    Description

    Originally from New Zealand, I have just returned from living in France for 10 years. Our house in Napier is a beautiful villa from 1928 which needs a birthday. We have completed some of the work and want to begin on the exterior. It is a 4 bedroom house, located close to Marine Parade in Napier South. Easy walk or bike to the beach and town centre. I am living there alone at the moment and my wife is overseas. Come and enjoy this beautiful spot!
