575 River Road, Fairfield, Hamilton

Exquisitely renovated home

This exquisitely renovated, central home offers tranquillity, privacy and sweeping river views. Quality fittings throughout, meticulous attention to detail, and a stunning situation set this home apart. Solidly built in the 1940's, this river-side home was transformed in 2008 and went on to win top honours in both the regional and national House of the Year awards for its renovations, thanks to the craftsmanship of Glenn Diffey Builders. There are four bedrooms. The master suite is luxuriously appointed with beautiful river views, a walk-in wardrobe, French doors and a magnificent ensuite complete with a double shower, bidet and feature bath. Contemporary and well designed, the kitchen has Corian bench tops, Bosch appliances and soft close drawers. There are two living spaces and an open-plan dining room. Multiple large scale decking options offer shaded areas at any time during the hot summer days or evenings, French doors merge inside and out and make summertime entertaining a delight. The portico allows for outdoor living year round and a second deck provides an idyllic, sunny spot from which to relax and watch the river run by. Landscaped gardens and gorgeous plantings work in harmony with the environment. The home has an integrated entertainment system, electric gates, solar water heating, strategically placed hush-glass, a wood burner and three heat pump and air conditioning units. Ideally located, it is within walking distance of the city centre and has direct access to the Waikato River path. This superb home truly is a river-side haven.
