Buffered from the pace of the city, and nestled away behind easily recognisable gates, the sweeping driveways lead up to this revered riverside landmark property. The sprawling 470m2 split-level residence was originally designed in the mid 60s by prominent Hamilton architects, Aubrey and Mary de Lisle, for aviation pioneer Ossie James. Quality builds of this era had such great pedigree - generously proportioned rooms and spaces normally reserved for privileged and distinguished country-like settings. The substantial home revels in its own beautiful, secluded realm overlooking sweeping lawns, lush borders, grand leafy trees, and an inground pool complete with diving board. The property's foremost asset would have to be the land itself, which at 5345m2 would easily ensure its title as one of Hamilton's largest inner city properties. It's as private as any country estate, yet directly opposite the entrance to the Waikato Diocesan School for Girls. This timeless estate is dignified, distinguished and one of the City's biggest and most elusive secrets. Properties of this calibre seldom change ownership - don't wait another generation to secure your family's future. Call Ashwin or Grant to make your appointment now.
