79 Hot Water Beach Road, RD1, Whenuakite, Thames-Coromandel

Memories are created here

As you drive down the long entrance of 79 Hot Water Beach Road, a driveway lovingly known as Bill Donovan Memorial Drive, you genuinely take a trip down memory lane.
This 1920's weatherboard bungalow has all the charm of yesteryear, situated on a 3.4 hectare (mol) rural section scattered with mature fruit trees and old English roses. The two-story home is a classic abode that can be customised to your liking, with nostalgia evoking quirks like the telephone stand in the hallway and the character kitchen.
On the ground level there is three large bedrooms, the kitchen, lounge room and dining room plus a family bathroom. The covered porch is a welcome retreat to enjoy a cold drink on a sunny day.
As you head up the stairs, you will find a spacious light filled private master suite, with raking ceilings, a separate living space, walk in robe and ensuite with views over the lush landscape. The original sharemilkers quarters could be an interesting future project to restore, and the implement shed provides some storage on site.
The whimsical gardens surrounding the home feature magnolias, camellias and hydrangeas and will bring delight and surprise as bulbs flower and come to life through the different seasons.
If the walls of this home could talk, they would tell you of years full of music, laughter, fun and happy grandchildren enjoying their holidays. This is so much more than a house, it is a sanctuary created by a much-loved matriarch, that provided comfort and solace for family, and a peaceful retreat with nature and birdsong as your only backdrop.
The time has come to pass the torch to another family, to create special memories of their own - the options are endless.
