35 Charles Street, Westshore

Perched to enjoy views across the ocean to Napier Hill and the port, this well-positioned 1960s weatherboard home has been thoughtfully maintained and cherished by the same owners for the past 17 years. With a split-level design spanning three levels, this property offers both flexibility and comfort in a sought-after neighbourhood. The main living space occupies the upper level, where open plan living and kitchen areas are flooded with all day sun and panoramic outlooks to the east. Native timber floors could be exposed to add warmth and character, while sliding doors extend the living area to a generous deck – ideal for entertaining. From here, steps lead down to a private north-facing courtyard and onwards to a terraced garden on the eastern side of the home. On the middle level, you'll find two spacious double bedrooms, one with direct access to a deck and views to wake up to. A full family bathroom, separate WC, and a laundry chute provide practical everyday living, along with excellent storage throughout the level. The lower level includes a third double bedroom complete with ensuite and its own external access, making it a perfect retreat for guests or teenagers. A single integral garage is also located on the lower level, with further off-street parking available behind secure fencing and a gated entry. Outdoor areas have been fully fenced for peace of mind, and the gardens are easy-care with established planting and a garden shed for storage. There's ample space for kids, pets, or simply relaxing in the sun. Comfort and convenience are covered with two heat pumps, gas hot water, and insulation in the roof, underfloor, and some walls. A mix of aluminium and timber joinery complements the home's solid 1960s construction. Westshore, located with an easy drive to Ahuriri and Napier CBD, is renowned for its waterfront living and relaxed coastal lifestyle. With picturesque walking and cycling tracks, safe swimming, and surfing (Rangatira Reef), local cafes, and the shimmering Hawke's Bay at your doorstep, this location is an unparalleled retreat. This is a property that combines lifestyle, outlook, and long-term potential. The vendors are relocating and ready to make their next move – now’s your chance to secure this elevated and well-loved home....
