281 Durham Drive, Havelock North, Hastings, Hawkes Bay

Framed by established trees, this modernised home provides generous space and flexibility for family living in a tranquil setting. A separate self-contained cottage broadens the options, for guests or extended family. Despite the sense of privacy, village

amenities and schooling remain only minutes away. The updated kitchen is well-appointed for both everyday living and entertaining, featuring quality appliances, stone benchtops, a breakfast bar, and a walk-in pantry. Living areas extend outdoors to a deck with a louvre-roof pergola and an above-ground pool, creating an inviting setting for summer living. The balance of the land is fenced into paddocks, adding depth to the landscape and offering scope for animals such as chickens or those wanting space beyond the immediate home environment. The layout is practical and well separated. Three bedrooms are positioned downstairs, while upstairs the master suite occupies its own level, complemented by a family room at the base of the stairs, ideal as a retreat, media room, or quiet escape. Bathrooms are arranged to support both family life and visitors comfortably. A wood burner with heat transfer provides reliable winter warmth, while a heat pump in the lounge and cottage ensures year-round comfort. Solar power and an EV charger contribute to efficient, future-focused living. Set on approximately 8,002sqm, the property delivers on privacy and space while retaining easy access to the village.
