partially to the outdoors. The main living level is warm and welcoming, centred around a step-down snug with a stone block fireplace and built-in shelving that flows to a wraparound deck. A fully updated kitchen with walk-in pantry and treetop outlook connects to the dining area, while a separate living room with built-in bench seating and storage provides another relaxed gathering space. Three bedrooms and a newly renovated family bathroom complete this level. Occupying the top floor, the light-filled primary suite features a mezzanine sitting area or office, walk-in wardrobe and an en-suite, creating a private retreat away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Privately positioned in the dress-circle of Havelock North and set down a shared driveway, the property enjoys a peaceful, leafy outlook while remaining within walking distance of the village and excellent local schools. A compelling opportunity for buyers who appreciate thoughtful architecture and a home with genuine personality and scope to add further enhancements....
