About Sophie Sheild-Barrett
Giving freely of her time to establish a solid connection with clients is something fundamental to Sophie Sheild-Barrett, who feels it is vital to the successful conclusion of all real estate business. After nearly a decade in the real estate industry, she knows that developing trust through a strong working relationship with her vendors is essential for a successful outcome. In-depth communication with her clients provides Sophie with a thorough understanding of their needs, wants and expectations which in turn allows her to create tailor-made marketing campaigns, or promote property, best suited to their needs. Detail-oriented, proactive and considered, she is able to develop a strategy that is unique for each of her clients. As her client’s strongest advocate, she wants them to feel protected, educated and in control throughout the entire process, and she believes that if they have a better understanding, it can lessen the stress that selling and buying property can create. Repeat clients, as well as numerous referrals, are testament to Sophie’s exceptional work ethic, integrity, commitment and dedication, as well as her determination to achieve the best result possible. Sophie’s in-depth knowledge of Hawke’s Bay was cultivated by raising her own family of three boys here, providing her with insight into the changing needs of families throughout their different life stages. When not helping clients achieve their property goals, Sophie can be found out and about with family and friends, walking her two dogs and experiencing all the great things Hawke’s Bay has to offer.
After 23 happy years in this delightful family home, our owner has decided that the hammer must fall on October 14th.
This is a rare opportunity to acquire premium real estate in one of Havelock North's golden streets. In the heart of the village, close to schools and very private, this gracious 1950s family home was architecturally designed by J.S Kingsford and sits atop a glorious plot of land. With a land area of some 2328 sq m, there is plenty of potential upside to explore development opportunities for this elevated site.
Comfortable, charming and conveniently located, the dwelling is cleverly designed and exceptionally well built, featuring three double bedrooms, two bathrooms, an open plan kitchen and spacious living/dining areas.
This home is an entertainer's dream and ideal for families of all ages with its light and bright living spaces that flow effortlessly onto a north-facing terrace and out to expansive landscaped grounds. A sun-filled conservatory offers a private space to relax and reflect, while the office and separate laundry are a must for busy family living.
Lovingly maintained over the years and featuring native timbers, this home proudly retains the original flavour of its era while offering plenty of scope. Live in it and love it as is, modernise, extend, landbank or develop - the choice is yours. An opportunity like this doesn't come along every day and shouldn't be overlooked.
