There's a moment you'll have on the deck here. The barbecue's going, the wine's poured, the kids are somewhere in the garden, and you'll realise you haven't thought about anything else for an hour. That's what this home does. Tucked into one of Parkvale's most sought-after tree-lined streets, this generous 190m2 (more or less) home sits on an established 677sqm (more or less) corner section offering genuine privacy, peace, and space to breathe. Step inside and you'll feel the scale of it. Vaulted ceilings soar above the open-plan living, dining and kitchen, flooding the heart of the home with light. At 190m2, this is a seriously generous floor plan, the kind of footprint where growing families don't live on top of each other, with a beautiful natural flow throughout. Three well-proportioned bedrooms are joined by a versatile fourth room: office, rumpus, sewing room, guest bedroom or teenage retreat; the choice is yours. Both bathrooms have been recently refreshed and present neat, tidy and ready to enjoy. Then there's the deck. The living area opens onto a brand-new covered wraparound deck that transforms how you'll live here: long sunny lunches, dinner under cover rain or shine, and room to add a spa if you're so inclined. High fencing wraps it all in privacy and security. Being a corner section, that 677m2 (more or less) works harder for you: space on all sides, framed by an established, well-cared-for garden. Comfort's been thought about too. Near-full painting, full insulation and two heat pumps (one recently installed in the main bedroom) keep it warm in winter and cool in summer, while the double internal-access garage handles the cars, bikes and storage. The location seals it. Five minutes to the boutique charm of Havelock North Village and moments from vibrant Hastings, with Windsor Park close by and Splash Planet a short hop away. For families, the school options are outstanding: Parkvale School, Hastings Intermediate and Karamū High School are all close at hand, with Iona College, Woodford House, Lindisfarne College, St John's College, Hastings Christian School and Taikura Rudolf Steiner School all within reach. Private, peaceful, move-in ready, and on a street where people wait years to buy into. Homes like this don't come up often. Call me now to arrange your private viewing.

Tucked away in a quiet Parkvale street, this tidy two-bedroom unit is proof that good things really do come in low-maintenance packages. Step inside, and you'll be surprised; the home feels bigger than it looks. The open-plan kitchen, living and dining flow together beautifully, with the kitchen catching that gorgeous morning sun and offering plenty of bench space and storage for whoever's cooking. Curl up in the lounge with the heat pump keeping things cosy all year round. From both the living area and the master bedroom, sliders open out onto a paved, covered patio and garden, your own private spot for a quiet cup of tea in the afternoon sun, or firing up the BBQ with friends over summer. The backyard gives you just enough room to relax, potter about, and make it your own, without the upkeep of a big section. Two well-sized bedrooms, a separate toilet for everyday convenience, a light-filled bathroom enhanced by an overhead skylight, and a separate laundry all add to the home’s practicality. Every corner feels warm and welcoming. Add in a secure garage, off-street parking with an easy turning bay, and a location that puts you walking distance from Queens Square Park, Cornwall Park, plus close to the supermarket, Parkvale School and Karamu High School, and you've got a home that just makes life easy. Whether you're buying your first home, adding to your portfolio, or looking to downsize without compromise, this one ticks every box. Quiet street. Low maintenance. Close to everything. This really is the complete package. Call me now to arrange a private viewing or come and see me at the open home.
