Exceptional riverside home
Very established yet rarely on the market, this exceptional riverside property last changed hands 50 years ago. The home is an original 1930s bungalow that underwent a transformation soon after coming into possession of the current owners.
It sits on a large tract of central real estate where it enjoys outstanding views of Hamilton’s iconic Fairfield Bridge and Waikato River. The 1469sqm section delivers a great feeling of privacy and space, enhanced by a reserve on the boundary.
Full of character and comfort, the home is much more than your standard period bungalow. It has recreational facilities for the all the family and an independent studio unit, ideally suited to extended family, guests and private accommodation.
The home’s light-filled interiors deliver a spacious format for relaxed living and entertaining, highlighted by an effortless relationship with the outdoors and the scenic outlook.
There are formal and informal dining options, a media room and office. The suite of three bedrooms includes a master with ensuite.
Indoor-outdoor flow is designed for easy connection to the large entertainment deck, swimming pool and covered spa for all-weather enjoyment. Plenty of parking is provided by a double internalaccess garage and single garage.
The well-appointed studio, with a kitchenette and ensuite, has seamless access to the outdoors via french doors which open to the natural environment and river vista. Comfort and convenience are prioritised here, with gas central heating, gas heating, a new gas hot water system and three airconditioning units.
‘‘It is an extremely desirable riverside family home,’’ says Lodge sales consultant Richard Lindsay, ‘‘and an absolute one-off opportunity to own or develop prime river-front and park-side land.’’
The well-maintained property is brought to market with pride.
Picturesque grounds surround the immaculate home, which lies in a chic pocket of Fairfield in strolling distance of trendy shops, cafe´ and river walks.
