366 Elsthorpe Road, Otane, Central Hawkes Bay

An exceptional collaboration of stunning design, superior craftsmanship, and refined luxury, this recently completed executive-style family home built by the highly reputable "Schaw Building" is sure to exceed even the highest of purchaser expectations. Positioned within one of Central Hawke's Bay's most desirable and sought-after rural developments, the property sits upon an elevated 1.752-hectare (4.32-acre) site, offering breathtaking north-facing vistas over the picturesque Otane countryside. At its heart, a magnificent open plan living space serves as the ultimate living and entertaining hub with integration between the two outdoor entertaining areas and separate media room. Every detail has been thoughtfully considered, from the stunning bespoke kitchen, complete with a walk-in scullery and high-end appliances including dual ovens, underfloor heating in the tiled bathrooms to the high-quality fixtures and finishes throughout. Off the central hallway are four double bedrooms, including a spacious master suite with a walk-in wardrobe, a beautifully appointed ensuite, and direct access to the deck. A practical office space opens off the hallway, alongside the main bathroom, generous linen storage, and internal access to the double garage via the separate laundry. Outside, the landscaping is underway, with selected trees and low-maintenance plantings already in the ground. A residence only bridle path encompasses the perimeter of the development, offering a shared space for leisure and walking. Ideally located just minutes from the popular Otane village while being handy to both Waipawa and Waipukurau townships and only a 30 minute commute to Hastings and Havelock North.

Taking on a character renovation - doing it well and doing it right - can be a tricky task, but my vendors have nailed it here. They've taken this charming 1930s style bungalow and given it a cosmetic glow up, bringing style to the vintage vibe, updating and refreshing without stripping away its heart and soul. Bespoke character features and rustic timber detailing are now enhanced by a beautiful neutral palette, gorgeous furnishings, and brand-new, yet in keeping fixtures and fittings in the kitchen and bathroom. The open-plan kitchen, dining, and living area now flows beautifully out to a sun-drenched wraparound style deck with a beautiful north-facing aspect, creating an inviting space to entertain or unwind. The three spacious double bedrooms are complemented by a stunning bathroom with luxurious freestanding tub, glass shower and gorgeous tiled floor. Value has been added with a heat pump, insulation in the ceilings, underfloor and some walls and a new roof. Outside is a family friendly oasis with great lawns for play, double garage and a large off-street parking bay. Situated in a premium Otane location directly opposite a quality new residential development, this home puts you just a leisurely stroll from village amenities including the bakery, dairy, primary school, and park, with Hastings only a 30-minute commute. Stylish, sunny, and superbly situated - 23 Dee Street isn't just a house - it's your new home.
