73 Hardinge Road, Ahuriri

Positioned within one of Ahuriri’s most tightly held waterfront precincts, this turn-of-the-century, classic villa presents a compelling opportunity to secure a substantial coastal landholding in a highly sought-after location within the Harbour Reserve Historic Heritage Precinct. Set on a generous site across two titles, with a total of approximately 860 sq m, and access from both Hardinge Road and Waghorne Street. This property offers classic, wide street appeal, double bay façade and traditional white picket fence, a timeless presence that reflects the character of the era. The interior of the home retains much of its original charm, with elevated ceilings and timber detailing. The living spaces are configured in an open-plan arrangement, connecting kitchen, dining and lounge, where a bay window captures natural light framing expansive ocean views and the Kaweka ranges. As day turns to evening, watch the port lights begin to glow, giving way to spectacular sunsets over the ranges, a setting that feels like a permanent escape. While some upgrades have been carried out over time, including re-roofing, upgrades to wiring and insulation top and bottom, there remains a clear opportunity to add significant value and bring a fresh vision to life. Accommodation comprises four bedrooms, supported by two bathrooms and a separate WC, and gas infinity hot water from reticulated mains gas. Land and location truly set this property apart. The expansive section, combined with dual access and premium positioning, will appeal to those looking to restore, reimagine or explore future development potential. Just moments from the waterfront and a short stroll to Ahuriri’s vibrant village, you will enjoy easy access to cafés, restaurants, bars, boutique shopping and the beach, a lifestyle that continues to underpin strong demand in this coastal enclave. Offered to the market as a property requiring vision and investment, this is a rare opportunity to secure a foothold in one of Napier’s most desirable seaside locations, limited only by your imagination.
