Gorgeous Arts and Crafts bungalow

This gorgeous Arts and Crafts bungalow sits elegantly above the Waikato River within walking distance of the centre of Hamilton City. Gracious in its style and generously proportioned, there are six bedrooms (or five plus an office), two spacious, light-filled living areas, two bathrooms and a stunning new kitchen. With its tasteful blend of original features and a recent high-end renovation, this home has all a growing family could need for convenient, modern living yet it exudes charm. Built in 1919, it has a deep front veranda, impressive entrance hall, native timber flooring, diamond shaped feature windows typical of the Arts and Crafts era and wide bay windows. Its recent makeover has included repainting, recarpeting and the installation of a wireless top-of-the-range security system and sleek wooden louvres to ensure privacy and manage the amount of light that streams into the home. The smart, contemporary kitchen is just a few months old and has a stone bench top, European appliances including an oversized oven, an additional combination microwave/oven, an integrated dishwasher and abundant storage. French doors from living areas spill onto a sunny deck and outdoor living area complete with an open fire. The master bedroom is found on the lower level and has a walk in wardrobe and ensuite. Upstairs there are four large bedrooms, one which is currently being used as an extra living area and has access to a balcony affording beautiful views out over the Waikato River and the city beyond. Set on 1158 m2 of delightfully landscaped grounds, the fully fenced property has double garaging, a carport and a lockable extra storage area. With its modern incarnation, splendid character features, airy spaces and warm atmosphere, this is truly a fine family home. \nOur vendors are relocating so this property will be sold.\n
