This glorious family villa was once home to William Hayes; master builder and namesake of the Hamilton East enclave Hayes Paddock. Built around 1887, the home has undergone a meticulous renovation. Its superb bones have been revealed, highlighted and blended with modern features for convenient living.

Constructed mainly of Kauri, the period home is an example of one of Hamilton's finest historic villas - a showcase of decorative fretwork, original detailed ceilings, and incredible Victorian craftsmanship. The renovation has been a labour of love and now all the work has been done. The three bedroom, two living room house is warm and inviting and has two new fully tiled bathrooms with underfloor tiled heating and a tasteful, modern, kitchen installed.

Outside, mature trees and manicured hedges frame the garden. The gated grounds have been carefully and cleverly landscaped to include outdoor living areas suitable for entertaining and family living today.

The original one bedroom cottage is also on site and has been transformed into a contemporary work space offering many exciting options for the new owner such as a bed and breakfast, home office or teenage sleepout.

The property is conveniently located to cafes, river walks, local amenities and falls within the desirable Hillcrest High School zone.
