153 Emerson Street, Napier South

A rare opportunity to secure one of Napier’s most captivating inner city residences, designed by renowned architects Tilleard Natusch & Sons, the Lockyers Art Deco freehold Apartment blends timeless character with exceptional convenience in the very heart of town. Positioned on the top floor, this expansive home showcases remarkable 1930’s craftsmanship and offers an elevated urban sanctuary with the luxury of secure garaging and generous outdoor living, an unprecedented combination for central Napier. Stepping inside, the sense of space is immediate. High ceilings, wide proportions, and multiple living zones create an interior that is both substantial and beautifully balanced. Original Art Deco features including ceiling roses, cornicing, feature doors and windows, and tiles salvaged from the Municipal Theatre, infuse every room with authentic period charm. The floorplan is impressively versatile, offering three double bedrooms with ceiling fans, two separate living areas each warmed by gas mains fires and supported by two dual heat or air conditioning pumps, a dedicated formal dining room, and a separate kitchen with a gas hob and fabulous green wall for a sophisticated backdrop with a skylight allowing additional light into the area. A cleverly concealed laundry with tub and substantial storage thought out adds practical ease without compromising aesthetics. Outdoor living is a defining highlight. Entry from Dalton Street leads you directly into your own private inner city retreat: a newly installed timber deck, framed by outdoor lighting and a storage shed. A covered sunroom with louvred windows extends the usability of this space year round, perfect for morning coffee, sheltered dining, entertaining or quiet evenings unwinding. Parking of this scale is virtually unheard of in Napier’s CBD. Two open car parks plus a two car garage (ideal for two smaller vehicles or one larger vehicle) provide exceptional convenience at a time when walking to work has become a true luxury. The apartment forms part of a three property Body Corporate. Lockyers Art Deco Apartment offers a lifestyle that is spacious, refined, and deeply connected to Napier’s heritage, an exceptional retreat in an unbeatable location with extraordinary parking.
