4 Dorothy Place, Bay View

A timeless 260 sq m, three-level residence designed in 1979 by renowned architect Paris Magdalinos, this distinctive home is a striking celebration of thoughtful design and enduring craftsmanship. Privately tucked away in a quiet cul-de-sac in sought-after Bay View, it rests on a generous 817 sq m family-sized section just moments from the ocean. From its elevated position, sweeping views stretch across the coastline to Cape Kidnappers and beyond, providing a breathtaking and ever-changing backdrop. Inside, Magdalinos’ signature style is immediately apparent - exposed timber detailing, raked ceilings, bold angles, and cleverly designed nooks create a warm, character-filled environment rich in architectural interest. Spanning three levels, the home offers three well-separated bedrooms, ensuring privacy and flexibility for family living. The master suite is a true retreat, complete with an en-suite and direct access to a private third-level reading nook, where expansive ocean views offer a peaceful escape. A well-appointed family bathroom services the remaining bedrooms. At the heart of the home, a U-shaped kitchen with breakfast bar and walk-in pantry is perfectly configured for both everyday living and entertaining. A separate dining room enhances the sense of space, while multiple living areas cater effortlessly to modern lifestyles. The main lounge, featuring a woodburner and built-in window seating, flows seamlessly to a large covered deck, ideal for year-round outdoor entertaining. The ground level adds further versatility, with a dedicated home office, an additional lounge, and internal access garaging. Practical features are thoughtfully integrated, including a separate laundry with WC and shower, two single integral garages with workshop space, and an additional standalone double garage with its own workshop, perfect for hobbyists, storage, or extra vehicles. Outside, established gardens, manicured lawns, and paved entertaining areas create a private and tranquil setting for family life or relaxed gatherings. Conveniently located just 15 minutes from Napier CBD, even closer to Hawke’s Bay Airport, and only minutes from Bay View village amenities, including cafés, restaurants, wineries, local produce stores, and the popular Eskdale School, this architecturally significant home offers a rare combination of character, space, coastal views, and lifestyle convenience....
