Greenslade House

Greenslade House is one of Hamilton's most elegant, notable and historic homes. Built by craftsmen in 1912 for politician, gold speculator and journalist Henry Greenslade, the towering riverside home has recently been reconditioned and rejuvenated to highlight its stunning Edwardian features.

The category 1, Historic Place features native timber from the Mamaku Range, striking pressed zinc ceilings from Germany, and beautiful stained glass windows with a rose motif that were commissioned by its original owners.

With its spectacular curved staircase, magnificent fire surrounds, balconies with ornate wooden balustrades, and impressive octagonal turret, this grand three level residence will appeal to those with an eye for design.
Greenslade House offers 490 sqm of luxurious living, including a library/office or fifth bedroom, formal dining room, four bedrooms, art studio and choice of three elegant living areas. There's even a sewing room and many quiet nooks for reading and enjoying the expansive river views. A separate studio is ideal as a home business or for additional accommodation. The Wellington Street home has plenty of storage, a butlers' pantry, a sophisticated security system, four open fire places, heat pumps and a new gas central heating system.

Recent extensive, no cost spared renovations include an entire back to bare board repaint of the exterior (guaranteed for 15 years), restoration of the porch and leadlight windows and reconditioning of the roof and all the joinery.

Other significant upgrades include a new driveway, pergola and parking bay, a new garage, and restoration of the existing garage. This versatile building is currently utilised as a home business showroom. The revamped courtyard enhances the stately character of the home, which was designed by American architect, John W. Warren, a forerunner of the famous Frank Lloyd Wright

Meticulously maintained, landscaped gardens enhance this 1328sqm heritage property.

The work has been done, so enjoy Greenslade House's rich history and relax as the river floats by.
