44 Te Mata Road, Havelock North, Hastings, Hawkes Bay

Set along one of Havelock North’s most admired streets, this beautifully maintained character home delivers rare charm, modern ease and enviable surroundings. From here, you’re a short stroll to village cafés, restaurants, bars and markets, a bike ride from the wineries, and minutes from Te Mata Peak’s walking trails. In one of Hawke’s Bay’s most sought-after pockets, it’s a place to settle and savour. In a rear section, it’s instantly welcoming: manicured gardens, hanging baskets and classic green trim set the tone for what’s inside. The front porch hints at slow mornings, while decorative fretwork adds storybook appeal. The home’s character flows through high ceilings, polished timber floors, ornate cornices and chandeliers that glow with soft nostalgia. The main lounge centres around a statement fireplace with an intricately carved mantel, creating a space both elegant and inviting. Two additional family spaces and home office offers the perfect study or work from home opportunity. The open-plan kitchen and dining area form the heart of the home, where exposed brick, native timber ceilings and crisp white cabinetry meet sunlight streaming through wide windows. It’s a seamless blend of heritage charm and everyday practicality, ideal for family meals or relaxed entertaining. The peaceful, spacious master suite offers a private retreat complete with ensuite. Three additional bedrooms — two generous doubles and one with twin singles — provide comfort for family or guests. The well-appointed bathroom includes a bathtub, perfect for long, indulgent soaks, while a versatile teen loft adds valuable extra space for relaxation or study. Outdoors, a wisteria-draped pergola shades the expansive wraparound deck and patio, creating an enchanting setting for summer evenings or lazy afternoons. Mature hedges, trees and foliage provide privacy and calm, while the separate double garage, workshop and generous driveway add spacious parking.
