Designed by DeLisle Jenkins Architects, who also managed the building project, and situated on one of the premier sections in prestigious Stonebridge Estate just outside Hamilton City boundary, this large home combines privacy with views to a rare extent. The original owners are downsizing and planning to spend more time abroad.

Elegant double-height entrance hall leading to the open-plan dining/family room area with attached conservatory. Kitchen opening onto the family area, with serving window to the conservatory. Formal drawing room with gas fire. One bedroom/office and adjacent bathroom. Laundry room.

Upstairs:
Master bedroom with en-suite bathroom and wardrobe room, situated at the eastern end of the house; two balconies. Large double bedroom at the western end with its own foyer, spa bathroom and separate toilet, the ideal guest quarters. This bedroom also has its own balcony. Third single bedroom. Spacious room currently in use as a computer room and library; could also make a great media room or pool room with amazing views.

Set well back from the main estate road, the property enjoys maximum privacy. Mature garden attracts plenty of indigenous birds (Fantails, Grey Warblers, Rosellas, Tuis, even the odd Kaka).

Perhaps the property's most impressive feature is its impregnable panorama over more than 180 degrees, encompassing the old Park International Country Club golf course below, the Taitua Arboretum, Pirongia mountain and the Hakarimatas. You won't find a lovelier view in the whole Hamilton area, and to top it all, the arboretum is the perfect place for your morning walk.
