This fine residence is tucked away in one of the city's most sought after locations and enjoys uninterrupted views of the Waikato River to Mount Pirongia beyond. Set on a flat, lush 3231 m2 section, on two titles, the property has two entrances (the second off River Road) and options for subdivision. Behind the automatic gates sits all a family could desire; an exquisitely appointed 572m2 home, park-like grounds, a heated, in-ground, indoor swimming pool, a sauna and a gymnasium (all located in an additional 160m2 detached building). Pull under the covered portico and step into the impressive entrance hall. Discover the home theatre and the huge, lodge-style games room and bar. There is a one bedroom guest wing, three extra, very large bedrooms, two ensuites and three bathrooms. Four living areas ensure there's a spot for everyone and provide a choice of formal and informal spaces for entertaining. The elegant kitchen is the hub of the home and features soft touch drawers, an induction cook-top, European appliances and Corian bench-tops. Wrap around decks and picture windows make the most of the stunning vista. There are work from home options in the new separate office. Positioned to the side of the garage for privacy and with its own bathroom and lunchroom, the office has been smart-wired with a Dynamix control unit and could easily be converted into a second guest area or 5th bedroom suite. Ultra-fast fibre feeds the home, and a zoned entertainment system is linked to the outdoor living areas. There is ducted central heating. Store your vehicles in the three car, internal access garage - a space with a separate workshop and an abundance of storage. Constructed of cedar and schist, this home is both striking and appealing. You will find this extra-ordinary property just a few kilometres from the CBD and walking distance to several sought after schools. It is in a class of its own.
