This gracious rural bungalow was built towards the end of WWI and, over the years has been tastefully renovated and updated to accommodate modern family living. Many original features remain including the elegant plaster archway in the wide entrance hall, the high stud and the richly-coloured, polished, native timber floors. With five bedrooms, two bathrooms, an office, a formal dining room and lounge and an open plan kitchen, dining and living area there is an abundance of space for the entire family. Unlike some houses of its era, light floods into the living spaces, storage has been built in to all of the bedrooms and warmth in winter is assured by way of a wood burner in the living area, a Jetmaster ducted open fire in the formal lounge and a silent, fan driven heat transfer system to the bedrooms. There is also a delightful indoor /outdoor flow through French doors to porches and patios to the north, east and west of the home. The large, covered north-facing terrace can be enjoyed year round. Outbuildings include a triple bay garage with an extra height door to accommodate a large boat or camper. A room to the rear of the garage would be ideal for a games room, for a substantial home office or to convert to a separate area for guests. Set of 2.66 ha the property has a tennis court, a small orchard, gorgeous established trees and a rose garden along with fertile paddocks, a bore water supply, stockyards and a loading race. Zoned for Tamahere Model School and for Berkley Intermediate, this charming home offers a family the best of country living just a few minutes from both Hamilton and Cambridge.
