European soul, Havelock heart
There's a story behind this home - and it's one you can feel the moment you walk through the door. 12 Lovat Street was personally designed by Roswitha Robertson, a Vienna-born fashion designer who made her mark in Hawke's Bay in the 1950s and 60s. Known for her couture work and European training, she brought that same precision, structure and creativity into the design of her own home - creating something truly one of a kind. Inspired by Austrian Alpine architecture, the home has been thoughtfully positioned to follow the sun, working with the contour of the hillside and split across multiple levels to maximise light, warmth and views. The main entrance is a standout feature, with full-height glazing that draws you in and sets the tone for what's to come. Inside, the living spaces flow with purpose. The lounge steps up to the dining area, kitchen and an additional sitting room, creating separation without losing connection. A wraparound sun porch and veranda further enhance the way this home captures light and movement throughout the day. There are two bedrooms and one bathroom upstairs, while the ground floor offers a utility room with separate access, a laundry, an additional bathroom, and a rumpus room. Previously used as a business, this versatile lower level offers excellent potential for a home office, guest accommodation, or flexible living space. Set on a large, private, well-established section, the home offers strong bones and a clear design identity. It's now ready for someone who can recognise what it is - and what it could become. Positioned in a sought-after Havelock North address, within walking distance to the village and close to quality schooling, this is a rare opportunity to secure a home with genuine authorship, history and architectural presence. Not just a home - but a piece of Hawke's Bay story, ready for its next chapter.

North facing, set on 2.03 ha (approx.), it delivers privacy without sacrificing breathtaking views across Hawke’s Bay’s finest vineyards and North to Napier’s Bluff Hill, with iconic Te Mata Peak nestled behind.

The master suite is a retreat of its own, complete with a cosy office nook, private bathroom, all of generous proportions - perfect for personal sanctuary or accommodating extended family. The large sunroom, adjoining the main lounge offers endless possibilities and versatility: a creative studio, office space, teenage hang-out, a yoga sanctuary or additional guest accommodation. Completing the picture is a wine cellar, extended ample storage, and 3-car garaging. Outdoors, the property is equally impressive. There are three fenced paddocks including stockyards lending itself to sheep and horses. The established gardens are a true paradise. Abundance and variety of fruit trees, a berry house, large vegetable garden and sheds with a delightful “playhouse” overlooking the terraces. Just four minutes drive from Havelock North Village, this lifestyle property truly has it all - space, serenity, and scenery in one perfect package. hawkesbaylifestyle.com
