46 Tanner Street, Havelock North

Designed in 1912 by renowned architect James Chapman-Taylor, this captivating residence forms part of the storied history of Whare Ra. An annex to the celebrated Arts and Crafts landmark regarded as one of Chapman-Taylor's most significant works. Rich in character yet wonderfully easy to live in, this is a home that effortlessly balances heritage charm with a distinctly contemporary feeling. Relocated onto the current site in the 1980s and brimming with charm, the home is a gorgeous fusion of old and new. High stud ceilings, leadlight glass and polished wooden floors sit alongside a sophisticated palette of chartreuse, teal and earthy greens that gives the interiors a layered, modern edge while complementing the craftsmanship and soul of the era. Open plan living creates an easy social hub with a renovated kitchen and living spaces that provide the indoor/outdoor flow and conveniences that modern lifestyles demand. Bi-fold doors connect seamlessly to a new outdoor patio, a superb setting for entertaining, while a woodburner and heat pump ensure year-round comfort. Three bedrooms offer views to the private gardens below, complemented by a family bathroom and internal access garage with laundry and large mezzanine storage area. Outdoors, the thoughtfully curated courtyard is a true morning sun trap. Private, sheltered and beautifully executed for relaxed entertaining or quiet coffee amongst the birdsong. The surrounding setting feels wonderfully tucked away yet remains well connected. From here, it is an easy stroll to Havelock North Village for morning coffee, dining and boutique shopping, while nearby reserves and the walking and cycling trails of Te Mata Peak place nature and recreation firmly at your doorstep. A home with provenance, personality and an undeniably uplifting feel, this is a rare opportunity to own a piece of Hawke's Bay architectural history without compromising on ease or lifestyle. Our vendors are committed to selling, so viewing this beautifully renovated home is a must. This property won't last long, don't delay, call now to organise a viewing.
