A solid, concrete/stucco construction, 1917 character family home in a quiet, tree-lined area, close to amenities, parks and alongside the Waikato River.
With a 9m fully-fenced swimming pool, secluded landscaped gardens, paved paths, driveway & poolside patio. 2 garden sheds, a bike shed, fishpond and mature plantings, there is always a safe, sheltered nook or cranny to relax in.
Inside, as well as the 5 bedrooms (one of which we have used as an office), there is a renovated designer (Sandra Grummit) kitchen, 2 renovated bathrooms, 3rd toilet, laundry/pantry, jacket & shoe cupboard, dining & family rooms opening onto patio, and large hallway.
Most rooms have polished wooden floors; there is solar water-heating, a heat pump, 3 rooms with fireplaces and one room has in-ceiling electric heating - but it's cool in summer and warm in winter due to the thick outer walls and ceiling insulation, so not a lot of heating is needed.
Many of the ceilings include plaster features and chandeliers, with native wood features in most rooms. The kitchen has a large (commercial) oven with gas cooktop; the house is wired for broadband and Sky TV.
Our kids went to a local primary school and bussed into high school in Hamilton (bus-stop 2 minutes from the house); and the local medical centre, pharmacy, supermarket, library and bank are all within 5-6 minutes' walk, along with many other shops.
The house can never be 'built out' with the riverside park/walkway immediately across the street, and a street park used as the kids' playing area beside.
The house is set up so the front 2 rooms, plus bathroom could be an income-earning B & B, separated from the rest of the house.
This is a PRIVATE SALE, and we are willing to negotiate with serious potential purchasers - contact Dave on the numbers below, or Jane on 021-222 0191; viewings at times that work for us all can be ar
