Be captivated by this awe-inspiring turn of the century villa poised on an elevated site, overlooking Hamilton Lake and privately positioned next to reserve grounds. Exuding history and elegance, this tightly held home offers a strong sense of legacy, the perfect blend of history and modern conveniences for families seeking their forever home. There is also the opportunity to acquire two neighbouring properties.

The 314 sq m homestead is on a generous 1,234 sq m landholding that commands two legal entrances. The original homestead is steeped in rich history and has been modernised and extended by its long-time owners. Empathetically executed elements include extending out the main living area with detailed matching of the existing sash windows, native timbers and carved features. There is a new Robin Caldwell designer kitchen with sleek American Oak cabinetry and porcelain benchtop as well as an adjacent snug area.

The villa itself dates back to 1913 with its long history documented. It is resplendent with a treasure trove of period features including exquisite native Matai flooring, period fireplaces, custom leadlight windows and doors, Rimu skirtings and sills. Downstairs consists of two entrances, the stunning central living hub as well as an exquisite separate formal living room both flanked by wrap-around verandas. There are a further three bedrooms, powder room and main bathroom that complete the ground floor. Make your way upstairs to the inspiring master suite with private views overlooking Hamilton Lake, complete with walk-in robe and en-suite. There is a generous study and serene landing that looks out to the neighbouring reserve and the city-scape beyond.

The private grounds include specimen trees that date back to the age of the homestead. Nestled amongst the grounds is the inground swimming pool with independent change room and the sheltered portico, providing the ultimate setting for summer living and relaxed family living. To the rear of the property is a detached, sizable multi-purpose room which has provided a great space for family to retreat to.

Positioned in a sought-after Hamilton locale within walking distance to Waikato Hospital and central Hamilton City.

The owner’s hard decision to sell presents an extremely rare opportunity for the astute buyer to secure their Hamilton Landmark.

“Don’t miss this rare offering - phone for your private appointment to view.”

Developers and buyers wanting future potential, the two adjoining properties on separate titles are available for purchase.
