Stylish rural haven

-

Location:

Temple View was establishe­d in the 1950s as a suburb, surrounded by countrysid­e. The greater area remains as farmland and large proportion­s have been subdivided into lifestyle blocks. Easy accessibil­ity to Dinsdale, the CBD and Waikato Hospital make the area popular.

Descriptio­n:

Engulfed in a quiet country setting, this stylish five-bedroom bagged-brick home delivers comfort and ease in the context of modern life. It spreads its wings over 318sqm of fine living and opens to the outdoors via multiple exit points. The kitchen and dining pavilion in the central hub is flanked by living areas and book-ended by bedroom wings. Parents and children are treated to their own private retreats. A portico encourages lazy outdoor living against a rural backdrop, while indoors, the lounge and living room provide superb break-out spaces where everyone can kick back and relax. Garaging and storage is plentiful, guests have ample parking and children have loads of space to create happy childhood memories. The Temple View location means shops and urban services are handy.

Vendor’s feedback:

We’ve loved living in this fantastic, modern new home. Being only a 10–12 minute drive to the Hamilton CBD, it’s been ideal for us working in the city and the girls at HGHS. The location isn’t well known and friends are always surprised at how close it is to town while still having a rural outlook. Being on a no-exit road keeps traffic to a minimum so it is very peaceful, and has a beautiful north-facing outlook that can’t be built out. The house was designed to give our daughters their own space while allowing everyone to come together in the kitchen/dining, and outdoor areas. Gardening isn’t our strong point so the landscapin­g was designed to be low maintenanc­e. Our neighbour uses the two small paddocks for grazing for their sheep.
